As with all other reviews on the internet, my black tuners are also useless, they will simply turn up to a point after which you will end up grinding the gears ( they lock right up) literally the worst tuners I’ve ever seen in 35 years playing, the neck ….🤦🏻‍♂️…. Not stable at all, truss rod maxed out and still not straight, single action truss rod made of the cheapest materials on the planet and does not counteract the tension of even the lightest gauge strings, there are a couple tricks to remedy this, will probably end up having to take the fretboard off and install a two way rod just to make it playable unless you like high action, not the most fun job.. 🤮 at this price point I have never seen an instrument this bad. I always wait a while ( 6 months to a year) before I make a review of a product. Sorry, 30 day trial is not enough for any instrument, Yes my home has a special humidity controlled room, I have a huge guitar/bass collection of very expensive guitars, I also build and repair guitars. Only thing this bass has going for itself is the purple finish and all black hardware with roasted neck and « looks » very appealing, ( look at the finish close enough you’ll see orange peel) beware, it’s the worse purchase I’ve ever made, not worth the price at all. How does it sound though? As good as you can play it.

Got this purple sparkle ray 34 in November. Owning pbass,ric,jazz and a ray 5 I new what I was getting in to. Boy this bass sounds amazing the 3 band eq is very easy to dial in tones. You can get bassy lows and hi gain punk rock sounds out of this and everything in between. The assembly and finish are flawless. Roasted maple neck is superb and actually darker than on the pictures. Set-up is perfect, as I understand the bass is made in Indonesia but setup in the usa. Bridge,tuners,electronics comme from the Ernie ball 2018 lineup. Bet you couldn't hear the difference side by side. I would say that quality wise this one stands to American performer series by fender. Gig bag is a good quality also.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
