Many basses to choose from

jmattis · #1 10-19-2009, 08:20 AM

Here's the deal-

I recently purchased a bass from Bass Club Chicago, sight unseen. When I received it, I realized it wasn't for me and returned it. Unfortunately, they don't do refunds, so I've got a $1300 credit with them, and no real interest in any other bass.

If anyone's interested in one of their basses, I'm offering up a $1300 credit for $1100.

They've got-

2 band EQ Stingray, Sterling 5, SR HH, SR
G&L 1505, ASAT, 1500
Lakland Skyline JO5, 44-02, DJ4
Fender Marcus Miller Jazz, Road Worn 50s P, RW 60s J, Geddy Lee
A few Bill Nash Basses
Elrick ExPat NJS5
Godin A4 fretless
Spector Euro 5 LX (used)
Paul Reed Smith 4 (used)
Warrior 7 String (used)
as well as others from NS Design, Drozd, Ritter, F Bass, Smith, MTD, Sadowsky, Warwick, and Zon

PM me with any thoughts. Hopefully this is cool in this forum.

Would you be willing to trade?

PM'ed

No one just wants a $1300 Bass Club Chicago credit for a reduced rate?

I've made some inquiries on their PRS. I'm waiting for pics. Thanks for the heads-up. Rick

shame they don't take refunds, seems a bit uncompetitive to stay in business. Good luck with your sale. Free 100$ bump

jmattis · #7 10-28-2009, 01:48 PM

No problem. Definitely send me a message if you're going to pick it up and want another $100 off.

Thanks guys!

It also looks like they'll work with us on shipping so it doesn't have to go from Chicago to me to you. Just Chicago to you.

No refunds. That's why I wouldn't shop there

I played that PRS bass over the summer when I was in chicago. Needed to be cleaned up, but had a lot of potential. The 4 th phantom coil on the back of the bass was pretty cool.

jmattis · #10 11-06-2009, 10:29 AM

price drop bump!

aspdevboy · #11 11-11-2009, 03:53 PM

great idea! somebody will come along..

christw · #12 11-12-2009, 11:40 AM

I'd take you up on this if I wasn't selling my basses!

Free good luck bump.

jmattis · #13 11-13-2009, 01:33 PM

Thanks guys! I think its just a bad time to be selling a bass. Seems nothing is selling lately.

tedantle · #14 11-29-2009, 10:27 AM

Always thought the Chicago Bass Club was a high on prices. Good selection, but high. Too bad. He could get some good press here if he was a little more flexible. Very surprised HE would not give you $1100 back. Brutal.

Any business that does not offer refunds (unless it was a special order) is a business that is barely keeping it's doors open, or a business that is shady in it's business practice. I would never do business with a business like that. Good Luck on your credit.

Can you PM me if this is still available? Thanks!

Surprised Mark wouldn't refund. I trust that he made that clear when you bought it?

Anyway, there's some FANTASTIC stuff there, I'd do this but I'm nowhere near in the market for gear. Best of luck with this transaction.
