Talking An Oddity In GC's Advertising:::

I saw this posting about a 'Fender' bass guitar and it somehow caught my eye.

Quote:
Fender Affinity Jazz Bass Pack (USED004000 0301675006)

Fender Affinity Jazz Bass Pack Blemished - Like New

That great traditional J Bass look and sound on a budget.

Guaranteed Lowest Price: $260.99 ~ Top Rated

....and the lines blur even more.

Not that I'm complaining since now my Affinity Bass is worth a lot more --- either because they don't make them any more (rarer) or it's a misprint on my headstock (like a misprint on a stamp) or it was a secret Fender one-off project that makes them a prototype and more valuable to collectors.

Probably a typo. I doubt you'll get a Fender at GC for $260.99, unless it comes without a neck!

The Squier starter packs are normally sold under the Fender name rather than Squier. I think the amp is a Rumble 15 or something, so they count it as a "Fender" product. But the bass in there is a plain old Squier Affinity.
