Getting very tempted to pick it up and just leave it open for someone else to grab it from me when they can. And that way, I'd get to mess around with it for a bit.
Just lowered to $700. Someone needs to grab this. I'd have contacted the seller by now if I actually played bass worth a damn. Still tempted anyway. http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/msg/3484630590.html
I'm more annoyed at myself for not managing to get in a custom order. Didn't make sense for me to do it right now, but I won't ever be able to get it done at this point. Had a pretty good idea of what I wanted too. Maybe I'll find someone else willing to build it down the line, but it won't quite be the same.
Thanks for pointing out the Sam Ash/Musician's Friend combo. I've got a Midtown on the way. And here's another crazy deal if anyone is looking for a guitar to get for a kid's first guitar or maybe just a beater. Sam Ash has the ESP LTD EC256 for $199 today. Musician's Friend should pricematch and give the $100 gift card. Kinda hard to pass up a brand new guitar for $100 if you know of someone who needs one.
