I bought a black Fender USA Jazz bass and a sunburst USA Standard Jazz bass. I played them both and kept the sunburst. I got a full refund including cost of shipping for the black one.

With GC's return policy on used gear...basically you can have an item shipped to you and then return it to your local store for a full refund minus whatever it cost them to ship it to you in the first place?

There are a couple of basses I'm keeping an eye on but frankly I'm pretty sketched out by GC in general. I'd just like to know that at least I can return it to my local GC if the bass turns out to be, let's say not exactly how they describe it to me over the phone.

Yep, that's basically how it works. Regarding shipping charges, they won't refund what they charged you for shipping (which is likely to be more than what it actually cost them considering the amount of business they do with UPS and FedEx Ground/Home Delivery). And I've returned a number of things and I've kept a lot!

Good luck!

Interesting... Recently? A year or so ago, they seemed to refund shipping charges even on single item purchases, but the upgraded their system and stopped doing that.

I had a Boogie 2x15 Diesel cab shipped from Buffalo NY to Charlotte NC not too long ago for $14. I had a $$5 overnighted from WA to NC for $38.

I don't think GC is making money on shipping.

I've had similar experiences...a Hartke HyDrive 410 cost about the same as your Diesel to ship from somewhere way out East to Chicago (with tax, 14 month ProCoverage and shipping the cabinet was under $120 ). I got an Ampeg SVT410HLF shipping box out of the deal too.

I saw another a few weeks ago for $249 but shipping (again from the East Coast) would have been $45...so I didn't do it. In that case, I think they'd make some money.

For a second there I was wondering who would pay 38 dollars to have 5 dollars sent to them....

I've seen quite a few used Geddys hanging on GC walls lately. Not sure why.
