Probably I'm the only one who knows what it is!

15% off $999 makes it around $848 before tax. Hmm...

Until yesterday I had two of Uwe's basses at chez Veronica, the Epi T Bird went first, that new G-3 is a cool bass!

It's always easy to buy, as Music123 and American Musical keep letting me know. It's that damned problem of having to pay for it.

It's one reason I subsidize cases for my basses.  Close to 50 shipped and not a penny spent on shipping materials except for tape and labels.  Around $1000 in savings by my estimate...close to the price of a 1993 Hamer 12. 

I'll use anything to justify a bass purchase ;D

If it's clean that's a great price.  Go for it.

Stopped by Sam Ash to give the G-3 a try, since it was on a lower hanger and within easy reach. That bass is amazing!
Marked down to $849 plus tax. Apparently Gibson has already discontinued it.

I'm regretting not owning one, it's really a great bass!
