    unbelievable GC prices

    Hey guys I took another trip to my local guitar center in Durham, NC and I saw some never taken out of the store stingrays and sterlings for HALF OFF

    Im talking 800 dollar stingrays. I was almost tempted to cancel my bongo and get a stingray and sterling.
    The Assistant manager told me they have only sold once since opening in 2006.

    Scored another Natural 4 H Ray from Raleigh GC today! $900 out the door! She is a little beat up but her MOJO is intact and after some new strings, a set of Dunlops, and a really good setup she is good to go...I played her for about 6 hours today and she is a player for sure! Just alive feeling and very responsive. Can't wait to play her tomorrow night and the rest of the week along with my Ice Blue SR5!!!

    Peace,

    I'm heading to both the Durham and Raleigh GC's on the 13th, hopefully there will still be some good gear left at those prices. Stopped into the GC in Greensboro on Sunday and everything was still full price; I've been there every weekend for the last three weeks to see if they had any MM deals.

    On the plus side, they have three BFR All Rosewood Neck basses (couple of Stingrays and a Sterling) that are absolutely fantastic. They've been there for almost a year and no one has taken them home.

    Remember guys, even if your local GC doesn't have what you are looking for, I can have these clearance basses shipped to your house. Getting one now will give you better selection, shorter delivery time, and less hassle. I would order ASAP and get it way before Christmas. Even better, if you decide to get one soon, I will personally track down whatever bass I can find to be in the best condition. Many of these basses have multiples, so you could end up getting a better bass! Get help now before I get swamped. And just to let you guys know, you got the info first. Starting next week the EBMM clearance campaign goes public, so the sooner you hit me up, the better!
