Is that Markbass LMII still marked $679 there? I've mentioned the wrong price to the sales people there several times and they just don't want to listen. |

I have been meaning to check out some gear in Natick too, the Millbury location doesn't have squat, and Natick often has better stuff than the Comm Ave location...
It'd be cool to have a GTG at a GC and take over the bass section.... |

They get stuff from all over the East Coast that is open box, no power cord or supply, missing knobs or manuals and they usually throw in a couple of killer deals. Last year they had $10 amps (only 3), but lots of other stuff for home studios, cheap.
I do not know about the price on the Markbass amp, but it seems as though they are stocking a lot more Markbass than they previosly did.

It would be cool to have a GTG and have every bass in the place off the wall being played, maybe we could all make sure we knew the same bassline and did one of those most bass players playing the same bass line at the same time.

Maybe $451 for a Warwick corvette or $623 for a Mobbius?
That's how it was differant from any other day.

Did anyone pick up one of the Flea Basses (~1200) or the NT Thumb 5's (~1300). I couldn't believe the price on those |

I wish I had noticed this thread earlier - the Natick store was selling DR strings for $10-15 last Labor Day so you never know with them.

Still worked out pretty good. |
