Title: Do my eyes decieve me?
Post by: crazykiwi on November 02, 2006, 11:06:06 PM
On the bass website I run, an italian member has put a MK up for sale.  Its a nice bass only on closer inspection of the photos there's a hair line crack in the facing wood which looks to be repaired.  As far as I can tell from the photo, it affects ONLY the facing wood.  
 
This is the instrument concerned:

and here's a close up of the area:

I have to say, I would be very surprised if a flawed piece of wood was used at the factory.  Is this possible?
