Hey, whatever works, and you got your cab. As much as I don't like to deal with GC, sometimes you're better off getting something there, or you might not have a better option. I had got my Fender Rumble 350 combo there, since they actually had one in stock, and available when I needed it, back in 2012. You know, I think that was actually the last time I've even been in a GC, come to think of it. I did order some strings from their site, afterwards, though. Pretty sure of that.

I know I'm not to cracked up dealing with GC either. But they did have the cab in stock, and it's new, so I didn't have to have one shipped in. 15% Off of $800. was ok with me. About the only things I buy from GC, are the ETB92 Nylons. Short scales, or Medium scales. The local GC I got the cab from, is a better place to sell something. Usually they will give me around $50. more than SA.

Yeah, I suppose GC are good for some things. Most of the time, they might be the only game in town, because they took out a lot of other shops when they spread out, but now they're feeling the pain, from what I've read, with the doom and gloom reports. Then again, the internet probably has did the most damage, especially if you don't have an online site to sell your stuff.

All I can say about the possible doom of GC, If they go down, to bad. In the mean time, if I can get a deal like I did on the SVT, ok. With GC doing my deal at this time, it really worked out fine. It's not every day I'm able to go there, find exactly what I'm looking for, it's a new just out of the carton, have a little more of the cash in my wallet than I needed, and get the 15% off. Oh yeah, and walk out the door with the cab.
It was pure luck. I can't SA has done me that well on things, considering I've done more transactions with SA. I just hit it right. Like I think I said the other day also, that local GC gives me usually $50. more when I sell some thing to them, then SA does.

Sometimes, I think it boils down to being at the right place at the right time. It just happens, not to be all metaphysical, or hippy, with stars aligning and all of that. :P I've had quite a few deals fall into place like that, though.

That's honestly what really happened on this deal. Just by luck, a 4th of July promotion, a listing on the GC site, and a phone call. Having the cash on hand was a big help too.

That's one thing I'll give GC credit for, they do run holiday sales, where you can save some money. It just depends on what it is, since sometimes it's for stuff you don't either need, or want.

Or totally couldn't afford whatever in the first place. Some times in the past, I couldn't make it to the shop to take advantage of the specials. I was just real lucky this time.

Have you often noticed in life that they always have the best sales or deals when you're broke? :roll:

Yes, I've noticed that. Or what really torques me, I have the cash, and can't get there to take advantage of a sale for exactly what I want. :evil:
