NBD: Silly GC Edition

[Mammoth_Bass]

hi everyone, spotted this SX J bass in excellent condition on the used site last night. With cheap bag and only $50 something has to be wrong with it right?? Well nope. This is in great shape aside from a small crack near the pocket. Medium sized bass with 32" scale. I asked the employee why it was priced so low and he said the employee who took it in didn't know anything about the brand and only paid the guy $20. Poor guy.... anyway it's super cool. I usually play 34" but found this really comfy.

For $50, you can use it to swat flies.

BIG flies.

Ok, seems like about a $75 bass, so you saved $25...

I got "praised with faint damn" at work once (from a very respected elder statesman of the architecture, rest well, Ken.)

I'm sure there's a great story there, but let's save it for some other place. This is Ms. L's thread, after all.

Great deal, L! If it looks, feels and sounds great, enjoy the hell out of it!

This is the kind of stuff that compels me to keep buying basses! Damn it!

More like $50, and the thing with SXs is there's some variability at the low end - finding a really good one (like this seems to be) is worth a little extra, in my book (since you can't normally try before you buy). I think she got a pretty good deal actually. Don't think of it in absolutes, but in percentages, she got 58% off, not too bad.
