Amazon.com: PRS KE4BL SE Kestrel Bass Guitar, Black: Musical Instruments

The black PRS SE Kestrel is $410.47. I've never even seen one, but my guess is this is a great deal. Probably quite close to Skyline quality for $400.

MTD Kingston Bass Guitar Z 6 String, Maple Fingerboard, Transparent Cherry Amazon.com: MTD Kingston Bass Guitar Z 6 String, Maple Fingerboard, Transparent Cherry: Musical Instruments

Why, I ask, did no one in the entire WORLD buy this ONE MTD Kingston Z 6 Translucent Cherry that was available at this price? They only had one.... 6 Billion people... 60% off retail... this was out there, all day.

So, after hoping someone else would snag it, after seeing it still there every time I came back to the computer, I bought this for $781. Normally $1400 everywhere I look, and $800+ used.

I figure I can always sell it for about what I paid without too much trouble.

Now I have a 6!

Here's some nice pictures of what my new bass will look like:

Damn all 6 billion of you for not buying this before I couldn't help myself.

We accept such damnation in the spirit in which it was intended....enjoy that bass!

Cool bass and good deal!

Three years ago I watched these drop on Amazon to about the same price, so I jumped on it. It was a sunburst with maple board 6 string. It arrived with a broken off truss rod nut so I sent it back and they sent another. The second arrived with bad electronics, so I called Amazon and they said it was the last one. I said I really wanted this bass at the price I got it for so they advised me to keep until the next shipment came in (as it was expected soon.) A month or so later a new one arrived at my door that was in perfect condition so I sent the one with bad electronics back. When I got my credit card bill, they had refunded me for the bass I sent back, leaving me with a 6 string MTD Z6 in hand for nothing. Can never figure Amazon out....but I won't complain about their deals at times.

I have had that happen more than once with them. And it always involved the same type of scenario where they shipped me a replacement before I returned the original one. One time was a drum kit that came in 2 boxes, but they only shipped one. They re-ordered and said if I got both boxes, just send the first one back, and if the reorder just sent the box I was missing, let them know and we'd be done. I'd also paid for overnight shipping (Prime for $3.99) because it was for a birthday that weekend, which is one reason they bent over backwards to fix it I think. Well, the replacement came and was again just 1 box...and not the one I needed. They told me to keep one again, and return the other. So I sent the other back and they reordered again. They got the return back and refunded my card. I called and told them that was wrong and they shouldn't refund me, so the re-charged me. Next shipment came in 2 boxes like it was supposed to. They told me to ship the other box back, so I did, and said to make sure I wasn't refuned again...said they made a note on the order. When they received it, they refunded my card AGAIN. I was through dealing with it at that point, so the drum kit was free.

Then there was the time Musician's Friend sent me two SKB roto rack cases when I only ordered one. I called and told them, they sent me a call tag to return the extra. Returned it, they refunded me. Called them and they thanked me for telling them and that they'd correct it. They never did. Free case.

Item unavailable immediately after I ordered so I guess they really did have just one. Must be the last one from a production batch or something, clearing warehouse space.

Thank you for buying that before I did!
I think you got a maple fretboard by the way

You're welcome... I guess. You really should have saved me from this fate.

Yes, true, maple fretboard. These were the only handy pictures of the translucent cherry finish. No photos provided on the amazon product link for this bass.
