Members McCain Posted June 5, 2012 Members Share Posted June 5, 2012 Has anyone owned one of these? I've been looking for an inexpensive J-bass so I'm wondering what the quality of this one is like. Nowhere can I find any specs on the body wood. I previously got a Jay Turser strat from Amazon for $25 (you might remember that deal), and with some minor work it played nicely, though in my valuation it was still only worth $100 at most. So it's hard to judge what to expect with this one. Don't know..one amazon comment...at $98 just ordered one for a wood carving project. I think most of their stuff is alder. Only 2 left but when one is sold the last one will probably go back to around $199 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it turns out being a good buy...didn't do a whole lot of research but not finding any negatives is a good sign. Grab the last one before the computers reset.

Members watsonaka Posted June 6, 2012 Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 This thread killed by trolls. I find this patently offensive, and in no way in the spirit or the history of this once excellent thread. Especially coming from a mod, and opening the thread. I can't imagine what kind of impression it leaves on someone coming here for the first time. It's just a complete slap in the face of everyone who contributes to this thread in good faith. I'm not looking for an argument either and have nothing further to say on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what this thread is for. As for Deanmass, I don't think he's not a mod. He merely started the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a mod, he just thinks it is his duty to start another thread on the 1st if the mods don't do it right away. A couple others pointed out to him that the mods could probably handle it and he didn't need to start the thread for them and he got a bit defensive and changed his post to what it is now.

Members Danhedonia Posted June 6, 2012 Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've regretted getting rid of a few guitars in my life:* a Yamaha SRV* '71 Tele* a Jay Turser Strat I got for $100 I gave the Turser to a friend when I made a cross-country move and was thinning the guitar herd (that same week saw me sell the SRV for $250 ... sigh). I really miss that guitar. Like many Tursers, it had a pine body - which made it nice and light. While there was nothing remarkable at all about the guitar, there was also nothing wrong with it. I called it a "toilet guitar," because, uh, I like to play and write songs while sitting on the throne. At that price, it was a terrific spare guitar to have around, and it also looked nice. Caveat: it was at a store with a bunch of other JT's; more than half of them had issues (lumps or twists in the necks was the most common) that made them unusable. Sounds like QC has gone up in the 8 years since I got mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vanzant38 Posted June 6, 2012 Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 If I were interested in another Strat I'd probably pull the trigger on that ash SX. A plus is that their shipping calculator usually is over 20 bucks, sometimes close to 25, but today it's $15. Not a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't referring to any specific coupon, I was saying that you could use one of the 15% coupons that seem to be available more often than not to get that price. If there isn't one now, give it a few days, I'm sure one will be along shortly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members golias Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 I just got an e-mail from Guitar Center saying that Fender is doing $100 off on their American Standards from last year, plus another rebate on top of that which GC could not disclose over e-mail. I'm set as far as Telecasters & Strats go, but I'm tempted to go see what else they have on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
