I was in there last night killing some time.

They were marking them WAY down.

But, I'm broke.

So, I came home empty handed. :(

But, if you are in the area, check 'em out!

Thanks for the tip RichieDarling.

I went over first thing sunday morning for a look. Yeah, a few nice Stingrays and 5'er. Most were horribly set up (I think that black/maple must have been a return; it had non EB strings and worst setup EVER haha) but the selection was excellent, though the newest ones weren't visibly discounted! Anyway, it was a fun trip.

At risk of a hijack, let me just say the the best 'MM' bass I played this morning was by far this Honeyburst 'Sterling by Musicman" SBMM Ray34. Now granted, it was fresh out of the box, perfectly set up with zingy strings, but the wood grain on the body was immaculate and nicely matched, the neck actually had some birdseye in the maple grain (the light finish is very close in feeling to that of the oiled EBMM's), and the fingerboard was a beautiful red/brown, nicely figured Rosewood. I would have bought it on the spot, but I already have a black one.... Not all the SBMM's were that beautiful, but this was a gem. Nice job BP and PP!

Now go clean out GC- (and discreetly bring your own truss wheel adjuster with you for sure- if you actually want to play any).

There was a Sterling HS there. In natural with a maple board. It was missing a knob and the little plastic deely-bobber on the switch.

But, it was a beauty..... With a little TLC it will make someone a happy camper!

And I am still broke! heheheheheh :D
