the Indonesia factory is just so hit or miss. The first GWB35 I got was damaged by FedEx, and sadly it was really good otherwise. The replacement was not near the instrument of the first, and right now it's sitting dead on the stand after two months of not being touched (was traveling). bumping it makes it sound again, so I'm sure reflowing the solder will sort the jack out. But it SAT MOTIONLESS for months and just stopped working -_- the ramp was installed poorly so I can't adjust the pickup,and the side of the fretboard is rough feeling, will have to sand it. I should have returned this basket case while it was still within zZounds return window. I wouldn't have bought this from a brick and mortar store. I'll get it working soon, but this is just stupid. There are no Ibanez repair centers near me and it's just not worth shipping another bass.
