Guitar Center used site

It’s wild just how inconsistent their customer service is depending on location. I’ve been fortunate to not have any issues but I haven’t bought a ton.
I would say if you bought a bass at that $$ I would call their corporate line, I know I’ve heard others have had luck with that avenue.
i sent them one final email today seeing if they will answer. next step, corporate

While searching for something Markbass related, I came across this Peavey guitar amp. They describe the condition as "Good" but looking at the front, you can see that parts of the surrounds of both speakers are missing.

If you look at the photo of the back, you can see straight-through to the grille cloth. Seems far less than good condition to me!

That should have been bought in through "Vintage"

I think you'll be fine, USA G&Ls have been hovering in the $900-$1k range even on classifieds here. I picked up an L-2000 that was awesome for $850 not too long ago.

They still are, mostly, but they are starting to creep up a little bit, depending on the bass/condition.

Stopped into the Totowa, NJ store and spied these two beauties.

This ESP is gorgeous and felt great; if I had any interest in a fretless fiver, I would have taken it home.

This ‘72 Precision has mojo for days! Really beautiful natural relic’ing; I’d call the neck “heavy” wear and the body “medium”. I didn’t bother finding someone to unlock it for me, but quickly running my hand along the neck, it felt nicely worn and comfortable. Just be advised it has Seymour Duncan aftermarket pickups in it. Everything else looked original. The price seems a little high to me for a ‘72 with new pickups, but I’m not really a vintage guy, so what do I know?

Did you happen to see a silver warrior they have out there? J MM pickups

Found this one at my local store. Good price, but it's been marked down because the picture does not show the literal chunks of finish missing off of this guy. And the bad part is that it's not something that could just look relic'd it looks like sheets of finish have been peeled off.
