Wow thx all for the quick replies... Pardon my obvious ignorance on guitars... :???: Anyway I tried to take it back to SL (had to lug it all the way there since i have don't have my motorcycle anymore) but then i dropped it on the way cos it's so damn heavy so the SL staff refused to change it for me cos theres a huge dent on the bottom... ah well time to learn bass then.. BTW i purchased a hello kitty guitar strap from SL also, wondering how to attach it to the guitar.. any help guys?

What actually happened was I was walking up the escalator to Sweelee (the escalator was off) and then i lost my grip on the heavy bass and it dropped and slid down the escalator, explaining the multiple scratches. Because of this the SL staff refused to change it after examining it. Tmr i'll go pay them another visit to see if the year long warranty covers whatever damage was caused by the fall
