Wanted to post this here as there have been many threads regarding Guitar Center woes and issues dealing with them. I have been looking for a used SR special for about a year. Never found anything that was in my price range that was what I considered a "decent buy" for my situation. Then recently, I stumbled upon this beautiful bass in the "used' section of GC. It was produced in May 2022, and was sitting for sale at the GC north of San Diego. I was concerned about buying something sight unseen, and had my GC issues as there is one 7miles from my house. The bass was a year young and listed for $1800 and change. I decided to take a chance and called the store. Everyone I spoke with was pleasant and extremely helpful, down to taking additional pictures and describing the bass. The bass was packed in its original hard shell case professionally. It arrived in 5 days after a cross country trip and there is not a scratch, ding or even a smear on it. It is impeccable. I plugged it in and no scratchy pots, bad Pre-amp or any electrical problems. Tuners, bridge were spot on. Relief was excellent, low action and the bass played absolutely beautifully right out of the case. The neck is phenomenal.
I am pleasantly surprised and have to tip my hat to the GC personnel in CA. I have been a nay sayer in the past about GC and their customer service, but this time they hit it out of the park. I signed up for the card and they knocked another 10% off. So I now own my very first SR special, a year old, flawless, for $1730. Very satisfied.
