stingrayfan Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Just returning from a trip to Los Angeles. Swung into the Guitar Centre as is tradition and was a bit taken aback at how expensive everything seems to be now. Basic Stingrays were $1500+, Geddy Lees, $1300, MIA Ps, $1000 all plus 9% sales tax on top. I'm sure prices never used to be that high. You could buy cheaper in the UK at the moment - and I never thought I'd say that! They were selling an Orange valve head for $2500 too. Plugged into it and it sounded like cotton wool. I've plugged into sheep with less wool - but that's something the magistrate told me was not acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up my Geddy for about $700-$800 incl. a flightcase from the Boston Guitar Center, how the hell could they justify that increase?! And it wasn't like the bass had been sitting around in store for ages, it had got in two days previously. Jeez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
