Kiwi Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I nearly pulled the trigger on that Stingray 5. But no, I'm going to be good and wait for the Shuker to be finished... :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray5 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Wow - bargain! But I really can't justify a second one at the moment. Now had it been a fretless......Yowzah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkReaver Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 If I had 500 quid I'd be all over one of those Stingray 5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm pretty sure most of the stuff on that large clearance list will already be gone. I remember someone asking about that vampyre on here a few weeks ago and there's a few guitars on there that i rang up about a month or two ago that have been sold but are STILL there. Unless anybody knows otherwise, i'd appreciate if you could say so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Does anyone know if they'll ship to your house from their stores? I.E. if I wanted something from the Glasgow store, would they ship it to my house? EDIT: I'm not after that Streamer $$ BTW I'm after something much much cheaper :brow: Edited December 22, 2008 by benwhiteuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Well. 72 hours after selling my red SR5, I am now expecting a nice new white SR5 through my door soon Edited December 22, 2008 by Shockwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Most of that stuff is long gone! I rang up about stuff on that *sale* pdf mid-November and the Lakkies, Warwicks etc were gone. There might be the odd one or two items but tbh I rang all of the stores direct and just asked what they had in stock that was in the sale and they had nothing bass wise worth worrying over. They did offer to give a bit of discount on their 'new' stock but it turned out to be about the price you could buy it from anywhere else.
