So, I had a bass listed, one I wasn’t playing any longer. I was going to list a second, but I figured “what the hell”, and took them down to GC to see what I’d get for trade-in value. I’d found a used bass on their website at another location I was interested in getting and figured it would be easy if I took care of it all at the same time.

For the first bass, they offered me more than I had it listed for. For the second, they offered me more than I was going to list it for. I was honestly blown away; I’d never seen GC offer such high dollar amounts. While I was in the store waiting for everything to process, I tried out three basses… one of which I could not put down, and when I played any other bass, I just wanted to play the first one instead.

So, I didn’t get the bass on their website. I ended up leaving the store with this combination of new stuff:

That’s a Boss Katana 210 amp (160 watts through 2 10" woofers, built-in USB DAI, and low power mode perfect for my small space) and an Ibanez SRMS800 bass. The fanned fret thing is awesome. I love playing it, I can’t put it down. :slight_smile:

Edit: Oh, and I got about $100 back, too.

Awesome! :slight_smile:
I love that amp.
I nearly nearly bought the 110… but I am mostly using the PC, so it would’ve been a waste.

The 110 probably would have been a better choice given the space I have, but… I figured “I’ve got so much trade in value, why not GO BIG!?” :smiley:

Not unpopular at all. The paranormal series is great and that Rascal is really comfortable to play and sounds great. It’s a good example of a bass that punches way above its cost. :sunglasses: :+1:
