Ibanez SRH500F-NNF

I will not go into details about how this bass should be as it has been covered by others. My copy looks and feels fine but there are 3 dead notes on G string that do not sing like the rest. It is not uncommon to have one note that sings less than the others but I think this is the worst case I have seen. Plus the bass has more sustain than your usual bass which makes the dead notes more noticable. For some reason I recieved the bass with a gig bag although Thomann and the manufacturer clearly states that it is without one. I am working on returning the bass for a refund.
