Long & McQuade Performance Assurance
Buying a new instrument is an exciting event and we want to ensure that every instrument we sell comes exactly how the manufacturer intended it to be. That is why Long & McQuade performs a quality control check for every stringed, brass, and woodwind instrument over $99 ordered online at Long-McQuade.com.
Our team of experienced staff will unbox your instrument and perform a detailed inspection to ensure it leaves our warehouse looking and playing great with our QC card signed and dated for your peace of mind.
We work hard to source the best instruments from around the world from the finest brands. It is important to us that you are completely satisfied with your new instrument purchase from day one onwards.
Stringed Instrument Performance Assurance Checklist
Unlike our free set-up, which is included within the first year of purchase, this process is done to have the instrument set to the factory specs rather than to each player's feel or preferences.
We look after the following:
- Inspect finish and hardware.
- Check electronics to make sure everything is in working order. Check batteries on active pickups.
- Inspect strings.
- Inspect frets and fretboard.
- Check truss rod. Adjust for bow and relief.
- Tune instrument to manufacturer’s specified tuning.
- Check/set action height.
- Stretch strings and re-tune instrument and ensure machine heads are working well.
- Check for fret buzz by playing every note.
- Check/set intonation.
- Check/set pickup height.
- Cleaning and professional repacking.

Nice little bass 3 of 3 customers found this review helpful
I was skeptical, seeing as the partial size bass I used to play didn’t have a very meaty sound to it and I expected the same from this one.
It has really basic features, but has a good weight to it, and it is super easy to play.
The rich, meaty sound I got really surprised me, in a good way.
If I was in the market for another partial size bass, I would seriously consider buying this instrument.
Solid Bass 5 of 5 customers found this review helpful
Playing through a Marshall MBB 30, sound is solid, and it plays really nice.
The finish is beautiful, seems too good for the price point.

Surprisingly good little bass 25 of 26 customers found this review helpful
I decided to try this bass because it was clearly higher quality than a Squier Bronco, but was more affordable than a Fender Mustang level instrument.
First the bad.
There's only one pick-up right at the neck, so tonal variation is, shall we say, limited. Adjusting the tone knob doesn't really seem to have much effect at all. I knew this when I made the purchase, so it doesn't bother me, but this isn't for you if you're looking for variety in this regard. The only other issue is that the cable jack hasn't been great - the nut that secures it doesn't stay tight, and the jack itself was ridiculously tight at the outset. It's slowly loosening over time, so it's really not a huge deal, and for $400 I can't really complain.
Another thing to watch out for here is neck dive - the SG body is really small, the tuning hardware is big for the size of the instrument, and the location of the strap peg at the bass of the neck all mean that if you let it go, the headstock will be pointing straight down in no time. Again, I new this when I bought it but if this is the sort of thing that bothers you, steer clear.
Now for the good.
It's pretty well setup out of the box. The action is perhaps a little high, but I'll just have it lowered when I bring it in for a setup/adjustment. Due to the relatively light string tension, this doesn't cause any playability problems, so it's really a matter of preference. The tuners are solid and don't seem to budge at all, the pots are smooth and everything works just as it should. Overall the hardware is great for the price point.
Now, I may have just gotten a good copy, but I find the finish on the neck and body to be outstanding. They would be good for an instrument several times this price, so for a bass coming in under $400 it's outstanding. The fretwork and neck are particularly impressive - perfectly rounded and as smooth as they could possibly be. I've compared it directly to friends instruments costing four to five times as much and it absolutely matches the quality of those when it comes to the finishing on the neck - it's crazy good for the price.
Finally, it's a lot of fun to look at and to play.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this bass. My ratings don't reflect my true appreciation of it, but are representative of what I think most people might be looking for. Based on it's charm and the above average fit and finish for the price, I'd be inclined to give it a much higher rating.
This was a very good introduction to short scale bass, and I'm looking forward to getting a Mustang in the near future for a some added tonal variation.

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.
