Yes, and purchases still qualify for any interest free financing they may be running at the time.

That's exactly what happened,

Also, if you apply online, you don't have to wait to get the physical card in your hand as long as you have the number which is provided when you print out the "congratulatory" screen/receipt after approval. Easy peasy process and Katey really did me right. My sales guy called me and we chatted for over 30 minutes while we finalized the deal details. It was another overall very positive experience with MF.

Looks like they're finally liquidating the last of these. I just ordered a blonde one to go along with my VM Tele Bass SPECIAL (two pickup model).
I'll probably mod this one considerably.

I got the following reply from Gearheads after requesting a better price on an Ampeg 210AV. - "I apologize, but we have no discounts available from our list prices at this time. We aren’t able to offer any discounts aside from valid coupons or price matches." - Anyone else have this kind of response?

I got the same response yesterday for a REDDI

MF doesnt get lemon rics more then any other place . MF just doesnt inspect the basses like wildwood does, so MF sends out the lemons that Wildwood catches and sends back to Ric for repair. I love the misinformation that starts rumours on the internet. Why would Ric send B stock basses to MF?

I had 3 rics from MF, one was terrible. I returned it, one was a decent bass. I sold it at a $200 profit. The last one I bought and still have is fantastic and has ZERO detractors, I have looked it over and over again the past 1 1/2 years I have had it and besides a dark section of wood on the back its perfect and with a natural colored bass thats just what happens sometimes, I actually like it as I can identify it as mine if stolen.

I paid $1080 for the bass from MF in december 2011 and they still made money off it.
From what I have been told, and take no offense is that musicians friend is owned by guitar center, and they are basically there liquidation of returned gear from customers that have had issues with it that had found some sort of reason that they had to return it to the store. the article said that they repackage the gear and resell it at a discount.. this could translate into two different things, bad defective gear or premium gear that people couldn't dial in. Just what I have seen around the web, and my cousin who worked at a guitar center on the east coast told me the same thing fyi
