If I needed one, I'd be all over this but it gets me wondering if I should pull the trigger anyways!

Just checked it out. Its a tribute, price is meh

Even for a tribute that's a great deal and if you combine it with their first time buyer coupon of $25 off (HM2515OFF) you can pick one up for $304 plus shipping!

I screwed up for some reason I thought is was 629. That is a good deal

Reaper Man · #5 12-10-2012, 12:14 PM

yea, pretty good deal. May end up jumping on this one...

Marko5657 · #6 12-10-2012, 02:57 PM

Yeah, they seem to be $425/450 elsewhere.

Had to email G&L about the weight. I was gawking at this one, too.
Anybody know what these weigh?

Use coupon code "xmas50" for $50 off, bringing it to $279 (+$18 shipping for me). I don't need this, but it's tough not to pull the trigger.

Differences between the JB2 and JB-2...this is getting confusing!

BadJazz · #10 12-10-2012, 06:30 PM

Just bought one. DAMN TALKBASS!

Holy ****, you're right, and shipping is free. $279! Damnit I bought it an hour ago with a different code and paid $305.

BadJazz · #12 12-11-2012, 05:11 PM

My roommate just bought the last one. $279 with shipping.

Also, big props to Hello Music. I emailed them about the XMAS50 code and Colleen wrote back that they will refund the difference. Great customer service.

Let us know how you like them, all who purchased. I want to know how hard to kick myself, if at all.

BadJazz · #15 12-12-2012, 05:01 PM

They have more now. $279 shipped. At least for me. My roommate tried to buy one and they kept adding shipping, so I bought it for him.

rizzo9247 · #16 12-12-2012, 08:13 PM

Added $46 to ship...no thanks

basementwaste · #17 12-13-2012, 12:00 AM

Not sure whats up with them and their random shipping prices. I've seen $46 and $18. But more often $46. Not sure how it decides for who or when to do the free shipping. I haven't seen it yet.

Still an excellent price even with the $46 shipping if you were looking to get that bass in that color with the maple fretboard. But not good enough to jump on it when I don't really need it.

Andy_D · #18 12-13-2012, 11:03 PM

They got more in. I bought one for $279, but they added $32 for shipping. Not bad though. I didn't NEED one but I wanted it for sure. It will most likely replace my VM Jazz as my go to jazz bass. I'm a sucker for deals.

**dcgoodwin2112** · #19 12-17-2012, 03:02 PM

I ordered one a couple days ago. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of the coupon code at the time, but $347 shipped is still not a bad deal at all.

BadJazz · #20 12-27-2012, 06:44 PM

Took two weeks. I am beyond impressed by this deal.

Mine's on the left, roommate's on the right. This thing absolutely CRUSHES the Affinity J I bought new last year. (Got the whole beginner pack for $140 new.)
