GC Black Friday Finds

[silverburst]

So I went to the GC sale here in Tucson (where my in-laws live) and picked up this used gem for 20% off. What did you guys find, if anything?

 

[Jimmyb]

Nice one!!

Should I be lusting after a fretless? I can't play the guitar, so God knows how awful I'd be on a blank plank...

 

[high mileage]

I thought used stuff wasn't included in the deal. Oh well... Great find though!

 

[MrMusashi]

that would be the radiance red color?

MrM

 

[SteveB]

MrM

Or is it Lava Pearl?

The LGC (local Guitar Center) kept the 20% off deal all day. But still the MMs were all there (along with the Warwicks and Fenfers). Nobody was buying the $1K and up instruments but the usual suspects (soccer moms and doting dads w/ kids) were all over the entry level pieces.

Oh and nobody played Higher Ground.

Oh and nobody played Higher Ground.

That's a great song, RHCP.......................

 

[silverburst]

I think it might be fire engine red. Hell of a deal.

Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still Lava Pearl to me...

Silver, you got a serial #? I can check it for you real quick...

Cool fretless. Icky PG.

Most of the GC purchases I saw were lower level guitars. However, I did see someone buy a beautiful Gibson Gold Top and I congratulated him.

A beauty! But PLEASE change the pickguard. Sliced bowling ball makes me ill.

Hi Beth

It's E48489.

Ok Mark -- what color do you think? The bass is a little more red than showing in the pic.

I'm thinking tort.

 

[Lync]

Very nice-tort seems right to me.

 

[Oldtoe]

Black, Rex. Or Black Pearloid.

Maybe sequins.

 

[smallequestrian]

I actually like the pickguard on that bass, its one of the few applications where I think that works well.

With red, a white pearl or black would look nice.

 

[TSanders]

rex, looks great.

I think its lava pearl. Tort that thing.

 

[silverburst]

I want it to be red, but I guess it could be lava pearl. But I want it to be red...

 

[Beth]

OK, Rex.

E48489 is a StingRay 3EQ in RADIANCE RED, fretless unlined matching, black ice pickguard. Alas, you get your wish!
