I just received my Custom Design Experience bass on 11/26. It's beautiful and plays great, but after just over a week of owning it, the 3-position selector switch seems to have developed an intermittent issue where the signal drops to being barely there in positions 2 and 3. Position 1 always works though. I first noticed late last week - I went to change position and got a nearly full signal dropout (I was recording and could see the meter just barely moving on positions 2 and 3). I immediately sent a support form on the Ernie Ball website, but haven't heard back yet. In the days since I first noticed, sometimes every position works and sometimes not.
I have some gigs coming up and sold my only other 5-string when I got this bass, so I'm reallllly hoping I won't need to send it in for repair (and pay for shipping a whole bass) for what will probably just be a cold solder joint.
Has anyone else had this issue? If it is indeed just a soldering issue, I would love to save the time and hassle of fixing it myself, but I obviously don't want to void the warranty if that's how that works?
