MF - Jags for $600

[R. Laevinus]

Firstly, my apologies if this is inappropriate or in the wrong place - Mods, please take the requisite action if this is the case.

However, Musician's Friend appears to be blowing out their Fender Jaguars for $600!!!

If you've been thinking about getting one, now's your chance!

If you're thinking of picking one up, remember to read this first:

80% of $599 is $479.20. Wow.

 

[R. Laevinus]

It's not a coupon deal, they're on clearance. Down to 599 from nine-hundred odd!

I could swear that the one Jag I've played (at Best Buy) was selling for just a bit more than $600...

Heck, for $600 I'd rather buy a used US J bass... But I don't buy stuff on credit any more.

 

[R. Laevinus]

To each their own. I just know that the Jag is my second-favourite bass of all time (yet), and up here in my neck of the woods, they go for a touch over a grand retail, last time I checked.

So on seeing that, I thought I'd share the love.

They were 600 brand new just 5 months ago anyway. 600 isn't a deal for these. That's what they should cost normally. Buy a used US bass for that kind of cash.

They were $600 until fender had their price increase. Then they went up to over $950 and now they are on sale to bring them back to where they were. If you go to Sweetwater now, they are $939 for red and $969 for black.

That has happened to a lot of Fender products in the past month or so. After raising prices, they have now introduced specials to get the price back down.

My question now is... white or red?

White...it's a really nice, deep oly white in person, and it offsets the pearl blocks quite nicely.

I just called to check. $479.99 with the code.

Time for me to go hunting behind the couch cushions.

This, I completely did not know. I guess I just don't spend enough time on Talkbass!

I seem to recall a guy starting a thread about the 479 thing not long ago. It seems they have done this before. They charge the same or a bit more than normal and make up for it with one time only offers every so often owuld be my guess. Still, 479 doesn't sound that bad, if I had it.

The Jag bass initially went for about $750 in 2006.

 

[Spleenface92]

I got mine at the initial price of about $700. Well, rather, my dad bought it for me. Why did they go up to $939, and now back down again?

 

[jwsamuel]

I just ordered a white one for $479.99. It should be here next week.

There IS a recession ya know!

I've heard from a few people that these basses can have some "hum" issues. Sexy looking basses though, although the colors are hardly inspiring.
