About to go burn GC

No offense, but payments on a bass that's less than $350? In this situation, how much is too much down?
Nope, why pay interest when you've got a layaway function? I have the funds to pay for it straight out, but I like to dip a 20 here, a 50 there. Keeps the wife from catching on..
I didn't want to put down half. IIRC, GC's policy on layaways is 10%, and 30 days to pay if off, not 50% and 2 weeks. It would have cost me $175 pre-tax to put it on layaway.
By comparison, I put $75 down on my ATK ($249 used) and had 30 days to pay it off.
I feel I should mention that I use money from gigs to pay for stuff. If I have a few gigs worth of cake in my pocket, cool. If I know I'm gonna be playing every weekend for the next month, then I use the layaway function.
I meant putting it on a credit card and then paying it off when the bill was due 30 days later. Sorry, didn't know you were playing fiscal games with the wife.

ROFL, it's not a "fiscal game", it's called hiding my spending addiction.
GC has a policy on there instruments. If you buy an instrument and within 30 days later you see it for a lower price they will give you your money back I believe. Here read this
