Zero interest. Never turn down other people’s money.$1449 sounds decent. I don’t buy gear on time. But if it’s zero interest and with the current rate of inflation, sounds ok to me.

That’s a really good deal. You negotiate well young Jedi. Go for it!Zero interest. Never turn down other people’s money.

I’m excited to check out your new ‘15 at the GTG. Congratulations! And there were other skilled enablers chiming in on this one.
I assume they’ll charge tax and shipping on top of that. Remind them it doesn’t have a case and see if they’ll take $1500 total out the door including tax and shipping. If not, see if they’ll throw in an after market case or gig bag (that fits it) for free. If not, buy it anyway, it’s a decent price if it’s a decent player.@MCF how does $1449 sound and only $34.20 per month?
Why was there not 36,575 beers available when I was drinking to try??? So many choices these days.....76 and pleasant in Seattle today.
We're going to BBQ and enjoy a cold one of these with a frozen Stein in a couple hours.

I pushed the manager as far as he would go. Strangely, I asked about cases as part of the deal and he said the only case they carry for Tbirds was a Roadrunner and it was 1/2” too short. Let’s see what it looks like when it shows up. If any issues besides the small rub on the headstock, I’ll be working them on more discounts.I assume they’ll charge tax and shipping on top of that.

You got him down $200. And like you said you’re using their money. GC shipping is negligible. I think you did well, assuming it checks out when it arrives.I pushed the manager as far as he would go.

I dunno. It's really hot in spite of the driving rain. We all have to walk uphill in both directions because downhill hasn't made it this far yet. Maybe next year. And we don't have refrigerators. Really. It's awful here in Seattle. Don't believe Veronica. She's a devious vixen, luring you to your fate.

I'm not making fun, brother. I'm not crazy about heat either. Didn't like it working construction and much later, I'm less a fan now. If I'm doing something outside and it gets too hot (with the great humidity we have) and I'm done.
Not that it matters, but I agree and think it will be a good deal if the bass is satisfactory. If I did the math right in my head on the free money payments, it will take GC 13 yrs to get all their money.You got him down $200. And like you said you’re using their money.

There are days as you describe where I think a nice cold beer sure would hit the spot more than anything else for the reason you mentioned....I'm not even a 'beer" person, but that is really good on a hot day, very crisp.

Dec. 2012 = 2013 model?
Afaik, (model year) 2013 was the first year for the CP, and seems to be the only year with the same pickup spacing as the VP, very similar to the original T-birds.
edit: for some reason, when I try to post the website as a link, TB breaks it- so take out the space? and it works.....
Thunderbird Pickup Distances | TalkBass.comMy classic pro dates to Sept '12 according to that link.
Pickup spacing from 12th fret to middle of pickup is 10 15/16 and 14 7/16.
Dont know if that is '13 spacing or what.

I hope someone from here got the Silverburst. That was a great price.
Back when 2 and 3 transistors were the norm for transistor radios, I bought one of my sisters a 7 transistor radio for Christmas. It had wimpy reception and ate batteries like crazy.I remember Dad buying a radio for the car and it having “11 Transistors” written across the front.
Back in the days when cars used to get a badge on the back for automatic transmission
