Pour les non anglophones, le gars a remarqué des petits trous dans une contrebasse chinoise de son école, de la sciure par terre et a réussi a choper une bestiole. Dans la suite du post il nous apprend que la bestiole en question n'est pas la bienvenue au states (mise en quarantaine de l'objet recomand? par l'administration agricole, ce qu'il avait fait dès le début)Hey all,
So I've got this Chinese-made bass that I bought for my students to use at school, and recently found small holes (1/8" diameter) in the next as well as some wood dust underneath it. Initially I was worried about Asian Longhorned Beetle and turned in the bug corpses to the USDA, but our local Dept. of Agriculture bug specialists said it's not...rather, some sort of nautical borer. Needless to say, I've isolated the bass (as of last week), and found another hole and bug today. To my eye, it looks like these guys were in the wood to begin with and hatched/bored their way out with the warmth of summer.
Think I should call the company that imports them and demand a replacement bass? The neck now has 6 holes in it, in various spots...
Ca fait froid dans le dos ! Est ce que l'un d'entre vous a d?ja été confront? au problème ?
