Fender Fridays At Musicians Friend

Discussion in 'Hot Deals' started by ashtray, Jul 31, 2009.

  1. Every Friday Musicians Friend is doing a CALL IN special on one Fender item. Usually it's a decent cut in price - they announce what the deal is at 7am EST (you have to call in to find out). If it's a very hot deal, the guys on the east coast get the jump on it, and it could be sold out by the time the west coast guys wake up.

    Today's deal *was* a Jaguar bass (any color) AND a free B-DEC30 amp together for $499! I say "was", b/c after a few hours, they ended the deal. This was the first time they had a bass on sale for the Friday call-in special.

    (I think they messed up - putting the bass on sale, not realizing it came with a free amp on the webpage - so they changed the deal to a Strat for sale instead.)

    Anyone interested in a Fender product, give MF a call every Friday morning to find out what's the deal. You snooze, you lose!

    i ordered one today at about 10:30 central time, and to my knowledge, they are still selling the same deal, just dont let em tell you it doesn't come with the amp, tell em you know it does. i just called to make sure they didnt charge me full price, and sure enough, 499.99 for fender jag bass (hot rod red) with bdec amp. i know they are still selling because she was trying to sell it to me until i told her i had already purchased and was just confirming. foreal, you cant get a better deal than this, dont let it go... i even think my dad bought one in olympic white. hhahah. :D

    The bass/BDEC are still going for $599 if you add them to your cart.

    darn, I missed it. Been gassing for a jag for a hwhile.
     
  7. Btw - Musicians Friend has 15% off call in now too - code "15 done" I think. And yes, the Jaguar bass has gone on clearance for $599 with the free amp.. If you combine the 15% off, then you get both for $510! (only $10 more than the call in special yesterday morning)

    This is a heck of a deal - would be very tempted if I didn't already have a Jag, and if I needed another bass.

    Can you confirm the code? I tried "MINE" yesterday, but it was expired...(it was 2 am afterall).

    edit: Nevermind, I called in!

    Use the code "15 done", like ashtray said, and get 15% off...even with the free gift deal! Grand total: $509.99...Olympic white Jag and BDEC will be on my doorstep by the end of next week! Thanks ashtray for the tipoff!

    You guys were lucky. I tried to get the 15% off, and they wouldn't do it with the amp. I didn't want the amp and the hastles of trying to sell it, so I took the bass for $509. It's still an OK deal, I think.

    It was a usual thing for the month of July. Not so sure it is continuing through August. The deals were call-in-only deals. Nothing on the web reflected the deals. I picked up a few great items throughout the month, but only one bass.

    Sell it to GC :bag:
    Haggle and see if they'll give you $200...afterall, they're selling them for $299.

    Or, hang out at GC every day...hide in the shadows by the bass amps...wait for someone to come in who wants to buy the BDEC...whisper "Pssst...hey buddy. I got your amp here for $100 less"...profit!

    I just got off the phone with MF and I have a black Jaguar on the way thanks to this thread!

    I really wanted white but those were gone, so I stopped by a music store on the way home hoping to be able to check out black and HRR to help me decide on color. They only had a black one, but it looked and played great! It was Crafted in Japan and the guys in the store said that they have only seen CIJ Jaguars. When I got home I still hadn't decided between HRR and black, so I flipped a coin and black won.

    I had called three times today to try and get 15% off, but the best deal that I could get was 10% off and the first person that I spoke to wouldn't come down at all from $599.99. It ended up being $539.99 shipped with a B-DEC. That is still a pretty screaming deal!

    BTW-Do these come with a gig bag?

    Pretty sure no gig-bag. But I won't mind if one happens to show up :)
    Congrats on the Jag. Sounds like they're getting stricter with their discounts...

    Thanks! I'm really looking forward to it.

    I tried the "15 Done" discount code, but I was told that "15 Done" is a code that is used when MF screws up an order and they take off 15% as a way to make up for it.
