    Wanted Black Stock MIM Player Jazz Bass Pickguard

    Hey guys. Seen a lot of people recently getting the new Flamed Maple Green Burst jazz bass from GC, and I love it. I actually have my own MIM Player, in sage green which i've been looking to swap the pickguard out on for a little while. I don't want to pay 35$ for a WD to make sure it will fit...

    GC and Fender at it again. $599 for a Limited Edition Precision.

    Not my cup of tea because of the tort, but that could easily be remedied. And I just picked up the limited edition flamed maple top jazz on sale for $649 and already own two Precisions. But for someone needing a back up, or their first P, or their first bass even, gotta hand it to Fender and GC...

    Guitar Center Temporarily Closed

    I received an email from GC stating, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, Guitar Center Indianapolis is temporarily closed. We'll send updates when our store reopens, which should be sometime later this week." The next closest GC (Greenwood) is still open. I wonder if they're having staffing...

    Double Bass It's official...

    Your favorite music store to drive past, Guitar Center, has filed for bankruptcy. The company owns some historic music instruments. Will they go up for sale? IMHO they will restructure and survive. Thoughts? Stories?

    No Wonder Guitar Center is going down the tubes????

    I keep hearing about the possible upcoming demise of Guitar Center. Sad. But I can share a reason why. Been trying to deal on a used 2019 Rickenbacker 4003 with a store in Winter Park Fl. They finally gave me a sort of decent price, not the best, but decent. I bought it on Monday morning June...

    Advice on Trading Items at Guitar Center

    I did some fall cleaning and have a bunch of pedals and acoustic bass that I’m afraid will be more of a hassle trying to sell online that they are worth. All of the items (including about a dozen inexpensive pedals) are in perfect working order and near perfect cosmetic condition but are not...

    Is GC the BK of music?

    I’ve been living in the US for a year now, and I’m getting an image that’s very different than the one I had from outside. It looks to me, that musicians consider Guitar Center as the musical version of Burger King. That is, a store that once was good, looooong time ago, but now it became the...

    first time visiting a GC in over 18 years

    This is definitely an episode of Get Off My Lawn, just to be up front about it. Prior to 2005 I lived in the St. Louis area. There were GC and Mars stores at the time, and I'd occasionally drop in to fondle the goodies before my oldest was born in early 2003. Probably before my wife was...

    New (Used) Bass shipped!

    Just ordered a mid nineties Ibanez TR500 from GC. Looks great and have heard nothing by good things about them. Love the factory option to bypass the active preamp. Been searching for a bass with that option that still suited my needs. Also have a mid nineties SWR Henry 8x8 on the way. Now...

    hollywood and wla GC - lots more combos, lots less cabs

    i'm interested in trying some 112, 210 and 115 cabs, so we headed off to our local GC yesterday. at a glance, the bass room was full of basses and amps. a closer look, however, revealed liimted cabs - there were ampeg PF series cabs and i think a 6x10, lots of markbass cabs, a few acoustic...

    PSA: Guitar Center ripping off customers on their GC Bucks promotion

    I just received my GC Bucks from Guitar Center for the $10 for every $50 spent promotion they ran from 1/10 - 1/13 (screenshot of the ad from the site is attached). I got hosed. I've done this promotion several times in the past and have had problems every time. I've always had to call in...

    Does GC discount used gear?

    With the big sale weekend ahead, I'm wodering if any of you have been able to get a discount on used GC gear. I've bought a few used items but could never get them to give a discount even for items that had been listed for awhile. Is there a coupon or any advice for negotiating with these guys?

    Weird...

    So I bought a set of strings from GuitarCenter two days ago and I got home and noticed the package was opened. I looked inside and noticed that the inner plastic bag was opened as well. I then removed the 4 strings and they all looked unused and new. At this point, I figured someone just...

    GC let this go out the door

    A student of mine bought this. Nice bass but the truss rod is sticking out. I cant believe they let this go.

    I spotted a used Stingray on GC used for $699 in black w/ maple fingerboard. I've been wanting a Stingray since I sold my first one 10 years ago and black/maple is my preferred combo. The picture is so bad I can't even tell exactly which model/era EBMM Stingray it is. It is listed as...

    Are GC coupons transferable? Here's one

    I was sent a Guitar Center coupon for 20% off, I wanted to use it for relief of acute GAS symptoms but my refund is going to take several days or weeks to get in the bank. In case it is transferable to other people here it is s743afyvrxd0x Today Feb 14 the last day to use it, btw Enjoy!

    GC Eye-roll Vintage Fender Precision, '68-'69

    Saw this yesterday high up on the wall, out of reach of typical mere mortal slap-bass Ibanez punishers. I asked the nearest hipster employee to take it down so I could check it out. "Yeah, it's a '68 body with a '69 neck. We think it was a transitional bass. All the electronics have been...

    Guitar Center set up (Fender content)

    I stopped at a Guitar Center on my way home after work last night to check out the new Fender basses. I'm so disappointed.... All the basses had too much neck relief. With the strings pressed down on the first and last fret there was enough space to fit my car keys in the relief. The saddles...

    Chicken Little again, or should we be watching for GC Sales?

    Seems like reports of GC's imminent demise come every couple years... and then they survive, but the recent downgrade in their credit rating can't be good. My limited experience with brick and mortar stores going under (Sears, Circuit City, and Radio Shack locally) has been that their...

    the GC bait and switch? - or - can we do business? (USPOMO content)

    I'll die never having had a credit card, it's still 1975 for me, but, Guitar Center says they honor money orders, even by the Post Office, yet insist you must pay with it in person at their store, which negates the ages old general usage of a mo for long distance payment via the mail and...

    Should I ask for a refund from GC

    So I maybe being petty but at this point it's the second time I have been down this road with Guitar Center. I ordered a Ampeg SVT212 cab at store opening on Wednesday November 15th. It was coming from Chicago by ground 3-5 business days. Should be here in 4 days. I followed up on the 4th...
