Yep, tried to buy the one at GC. Put it in my cart, entered my CC #, got an email stating that there would be an "extended shipping time". A week later it still hadn't shipped, so I called them and was told that they didn't have one, but they had a used one in NJ for $1200. Called my local GC to see if I could get that one for $999, but was told that I'd have to call the GC in NJ. Ended up going on Reverb and making an offer on one listed as being in excellent condition. My offer was accepted and it arrived 2 days later in brand new condition! Even still had the plastic on the pickguard and neck plate with a pretty decent setup and no sharp frets.SignoftheDragon wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 2:05 pmLooks like GC is out of stock on these- if you want one, get it quick!
Musician's Friend still has white ones listed in-stock, I'm curious to see how long they'll stay that way.
Curiously, it seems both GC and MF have a used one on their respective websites, both listed without pics at $200 above retail. (Even though MF has them new!)
As an aside, I happen to have a Fender/G&G case for my Squier VM Bass VI, and although the XII fits in the case, it totally swims in it. I'll look into hard cases, but for now it'll live in my dual bass gigbag along with the Bass VI.
