I like (and play) light basses, and that seemed on the porky side to me. As The Big G opined, it was a nice refin..if that's what it is, as no one has seen that finish. The crime of it is that whoever pulled the frets really screwed up. I think this guy got caught up in the "if it's 80's MIJ, it's good" thing. This one isn't.
I just purchased a used bass from GC, and they told me their return policy has changed. It is no longer 30 days, but 14 days.
Any truth to this ?

I don't think so. As far as I know, it's 14 days for recording and DJ equipment.
Instruments have a 30 day return policy. 3 days for vintage.

Flossin'? I thought your name was Munson!
If you use the site to buy CALL THE STORE immediately after. I just lost out on a Lovetone Meatball for $300 because someone called in the day after I paid for it and bought it......words can't describe.....

Needs some cosmetic love, for sure. But if it's in good working shape, that's a heck of a deal!

I bet the employee knew it was sold but wanted the commission so he sold and blamed it on a computer glitch.
No, call them BEFORE you buy it. I have always gotten a discount or at least gotten some strings thrown in.
I always ask for a Veteran's discount & most of the time I get it.
45 only applies to new gear.
When a deal is that killer I shoot first and ask questions later. They should always give you a Veteran's discount.
Some of them claim the Veteran's discount is not available for used gear.
Some even say you have to be active duty.
It's just bad interpretation by the employees.
Yes, I do ask to speak to their manager.
Im pretty sure the sales guy I spoke to was new, he had to get help for a phone sale and shipping.
30 days it is.................I'll know in 30 minutes after it arrives <g>

Sam Ash's policy is that if you return it after 30 days, but before 45 days, they will issue you store credit, but not return your money. I think that is also only for NEW gear.
As I'm digging deeper into this new web ordering BS, it turns out that after you place the order online the store is not even notified of a purchase until a few days later when everything completely clears, during that time no one else can buy it online but anyone can call the store or walk in and buy it. Apparently that's where my Meatball went. It's a shame I can't curse on this website since that leaves me literally no words once again to express this.
Sounds about right. Hopefully the eventual musiciansfriend retail stores that take over will do a better job.
I saw some article recently on the eventual collapse of GC, same thing as last year, they reshuffled their massive debts and have bought a little more time, but the prognosis is that they end up selling the name to somebody and cleaning house at some point, which may be fun for all of us. Anyway, since you mentioned commission, apparently the rate dropped from something like 2.5% to something like 0.4% this year so commission isn't too much of a force anymore.
I keep hearing about them going under for years now but nothing. Idk if I am evil but I am looking forward to that day.
