Baton Rouge is blowing out a lot of stuff...this neck-through Thumb 4 just went up on the site for $1099: http://used.guitarcenter.com/usedgear/details.cfm?listId=104538989
yeah, I almost bought it a few days ago but it had no case and the tax rate is 9%, and add shipping. still probably a good deal though. congrats
Yes it was a little more out the door (tax was the killer!): Used Carvin Bunny Brunell Bass $499.99 Used Music Man Case Shipping Charge LA Sales Tax (9%) Total $610.38 If the condition is as good as reported still a very good deal. I think I sold my BB for well over 775.00 a few years ago. I will sell off the MM case anyways so I can get some of it back depending on cond. $30-50 on craigslist or here.
FYI it was an out of state sale... you should have only paid the La. state sales tax, you where not in the store. La. state sales tax is only 4%. The Perfect Bass for instance is in La. as well and when you call to order something you only get charged for state sales tax and not local taxes unless you are in the store buying it locally, what a shame. Peace,
I will ask, but we are talking about maybe 25.00 difference on a bass $300 marked off and a HSC plus 20.00 shipping.
Well what it boils down to, you payed more that twice the tax you should have been charged. But hey it's just my 2 cents... the taxes you shouldn't have had to pay could have went twards something else. Killer looking bass, if it plays as good as it looks, it should be a keeper. Peace,
