hi
today i purchased a brand new (?) ttm57sl mixer from an authorized dealer guitar center here where i live and the mixer cost me a little over $1350 with the guitar center coupon i have and the sale going on this spesific product.
i had the opportunity to buy from ebay where unauthorized some dealers (?) offer this mixer for $1149.
Well it is good old story but lets cut it to the chest
sales people in guitar center brought the box and it seemed like no double taped a legit clean box that is being shipped straight from the manufacturer.i paid for it and took it home.i opened it and hooked it up but unfortunatly I CAN CLEARLY SEE AND IT IS VISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE THE SCREWS ON MIXER HAS SHINY LITTLE GRAY CHIPS AND SOMEONE OBVIOUSLY WENT THRU THE SCREWS WITH A SHARPIE SINCE WHEN I REFLECT SOME LIGHT TO THE SCREWS I CAN CLEARLY SEE THE INK !
THE MIXER UNFORTUNATLY CRASHED ONE TIME ON AN XP DESKTOP RUNING ON 1.9 THE LATEST PROGRAM.
TOMORROW I HAVE FULL TIME SCHOOL BUT WILL BE TAKING THE MIXER BACK AND ASK FOR ANOTHER BOX.
I WANTED YOU GUYS TO KNOW !
THANKS
