Saw the Spector missed the Marcus. A couple great deals I had the 5 string version of that Spector (more or less) and I loved it.

Check out this one

same price as the 4 string above

That's pretty good stuff. I think that's what the "Hot Deals" Forum near the classifieds is for, but a thread for all of us to chime each other in on sweet CL deals in various areas would be sweet.

ATK300 with HSC for $400 in Seattle.

If this thread didn;t have the 'and me with no loot' part, it would be the perfect place, but even as it stands, its pretty good spot for it.

Someone put an vintage ampeg fliptop amp on CL yesterday for 175, I responded in 10 minutes, and was number 4.

Yah... craiglist.com is one of things that takes some practice getting used to. I found that the 'gems' are there.. mixed in with the mutts.. not always the easiest things to spot.

About 4 days ago I bought a '89 Peavey TNT 150 for $150 cash from a guy from another Calvary Chapel. He wanted to really get rid of it that same day, so he loaded it his car and drove it up to Anaheim for me. He even threw in two practice pads for no charge. That TNT is sweet.. I love the 9-band EQ on it.. the great crossover.. plus the clipping circuit. The next day I went right out and bought some massively strong casters for it (The amp is 75lbs before adding those).

craigslist.com can be quite useful.. the trick is you have to be ready to move quickly.. which means keeping some cash on hand just for that purpose.
