Fender American Standard Jazz @ Guitar Center for $599.99 !!

[Marcus]

I read a thread somewhere in the bass forum earlier from a GC manager mentioning a dramatic sale on certain Fender American Standard Jazz basses. I am not sure how long this sale will last, but I went to the Guitar Center near my school and they did in fact have a brand new Blizzard Pearl Fender American Standard Jazz for $599.99.

I am all set on 4-string basses, otherwise I would have bought it myself. Considering the thing is going for practically half of the regular price ($1150) this is an absolute STEAL.

It is true. I was the OP and the thread was deleted due to it looking like an advertisement for GC since I work there. Tons of other deals too. Good luck!

Well I'm glad I found this. I've been looking through all the other sections because I knew I saw something earlier this afternoon. Just FYI, after I saw your original post, I swung by my local G.C. The cheapest '08 Am. Std. Jazz they had was one on sale for $1019.00 (at least I think that's what it was). At any rate nothing like your store is offering. I just bought an '08 P, or I'd be all over this. I got my P in sunburst, but debated long and hard between it and a Blizzard Pearl. (Sigh...)

My local GC doesn't have that either.
Where and how can I get that super deal exactly?

Which GC was this?

[Supertanker]

I was at GC last night, no deal there...

[Craigster]

Great Deal! I went to the local GC last night after Friscobassace 's heads up and scored a Breedlove abj250 sm4 for 199. w/o case! Guy had to order from another store but should have in my hands Monday! Nice bass GREAT PRICE!!! Can't wait to take to next gig!

[bthrem]

Looks like 'Tanker checked the Cincy store. I checked the Florence store at lunch and nothing special (10% Fender, 15% off Ibanez).

I was just at the store in Bridgeton, Mo. about 1/2 hour ago. They have a new American Standard jazz in black with a maple neck for $629.00(or was it $649.00). Thats still a pretty damn good deal.

[JumboFriendly]

Just picked up one of the BPs from FriscoBassAce's store, so there's one less than before. Can't wait for it to get here. Thanks Wayne!!

No special sale on the Fenders but they did have a Peavey Cirrus BXP for $400 and a Markbass 800 head for $1,200 at the Natick Mass GC.

My local GC in Scottsdale has a Blizzard Pearl as well for 599 semolians.

I went to Guitar Center earlier just to look around for any of these crazy deals. Saw a brand new Bongo HH for something like $550 right when I walked in. Thought I'd walk around and see what else there was before trying it out.

While doing that, I got a phone call from my bass teacher and during the phone call ran into one of the guitarists from my band. Chatted with him a bit, walked over to show him the crazy Bongo price right in time to see another guy grab it and start playing it. That guy played it for a while and ended up buying it. A part of me feels regret, but a larger part of me is grateful -- I really don't need another bass and I probably wouldn't have been able to resist.

I just scored the Blizzard Pearl at the one in Dayton. It was listed at another price. I had to find someone to check it for me. They still had the black and maple for 599.

[jmaestro]

Just called my local guitar center (tallahassee) and no deals.

[bthrem]

Cincy GC has a Blizzard Jazz for $599.

[lindseyp]

El Paso GC had two Peavey Cirrus BXPs for $449 today. Made in China according to the sticker on the headstock reverse, sounded great through the display MB2-500 and 8X10.

He speaks the truth. I just scored an Am Std in Blizzard Pearl w/Rosewood board (no case) for $539 out the door from the GC in Lewsiville, TX.

Thanks Wayne!

[wahman]

Yep, I scored a Blizzard for $599.99 in Houston GC FM 1960. I asked if it had a case and they came out with a new Fender Jazz/Precision case. Not the case it is supposed to come with, but at $599.99? SOLD! Oh by the way I went in looking for a power amp for loud speakers, not even expecting to buy a bass

[EyeH8†]

I wish I could find one of these
