Talking On the way to get a new Bass!!!

As I type this the wife is driving me to GC to purchase a new Bass! I know my budget and my wife is one hell of a haggler. This looking like a good Christmas.

Beyond all the decorations, holiday songs, holiday parties, and Santa myths, some people still understand the true meaning of Christmas. Not the birth of Christ but awesome presents bought with money.









Just kidding. Merry Christmas brohams.

just before you finalize anything, look your wife in her eyes soulfully and give her a deep kiss....good for a 35% upgrade usually

No windshield pics of you driving to get it, no driving to get the new bass.

You paid 275 unless you used a coupon which I doubt because that's a sale price. How close am I?

GC hasn't haggle price in several years.

I have no idea and I told her I wouldn't look at the account. We did have a personal Xmas budget of 300 or less per person and we left the store with the bass and a new (nice) gig bag to go with it.
