Talking WOAH! $450 American Standard Jazz Bass!

So, I wanted to buy myself a new bass after 5 years of playing, so I decided to set my eyes on a Fender American Standard Jazz bass. I went to a few stores, tried some basses out and I really liked the Fender. So, I went on the internet and snooped around for a bit. Then on Musician's Friend I found the very same Jazz Bass I was playing at the store. But, for $450 dollars. So yeah. I bought it. It happens to be that this particular finish on the bass was 900 dollars off compared to the rest, 100 dollars off.

I think they may have messed it up... Who knows though.

I'm reminded of the "Monopoly" card: "Bank error in your favor."

It wouldn't allow the 4th of July coupon code for me, but the deal was sweet enough to not bugger around too much. I jumped on that ish!

Thanks again, OP. You're that dude!

Typo. Let's see if they honor it. They are losing a couple hundred bucks per bass.

That said I didnt mess around with trying to get more off, I ordered one at 450$ at 1:52 pm. I plan on getting it to , thats the price they advertised-I dont need some bait and switch tactic.

Oh wow, it really is on back order. Good thing I ordered last night. I'm glad everyone got a great deal on this thing though, haha.

The email confirmation on mine says it will ship in 24-48. It was definitely "in stock" status when I was looking at it.

But yeah, we'll have to see what happens...

Yeah, if it sounds too good to be true then it usually is. Either way I ordered one and got confirmation so we'll see what happens.
