Keep the pics coming..:D Even though my order for a back-ordered GK combo got cancelled, at least I had some skin in the game... Not all is lost, after my order was cancelled, I contacted GC, and they came back with their lowest price for the amp if I still wanted it... I decided to go for...

A couple of minutes ago I got a nearly identical offer that I have 10 days to consider. It's backordered till then anyway. This must be a nightmare for GC cust service, but it seems if you've got an issue with them cancelling your order, they might be willing to step up to some extent... At...

I submitted a ticket to inquire why the order was cancelled, and got a response about a glitch that allowed multiple coupons. I then submitted a response to that. More later, maybe.

Just received order-cancelled email for a backordered GK MB210..total discount was only 290.

I hope so, I have only one item, one order (only the first 3 coupons used for 50% off). So far I have: 1. GC Email confirming order. 2. Order status "approved" on GC site at the discounted amount. 3. GC backorder notification email. 4. Nothing posted to credit card. For those who got...

4 is enough for me, count me in. Long ago, me and my guitarist buddy bumped into a friend whose band was playing that night at the club, they asked if we wanted to sit in for a few tunes. Their bassist had a 5-string (which I didn't notice until we were on stage and it was in my hands and...

Bass 1: Guild Pilot, not mine, borrowed for the last 10 years. Cost = $0.00. Bass 2: MIM Jazz just got off ebay for $200. My first bass since I sold my old one 15 years ago, and that was a $120 Fernandes P-copy. Amp 1: Mesa Combo with ext cab, not mine, borrowed for the last 10 years...

I got a cheap soprano Uke last summer, best 50 bucks I ever spent...Got one for the kids at the same time. Love the Uke! Just fool around with it and all kinds of chords and tunes start popping out of it. Be careful, it can be addictive. Also sometimes do an occasional mandolin track...

I think I'll go with this and just take #2593 based on my first post! Thanks! -Jim

Greetings fellow Pilot People! I've been playing this one for years, although I guess it actually still "belongs" to my buddy who converted to acoustic/lead vocals years back, and I've never actually "bought" it from him. Not sure of the year. Awesome player!! Since posession is 9/10 of the...

Here's what I play: Unfortunately I don't technically own this stuff, I've just been using it for the past 4 or 5 years. The rig belongs to my guitar player (he's a serious gear hound), and the bass belongs to the singer (used to play some bass, but now plays acoustic.) Lucky me! A little on...

Thanks, I had an even bigger "happy face" when I first plugged it into my rig at rehearsal..:D I thought I was taking a chance on a half decent backup bass, but this will be my main player now. Here's another shot, it's tough to get a good shot of the artwork, the graphics appear and...

I'd like to join the club with this, even if I have to wait a while for a number... Ebay $200 bucks, total impulse bid in the last seconds:eek:, arrived this week! ~2001 MIM Custom metallic orange/gold flake with skulls! A deep cleaning and good setup later, and this thing played and sounded...

Hi, Just joined TB, and I think a found the club for me. For 20 years I've been somewhere between "that didn't suck too bad this time" and "sounded ok, man".. "Lessons" = the first verse. "Practice" = the second verse. Number Please! -Jim

New backup! $200 bucks off Ebay last week! 2001 MIM Jazz with custom paint job..with skulls... (they're subtle). Deep-cleaned the grunge off, did a full set-up, and voila! Played it at rehearsal last night, plays and sounds great!:cool: Link Removed
