Hy guys, I am new in the forum but not as a MM player. After many used or cheaper instruments, I finally gifted myself with a new Bongo 5hH. I was so excited but when it arrived, I noticed things that questioned my thoughts on MM quality control I felt so sure about.
The bass arrived today and I found:
1) a small dent on a pot;
2) a very small white point on the neck (really microscopic);
3) a slight paint imperfection on the neck too, like rest of paint (microscopic);
4) the pickguard side seems scratched;
But what is bothering me the most, are these that seem more than imperfections of the wood or the paint which are pretty visible.
Finally, having to look at it less blindly, I also found lines all along the neck, like this ones:
Can you please tell me if that’s normal for a brand new 3.2 grands Music Man?
Thanks all for the support
