The GOOD News:
I used a Guitar Center promotion to buy a G-K MB500 online for $399.
Yay for me!!!
The BAD News:
I keep getting "Out of Stock" emails from GC explaining that although they are currently out of stock, more are on order. And as soon as they receive new stock, my order will ship.
Been over three weeks now.
Are MB500s THAT popular?

Shoot me a PM with your order info and I can look into it on Monday and see if I can't find one somewhere for you sooner.

Peace,

And, as my name says...I'm not the average GC associate...I'm just a bassist trying to make a living

If you figure anything out to get them sooner, please let me know. I don't have any other bass amps, so I've been stuck playing guitar lately. |

Not your average GC manager. | | Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Chicago, IL | | | Made some calls and it looks like the tentative date from GK to us having them in stock - roughly 80 of them - is April 6th. Backorders will be filled up first, but then it sounds like there will be about another 50 or 60 that are available.
I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens once April rolls around. If I catch wind of anything before then, I'll let everybody know.

Great deal, too good to pass up, but the backorder date keeps getting pushed back and back and back.... Any info you have, xjeremiahx, would be greatly appreciated. Do you get paid by GC for TB customer service provided? Cause you should!

Not your average GC manager. | | Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Chicago, IL | | | @BigGuns, we get em in bulk shipments, they made mention of having a bunch on backorder...something around 30 orders waiting to be filled...so those will be fulfilled with the next shipment of around 80...
As far as the 212 goes...I have literally never seen them in stock. Ever.

My Guitar Center manager had me order it from GC.com as he said they never get them in stock in-store normally .
If it matters, I used the "ship to store" option. |

Not your average GC manager. | | Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Chicago, IL | | every weekend, we generally have some sort of coupon for a sale. they are talking about one that was $100 off if you spent $499 or more. You can sign up @ Guitars, Musical Instruments, and Musical Equipment from Guitar Center to get the promotions & stuff. should be a little link on the left hand side. Some coupons are alright, but some are pretty awesome.

I also ordered a TB153 yesterday. I don't think I did too bad for a first bass rig. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
