GC is unpredictable about shipping.
Two different stores had GB 2x12 NeoX cabinets and both wanted the same price.
The nicer cabinet was also closer and when I called to buy, the guy said that there wasn’t a price for shipping and it was shipped free and packed very well.

OTOH, this could be the one in a million.

Yeah I hate shipping stuff, I have never had to buy boxes thus I have yet to ever reach that point of buying boxes but right now I have 6 basses for sale and 3 boxes so here is to hoping 3 of them sell on CL before online. Some guy on my local craigslist has 10 used boxes he posted photos of and wants $150 for.....some people try to make money out of anything. I mean id flip him a $20 for them, but $150 for used cardboard? lol.

I don't know what this could be. Possibly an MIJ. No truss at the nut. Maybe an older MIA before the bridge got fancy? It's probably worth a call.

The biggest red flag on that is the 21 fret neck. Maybe a MIM/MIJ body with a Warmoth neck that has the fret extension bit? I doubt its a MIA body as the bridge isn't string-through and doesn't look like the ones of American Specials, and the finish seems way too glossy to be a Highway One.

Good call. I wonder what it is. It's a shame the store employees would be able to give me zero useful information.

Yeah its one of those E series 84-87's. They are pretty sweet I sold a mint black and maple P version last month on craigslist for $600, but again it was mint and weight 8.25 pounds. That jazz could be a great player but I wouldnt hit it for that , $400 would be worth the gamble to me.

There are two vintage V4Bs on GC.com right now for $599. I just picked up an early V4 off there for $500 ($569 after shipping/tax) the other day. They seem to be selling at no less than $700 on eBay and are all listed around $1k on Reverb.

Not sure why GC is sleeping on V4/V4Bs but definitely some great deals.

Just a heads up if anyone's on the hunt for one!
