Insane deal for the southpaws......

Sign in to disble this ad
i haven't had very good luck ordering from amazon, but this is sold by music123 and is the most ridiculous deal i've seen on a bass in quite some time. A Tribute L2000 for $80???

HOLY CRAP!! I'm tempted to buy one and set it up for right handed playing! Well...the knobs would be in the way. I could buy one and part it out!

I bought one. I may part it out, or use it as trade bait. BTW, that was shipped FREE!

Yeah, I would have parted it anyway. They had the Warwick LH 5string Jazzman for $850 last night too, was going to buy it just for the preamp and one of the knobs then sell it but didn't pull the trigger in time.

Damn that is most definitely the craziest price I've seen yet on Amazon. Totally worth it for the pick ups alone. I wish I would have been up and reading TB at 7am pst this morning.

UPDATE!

On Wednesday, I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of my smokin' deal. UPS pulls up and swings the back door of the truck open. He pulls down 3 big boxes. OH BOY!!!! NBDx3! Turns out, 2 of the boxes had ATK's (woot!) and one had only a G&L gigbag!

The invoice in the box was for (1) G&L gigbag, nothing more. I kept calm and sent an email through Amazon stating that I ordered a bass that comes WITH a gigbag (per the description) and not simply a gigbag. I didn't "frag'' them yet. I got this response:

I do apologize about the situation of you not receiving your bass guitar.
How ever per the inconvenience we are going to go ahead and npr out a brand new one too you.
we will also be doing a trace on the missing bass to find out what happened to it. The new order
number for your bass will be as the following # S03971970
Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns, or if you are not completely satisfied with the service you have received from us today. We appreciate your feedback.

There is no way I am spending 79.00 for a gigbag! It's funny, I know...

If it sounds too good to be true.....

That's like the The $$ German Warwick Amazon had online for an insanely cheep price. If you read the reviews someone ordered one and received a $$ Rockbass instead. They were not happy, and Amazon has not yet changed their product description.

They told me there was no way they could offer it at that price. They offered a 15% discount. I declined and asked for a refund on the gigbag. They told me to keep the bag and gave me a refund.
