Have you checked around town? That GC on - what is it - 635? - generally has a pretty good selection of MusicMan basses.

But if you just want to travel, there's always Bass Central in Florida or DuBaldo's Music up near the Arctic Circle.

Okay, I hate to give this up because I wanted it, but I can't afford it so here it goes...

There's a Guitar Center in Phoenix that has a 30th Anniversary Stingray for approx $1100, and if you want the Anniversary case it's an extra $100. Freakin great price and the bass plays super nice. They put new strings on it a week ago. And yes this bass is "new old stock".

Hello and welcome, you have already had most of these suggested but since I to am in the Dallas area, here goes my suggestions for you.

As Jack said the GC on 635 and Welch in North Dallas, pretty decent stock, if you go there, ask for Robbie, the platinum room manager, he will take good care of you.

Also the GC at 75 and Southwestern has a very good stock of basses, if you go there ask for Eddie.

Then there is The Perfect Bass in Baton Rogue, check out thier website, great selection and Brandt is who you want to talk to.

And if you really want to take a trip go see Pete and Nick DuBaldo up in CT. Great dudes and where I buy most of my guitars.

And last Bass Central, only heard good things about them.

Lots of choices so good luck in your quest

30th SR4

Wait, are we still talking about guitar shops here, or ... ahem ... gentlemen's clubs? Serendipity on the main stage!

Not to slight any of the other dealers, but since you can travel for free, Bass Central in Orlando has just over a gazillion EBMM basses. Check with Beaver, Grasshopper, Birddog, Skillet or Scoobie. Ok just kidding - Beaver or Grasshopper though, for real.
