OT: Jon ... send my Sterling to ya

[phatduckk]

Jon,

Called customer support and get a return auth number for my Blue Dawn Sterling. So I'm gonna send her off to you this weekend.

Asia (???) said something on the phone about a body replacement if the crack in the paint it "bad" ... hopefully that's not the case!

Anywho ... givin ya a heads up.

 

[jongitarz]

We usually replace the whole body. It is too labor intensive to strip, and refinish a body.

hmmm ... sounds like this could be an expensive repair. if the price is what I was told over the phone i wont send it back and just live with it ...

can you please email or PM me when you get a chance? phatudckk[at]yahoo.com

Don't 'spose there's any chance of buying that defective body, is there? Be cool to custom paint a Music Man!

i have a hunch that the repair fee associated with replacing the body is gonna be high ... if jon confirms that then im not gonna send it in.

OK Jon ... i just dropped the Sterling off at the Fed Ex store and they said you'll get it in about 2 days since SLO is so close.

They didnt have a box for it so i had to make one by cutting up 2 boxes and taping the hell out of 'em ... hope it holds (ya i got insurance)

oh ya ... they tried to sell my those peanut things to pack it with but I remembered you ranting about em

Thanks

It's here, safe and sound. I have already ordered the new body, and those dings in the neck will be no problem to take out.

DUDE ... i just had to hold myself back from saying "i l**e you" ... so since i cant say that then "thanks a million" is gonna have to do

I feel honored that im gonna get a "jongitarz setup" on my fav bass ever

[jongitarz]

Seen it?? I damn near finished it today! It is on my bench, and I just have to install the ground lug, and it will be ready to ship back to you. I replaced the pots and wired them like the 20th Aniv. models were wired. That is a sweet bass

Jon, I almost never ask you anything about repairs because I figure you get enough of that from people who want to ask you questions about repairs, but did you ever read the thread(s) about removing slight dents/dings from the back of the neck?

The wet towel/iron trick?

Just wondering if you have a different/better method.

 

[bovinehost]

By the way, Todd?

Ask Jon about "his bench".

I use a wet paper towel and my soldering iron, and then sand the rest out, and you can ask me repair questions anytime......I won't answer them, but you can ask
