Though the way Amazon works, prices fluctuate: as soon as one is sold, price will go up again, but might go down in the near future if none is sold for a certain amount of time...

Correction: you might need to be a Prime member to benefit from this price, but this is what I see posted as member.

Nice! It can keep the Studio 8 you snagged last year company :)

Two still left in stock, which means one more at this price and then BAM!! $800!

Kudos Pete, bought the same bass on offer on Amazon also 4 years ago for some $300. Didn't keep it long because I just can't handle 5 strings, but I do remember that it was a wonderful bass look and sound wise!

Haha. Anytime you are in Dover, NH, I live right about a craft brewer. And I have a spare room.

Thanks!

If you have a sec, let us quickly know what you think of the Damien Elite. I personally think it is worth every single dime you paid for...

I got the last one because the dummies shipped it in its INSIDE box. See blurry photos.
I knew the moment I saw how they shipped it that it would be damaged and yep -
there's a huge chunk taken out of it...

grrrr

Damn! That is a serious knock! That really sucks, man. Do you think you can exchange it for another?

Keep us posted.

Oh, I just saw where you wrote that you got the last one. Ugh.

Wow, I'm at a loss for words... I guess this starts with the Amazon shipping department, which obviously doesn't employ musicians, otherwise they would have known you can't ship a bass guitar in the inside box. Makes me wonder if it was already damaged before it was even shipped to you... so I have to also wonder who is going to cover the damage on this - Amazon, or their shipping company; UPS? Keep us informed as to how this works out for a replacement, or refund... and sorry to see such a nice bass damaged like this, regardless of the price paid for it....

Oh man, sorry about that!

Having a bit of experience with Amazon I think you have 3 options:

1- insist for them to find you an exchange,
2- return and refund,
3- or, you could ask for a partial $150-$200 refund and keep the bass...

Good luck!

Ok, after re-reading the post, I understand you already arranged for an exchange...
