So what was the best deal you got in 05?

Best bass deal I got this year was a 1978 Ric for $550 or a Euro neck through spector for $350.

Any other great deals? I remember the 499 bongos or something crazy like that.

Two good deals....

The first: I got a cheapo Steinberger 5-string new from MusicYo.com for $280. Well I went to Sam Ash to trade in for a Fender Jazz Standard, figuring if I get $100 bucks for it I would be happy............Sam Ash gave me $260 for it! Now that is a good deal! The really funny thing is I went back to the store a week later, they had it for sale for $315....more then I paid new!

The Second: I just got a great deal on a new Fender Geddy Lee Jazz from BassCentral. They are having a clearance sale right now, so there are great deals to be found if you ask.....

Some guy in Indiana sold me a near-mint condition Streamer LX 4. Also got hold of a David King headless 5 and Elrick NJS 5 from fellow TBers.

Its been a good year.

Bought a used, but MINT Yamaha RBX-170 for < 1/2 the price of one new ($AU 170 to my door). Best price in the shops, $AU 380. I threw on some new strings (D'Add XL-170), set her up, shielded the cavity, did a series mod, put on some nice chrome knobs...and she's my main playing bass at the moment...

Not a bass (well bass guitar anyway), but a few weeks ago I scored a Moog Taurus bass pedal synth for $100 plus some traded-in pedals (sticker price was $399, these things go on ebay for like $1500-2000.)

Just amps, I don't buy basses anymore. I can't resist a cool cheap amp. Monetarily, this one wins for me this past year:

Mesa Boogie D-180 with road case, $250 - at Guitar Center!
