Use coupon code SA99 to get 15% off your purchase of $399+. Shipping is free.

IMPORTANT!! For many of these deals to work, you must add something to your cart that is NOT price dropped from a sale or a demo/clearance item. Then you can apply the coupon code. That way the discount will stack. Examples (prices shown are after coupon is applied):Notes:
  • Sam Ash is continuing to hold a promotion: Any purchase over $399 will earn you a $50 gift card next month. [samash.com]
  • Sam Ash will sometimes list brand new items as "demo/clearance". These items are often still brand new in box, but if you're unsure you can call Sam Ash and ask a sales rep if the item in question is brand new and/or will ship from a Sam Ash warehouse instead of a store.
    • An actual demo item will usually say "on display at a Sam Ash store"
  • Restock usually indicates a customer return without opening the box; indistinguishable from brand new or a way to get around MAP à la ProAudioStar. As always YMMV.
  • You can still place an order for backordered items.

If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

The RG652 in the post is a Premium, not a Prestige.

I am pretty sure that's a listing mistake on their part. I included the Prestige part because it is actually a prestige.

If that 335 was cherry finish… I'd give it some serious thought. Or if was a 64 RI it would be in my cart.

The ones I've looked at are restock items. Also the schecter svss that is on sale has a bogus 1k msrp…even the sustainiac version has a lower msrp than that (sea foam green).

I wouldn't put too much stock into what the MSRP says. That number comes from Schecter's website [schecterguitars.com] and they always strike out that "price". Just compare with Sweetwater instead.

Re on restock items: The deal has some notes but it's likely you'll get BNIB. You can just call them if you want to know about the condition as well.

Hey!!! Sam Ash is on my $&%# list right now from the last sale…Beware. Ordered and paid for a used Fender Ultra Jazz bass. Screaming deal. Got my package a few days later and opened up a fret less P bass - definitely not what I ordered.

Ok, mistakes happen. I call back right away to let them know and they seemed more concerned about getting the PBass back instead of me getting screwed. However, I sent the PBass back within the hour so I could get the correct guitar.

Flash forward 2 weeks…no word on the JBass after reassurances from the guy handling my case. I did get a notification of refund the other day (even though I certainly did not request one). As of today - 2 weeks after I ordered- I have no guitar and am still out my $$. Boo Sam Ash👎👎!

That sucks, sorry to hear dude. I've never personally bought anything used from Sam Ash so I can't really comment on it (most of my used stuff is from GC or smaller shops), but I've had a good experience thus far with buying anything from them new/clearance/restock online.

With used stuff it's like Guitar Center, some locations just suck but others will set you up solid. I always ask for pictures before buying just to guarantee they aren't sending me something bogus.

Thx man. Deal I got seemed too good to be true and looks like it was. Repped for the post tho.

Btw, if any bass players are looking for a Katana 210, there's a $50 rebate available in September. So $599 x 15% off = $509 - $50 rebate = $460 before tax. Just got one and I think I'll keep it (but don't get me started on it's Bluetooth)

NP! Good heads up, found the rebate [boss.info] and seems pretty neat. Katanas are good amps.

My main bass amp right now is a Ampeg RB112 I nabbed for $350 off Musician's Friend (price drop + call-in deal). Wish Ampegs went on sale more often, but they're too good.

You can also get a new Rickenbacker 330 Fireglow for $1360 before tax, which is a ridiculous deal. $1487 for a Ric 4003s bass too. Both are backordered but would be a score if they actually ship (but refer to my original comment)
