Swee Lee BB showroom sale: Some stuff to consider

As promised, some recommendations for tomorrow's grab-&-go event @ Swee Lee's BB showroom. There is a super budget corner near the entrance (see above pic- thanks Yadni!) where discontinued & forgotten models are displayed on a mini stage- these guitars/ basses are subject to more than 70% off their list prices. 
A very good bargain would be the above Peavey Predator Plus (but not in the above green finish) going for only $144 (without bag). It's in a superb condition- fresh strings & untarnished hardware, great for back-ups & beginner moments.

Many amps clearing for a good price, namely Epiphone, Laney, Washburn & Randall. The one you see above is less than $100 after discount- good considerations for starters & those who wish to stash extra gear under your office workstations, for instance :-)

I've worked closely with the BB showroom team (this time round- hopefully there's a next time as well) to sieve out the discontinued Ibanez models so look out for a good clearance price tomorrow. List prices are definitely 50% off, NETT prices are subject the usual 10% but the discontinued models- look forward to at least 60% off (expect even more on selected models). If you are in the market for an above-average, fixed bridge Ibanez from the Prestige range, do consider the RGA121 (discontinued- pic above), ignore the sparkle finish & get on with a good guitar.



Ditto the RG1570, a great no-frills Prestige model to work with.

If it's within your means to consider something higher up the tier, the RG3570 (discontinued) should be on your list...

... as well as the 2010 version of the Ibanez Universe (note the Edge Pro bridge instead of the current Lo-Pro Edge).

If you have any queries pertaining to Ibanez guitars, I'll be checking e-mail constantly till midnight or you can post them up in the comments section.

Hi, I was thinking about the Epiphone Les Paul Special III. Any thoughts about that? Is it a good guitar?

Michael said...

i've been following the Ultra developments for quite a bit because it's my kinda epi- much clarity in tone, not mud. i have a full review of version 1 here: http://www.soft.com.sg/forum/guitar-reviews/16213-epiphone-les-paul-ultra.html

All basses are subject to discount, definitely :-) those cort basses are criminally overlooked.

any offers for bags and cases?

subversion.sg said...

Mike- glad to be of help. Ray- all on sale, good thing is, those bags & cases are all on list prices except for a few nett items. The SKB stuff look attractive.

how about normal RGs?

subversion.sg said...

Regular RGs are on 50%, except those Edge III equipped models- definitely priced to go eg: RG420EG/ RG350DX
