reverb, ebay, craigslist, etc. be vigilant. use coupons. i've seen them. since the specials have come out, used prices on the previous years have dropped.

I ask because I've never seen that price on eBay, reverb, Craigslist, etc. (and they don't accept coupons.)

+1 for a G&L L-1505, truly gruesome through a DG X-7 with TI flats

Yes, I just bought a MIK fretless version of this exact bass, in transparent blue. edit - mine doesn't have the drop-in bridge, the volume treble mid and bass controls are nice, it feels and sounds and looks wonderful, especially for the price point

Not rock or metal, but here's a fretted one with a good player...
