This is beautiful!

Mine is making it's way across the country now. Set to arrive on Monday! Zzounds.com had a scratch and dent when I ordered mine as well. But they're also offering a 12 payment plan with no interest on a number of Gibson basses including the NRs and the gold top LPs.

The reason AMS and Zzounds both have a scratch and dent is because it's the same bass.  Same Day Music , AMS and Zzounds are three different companies sharing the same inventory and warehouse.

I've always bought from AMS because they offer an extra year's warranty on most items, although I've never had to use it.

The 12 payment option is nice, but it's not exactly zero interest. True, AMS doesn't charge you any interest, but they bill whatever credit card you use in 12 installments, and your credit card does charge interest. So unless you pay at least your minimum credit card payment due plus the billed amount in full every month, you'll be paying interest.

Thanks Dave. I did not know that. And about the CC interest well of course if you don't pay the full amount every month. But the payments are $99 and change, totally affordable for me. I didn't have $1200 to buy a new NR this month but mine is showing up on Monday. Pelham Blue please and thank you!

Arrived a couple of days early! It's really nice, plays and sounds fantastic. The factory set up is even good.

Europe update.  Key Music advise that Gibson Europe are quoting production difficulties in the US and are giving February 25th as the delivery date for the VS and (hold your breath) June '13 for the Pelham Blue.

Ho hum.

If you like I can get one for you.

[planetgaffnet]

I appreciate the offer, I really do, but the import duty and other add-ons are enough to make me hold on for another month.  Luckily my band have just hired a new singer, so there's no real urgency in that respect.  Thanks anyhow.

Best

The GC NAMM video shows off an NR.  Not a lot of real info, but nice to see some basses...

If he says "check this out" one more time, I'm gonna reach through the interwebs and smack him!
No mention of the G-3 so maybe it's already unavailable.

And he seems to think the volute is "really really cool"

He acts like the volutes are sexy pants bulges...

I like the guy. I also like volutes, Warwick does them too, so they are German engineering approved! . And he taught me that the syllable stress on volute is on the "lute" and not on the "vol"; you Anglo-Americans and the weird emphasis on your syllables, there never seems to be a rule!

there are rules but no one pays attention to them.
