3 Deals at MF - VM Tele - $200, M2000 GTS - $449, FMP Jazz - $349

for 200 i had to give the tele a shot. been thinking about a medium scale bass for a while.

 

I bought an M2000 in Honeyburst as the SDoTD awhile back and it did not disappoint...a very nice instrument. i heard there was some quality problems with some people and i was a little hesitant. But fit and finish was beautiful out of the box on mine. You get a lot for your money with G&L Tributes

 

I just returned my AFB200 to GC, and they price matched the 199 on the Tele bass in black. Should have it next week

 

G&L is hot.

 

Just bought the Telecaster. I wanted the Blonde but it's not on sale. A recent print catalog shows the Blonde for 199.99.

 

Blond is on sale for 199 at MF Sat Jan 10

 

I picked up one of these Affinity Precisions on sale for 149:

The plan was to use it to test some electronics changes prior to modding my more expensive basses. However, it's a great bass for the money. There are only two issues I can find: a bit of fret sprout, and the tuners are the closed-back variety with the small tuning pegs.

Honestly, it's all you really need. Well, and an amp.
