I just picked up a last years SR1300 used. The stiffness of the neck is nice. The wood choices ring well. The boast of comfortable fretwork does not hold true. I had an 80's $175 Samick that the fret edges could not be felt. These are not nice even though rounded. It's not the tange its the fret.
I reached out to a bass player that recently did some recording work and my studio, and asked to check out his new "premium" the fret edges where not nice. He said it was the only thing he didnt like about the bass either.
For over a grand list this should be super sweet. Especially an Indonesian dollar, time should be in abundance. Yet its a partially finished fretwork bass for over a grand.
Any other new Premium players experiencing this disappointment?
Any factory reps stepping up to counter the quality control issue and making it right?
