GC Prize?????

[Ampeg SVT]

Today there was this awesome Musicman Stingray HH for get this $989.99 brand new
apparently a tiny chip on the headstock warrants a $400 price drop!!!
Should I jump on it before the sale ends?

 

[EpicSoundtracks]

sounds like a deal.

 

[Ampeg SVT]

It shall be mine tomorrow

Good score! Make sure they give you the case with it for free!

 

[Zooberwerx]

Make sure it comes with hardcase and all the goodies! One headstock chip = $400 discount? Works for me. So we'll be seeing pics tomorrow evening, eh?

Riis

 

[Ampeg SVT]

Good man, I wanna hear your take on it. I liked the one I played!

DON'T DO IT!!!

Now where was that GC located? I'll be right there.

So is it $989.99 before the $400 discount or after? Seems like a good price but with a chip in it you should see if they would go down a bit more. The cost they paid for that is probably around 750 or so. Either way probably a sick bass.

No, they probably paid about $500 or so. I would tell you to try and get it for $850, or as close to it as possible. A good argument point is its resell value to you, odds are you won't be keeping it forever and the chip will devalue it (As they already know).

I picked it up and man those that thing kill. IT does the Stingray thing and more.
Here are the pics before you say no pics no bass.

Oh and i tried negotiating but it didnt work even though I knew the sales rep.

 

[The BurgerMeister]

good score!!!

 

[Yankeesfan1115]

where's the chip?

 

[Ampeg SVT]

Its right here

Nothing really bad actually

 

[Bass Mule]

Dude, make your bed.

...and set the correct date on your camera too.


Btw, nice score.

 

[Ampeg SVT]

I have no idea how to set the date on the camera, and the bed, well ITS NOT ABOUT THE BED

Edit: Nevermind the date was quite easy to set.

i got a similar deal on my bongo 5 HH, 949 + tax. i tried to bargain too but the guy told me that was bone cost, probably same for you. either way you got a great deal, you were wise to take advantage while it was still there. awesome bass!

 

[Ampeg SVT]

Thats exactly what the guy told me, he said that it wasnt really his decision and that it was the "Higher ups" decisions, at least he said their rules were silly.

 

[Snarf]

IIRC, Musicman doesn't have a very high markup. Pretty sure you got that for cost. Sometimes if a bass has been in the store for a long time, they'll blow it out at cost to put something new on the wall.

 

[Ampeg SVT]

The odd thing about that is that the Musicman was only there for about a month and they were blowing it out, and they raised the normal price to $1600 so i saved over $600.

Some of the older stuff wasnt blown out oddly, they had several Musicmans that were quite old (ones without compensated nuts) without discounts.
