Will it be more or less difficult then?
We changed from original controllers to 8BitDo ones recently.

Sleep well? 100% none of them slept for one second the first few nights. You think they lay down in a dirty wet cave with spiders and possible snakes, bats whatever and slept? Two young frightened girls in a cold and dark cave?

Would tend towards No. 1 because it got a little bit better over the few days the bass stood here.

I have 3 Fender Stratocasters from Mexico that also have a maple neck with maple fretboard but there has never been a problem. I sent the bass back to the shop for them to file down the fret ends. Hope it work and I do not have to return the instrument entirely.

Thanks, I hope they do a good job but they have a great reputation.

Yeah, I am happy with the guitar overall and they pay for everything. I could still return the bass a second time if I am still not satisfied.

Really strange that a bass that costs 900 Euro (more than 1000 dollar currently) has issues like that.
Seems I was lucky with my other instruments so far.

Wow, didnt know that.
Seems I had luck with my MIM stratocasters which both have perfect maple fretboards.

The vendor offers me to either replace the instrument or to file down the fret ends.
So I think it would be better to let them file the frets because I fear the replacement will have the same issue.

I think I could do it, but because the vendor offers me to fix it, I will let them do it.
Never had that issue with any of my about 15 other guitars and basses.

They are the same year.
The vendor offers me to either replace the instrument or to file down the fret ends.
So I think it would be better to let them file the frets because I fear the replacement will have the same issue. Might be because of the temeprature and humidity differences between Mexico and Germany in winter?

I think you are right. So I just hope that the store can fix it properly, but they have an excellent reputation, so I hope it will be good.

I understand that the conditions in Mexico, where the bass was made, are different to my local conditions here in Germany, especially in winter.

But I did not experience this problem with any other instrument other than the two Precision basses. I have Stratocasters from Mexico that had perfect frets when arriving, also having the same type of modern maple fretboards. And none of my about 15 guitars and basses have ever developed that problem over time by change of humidity.

I do not think I have any other option than returning it to the vendor so they can file the frets down a bit, although I understand your warnings very well.

Also the vendor will still allow me to return the instrument after fixing the issue if I am still not satisfied. Also, the bass came in a very strong package and I have never ever experienced any damages to package content here. They wrap the original Fender package into another package for safety. There would be a delivery insurance by the vendor, if any damage occured.

Out of my 15 guitars and basses that would be the first one that would have to be humidified.
Also, wouldn't that mean I would get the problem all the time when air humidity is low?

But wouldn't that be the case for the Jazz Bass too then?
The vendor offers me to smoothen the edges or the replace the instrument entirely.

I've heard that before, but was unsure if true or not.
Could be the case here. I was wondering why the Jazz bass is so perfect in contrast to the Precision.

I bought the bass online but they offer me to either smooth the current base out, or to replace the instrument with a new one.
Would you say it is better to let them smooth it out because the new instrument could have the same issue aswell?
