I second this...good advice! Especially if it's been on the wall at Guitar Center getting slapped and hammered by a bunch of kids after school for a month!

NEW PROBLEM! thanks for the great advice guys [Thumbs Up] , but over the summer we had 2 consecutive days of 44ºC days (112ºF) and I do not have a case for it. So it's leaned up against the wall like my acoustics and with the Bass, it warped alot. All strings are lying on the fretboard [Mad] Acoustics are still fine. Might have to take it to a pro now.

If you have to lean stringed instruments against a wall, you face them toward the wall.

You may have a twisted neck and/or uneven frets.
