Heads up

AMS just slashed the prices on their Gibson Thunderbirds

[wagdog]

Wow, it's not just the Tbirds, almost all the bass models are deeply discounted.  I just impulsively snagged a Tbird and a cream EB for the same price as just a Tbird is going for everywhere else.  If I had more money I would also get a cherry Midtown for $780 or a NR for $720.

the non-reverse is so tempting...I've been drooling over that bass for over a year...

Some great Gibson bass deals!

[Aussie Mark]

Does anyone know if the EB comes with a case at that $599 price?

Edit: Yes it does

It's not just basses, either. E.g., 2013 LP Standard, $2599 MAP, is $1699 to $1999 depending on which color. SG Standard Min-E-Tune, $1499 MAP, is $899 to $1099 except for the Classic White.

Wonder what's behind this? Sure, some 2014 models will be coming out, but the only other online stores with these prices are AMS' partners Same Day Music and Zzounds.

Yep, somethings up.  Last week I snagged an SG Standard bass from Music123 or for $895.  It's the model with block markers and pearl headstock inlays.  Very pretty.

Congrats!  Mine sounds really nice through a tube amp!  Now if the neck were just a little slimmer.  Hmmmm, a belt sander could remedy that.

I wonder if this sale is a sign of them not being available anymore.

I'd love to grab a blue one as a second.  Just got the bass and drum tracks back from recording the new tunes and the tone is VERY meaty even with the lower res MP3's!

Why?

Why?

Yeah, what he said!  Why?
