My Best Deal of 2009!!!! Markbass 8x10 for $500.00!!!!!!!!!!

That so rocks! Sounds like some deals I've done in the past...right place, right time! Congrats!

 

If I have the money, I cant find a deal. And, if there's a deal, I certainly won't have the money.
It pays to be in the right place at the right time.

the gear at GC always seems to go on sale for a crazy price months after I buy it. happened with my markbass and with my 08 american fender.

 

Score!!!

Congratulations

 

Clearance, huh? That can't be good for the fate of that cab. Bummer. It's a really good cab. Not a real deep sounding 810 compared to the Ampeg but it's got a strong mid presence. I'd definitely buy one for $500. Unfortunately the one at our local GC sold.

 

Over 6 years ago I was working the door at GC... At the time the SWR Megoliath was priced at $1499. I put one on layaway with my employee discount for around $950 (IIRC). Then a week or so later they decided to liquidate their stock of those cabs and closed them out at $599. So I cancelled my initial layaway and bought it at the closeout price. I even found a new one in a box in another store and had them transfer it over. Score!

I sold the cab last year for $650... After extensive use. Score!

 

That Markbass 8x10 is pretty light for an 8x10, yeah?

I love 8x10s, just can't haul one anymore.

 

i read about someone buying a clearance markbass f-1 at a GC so i decided to stop by my local one and found the last F-1 they had in stock marked down to 499!!!!!!! it now happily sits on top of an epifani ultralite cab(soon to be 2) gotta love GC clearance sales.

 

Regarding MarkBass- I think that GC's 2-year "exclusive dealer" agreement is about to expire, hence the "blowout" of their gear. May bode well for availability elsewhere.

 

Well, I guess what I said before is not totally accurate, I did get a 2X15 Mesa Boogie Diesel cab for 350 back in 1993. It was brand new. The same day I bought my 91 stingray for 800. The stingray was owned for 6 months by a friend of mine who traded it in to get a stingray 5 string. It basically sat in his living room the entire time. I have put many miles on it since then.

 

Great Score, man! Lady luck shines on everyone once in a while. Nothing like an 810 for shear ... um, BASS!!! And getting one at a great buy makes it even more enjoyable. Post a pic of yer new rig!

 

Crap, new at MF for $1400.. YOU STOLE IT! The B&C Drivers alone would have cost you more.
