Re: First SnowGlo Flip
I am wondering if it is okay for a dealer to sell a new instrument for more than the MSRP...
So long and thanks for all the fish!

Alas, it's only a "suggestion"

I had written Mr. Music about the bass, and they sent me a message the following day. Happily I was able to tell them I had already secured one. Here's their email:
"We do have two coming in, I'm not sure what were gonna sell them for yet, but we do have a lot of inquiries on this bass."
I realize it's their bass and they can sell however they want, but it just seemed like bad form to put it on ebay instead of selling to a loyal customer. Just my 2 cents.
Ah, didn't know that, Keith. Hopefully, I 'll see it by mid-week.
I'll have to send Bruce a thank you card or bring him something when I go back to Rochester at Xmas to visit.
Cheers

You AND the shop are both getting homemade ginger cookies when my bass comes in!

Re: First SnowGlo Flip
I'm going to pick up my new SnowGlo today after work. In the meantime, this afternoon is dragging by incredibly slowly.
This is the first brand-new, store bought bass or guitar purchase I've made since 1981. I've always preferred buying used. However, the white/white/chrome of this 4003 is just too sweet to let pass.

Re: First SnowGlo Flip
Looking forward to lots of photos!
Also: don't forget to add it to the registry.

What a beautiful bass, this is the color I've always wanted, and Mr Music is not very far from me but of course as it goes I have no money for a bass right now (and I'm pretty far from home right now anyway).

I've brought the SnowGlo home. She's just so awesomely beautiful. Mind you, the wheels are turning. I can see a horseshoe + a toaster added. Also, a back painted white guard. Mind of a tinkerer.

Re: First SnowGlo Flip
I don't know how the dealers are chosen to handle these one-off rarities, but I would think only the most reputable ones would be considered. Its disappointing as a consumer to see this "attempted gouging" take place.johnhall wrote:That's not speculation but a fact. I think the understand well what's going to happen if they do it again.libratune wrote:Also possible is that this seller, as a RIC dealer, was told by RIC to pull the listing.
Thanks for sticking up for us John.

Re: First SnowGlo Flip
How much are the other 14 SnowGlo's selling for, as a rule? 
Watch those teeth, Marlin. I'm not sure we've properly sedated the beast . . .
Re: First SnowGlo Flip
Hi Jeffrey, yeah but I'm leaving in a few days, will be back here in January for most of the year. Incidentally there is a Rickenbacker dealer here, found it online, not sure if he is a real dealer and if he has any in stock but was nice to see.jps wrote:Back in Peru?rictified wrote:...(and I'm pretty far from home right now anyway).
