Part of the problem with both SX basses AND Fender basses is that quality control isn't exactly a high priority for either factory. I've seen American Fenders that were much more poorly constructed then some Squiers (and vice versa), whereas I've seen some SX basses that rival American Fenders, and some that might as well have been thrown in the trash. Somehow I think there will be a noticeably higher degree of consistency with Fender products than SX ones, but the fact remains. It sounds to me like you got one of the less than favorable ones.

Okay, rant over. How do you like the DiMarzio pickups? I don't own a bass equipped with them anymore, but I sure did love my Model J's while I had them. Hopefully the bass works for you.
