I would like to "enquire" about that bass, because it looks super nice...but seriously. $1400 dollars for all of that is craaaaazy.

I asked him about the crazy price and he was quoting what he paid for it as reference. The bass plus 100 for BAII and quarter pounders each plus hsc. And then proceeded to tell me to buy a squire because they're cheaper.

I saw that and thought he was crazy--or high. Way too much for that gear.

dude, email him and ask him to explain how it's worth that much.

He was explaining to me how expensive monster cables were, and how since it's been sitting in his garage, unplayed all of it's life, it should cost as much as new, plus upgrades, plus labor.

It's like "hmm, MIM possible hack job, or Lakland, or URB, or...anything"

I saw a Cirrus 5 for $2500, then $1000 and when I emailed the seller, she replied it had been offered to her, new in case, and she said it was a "made in USA BXP".

I asked her to tell me if it said Made in Indonesia or Made in China, in the first case I offered $350 if in good shape (it came with a case), nothing if it was Chinese made because 1-I boycott Chinese made goods and 2-Chinese Cirruses suck.

Never heard from her, but the first price of $2500 made me smile, and I now think it was stolen good because when I asked for the serial she cut communication.

Lots of people like that on Craig's.

One dude was selling a Peavey TNT 100, claiming it was 200 W and asking for $350. I told him that $100 was a good price for both parties and that he would never sell it for more.

Here it is now:

150 Watt Peavey "TNT 100" bass amp, with two inputs and a pre-amp out. It's probably about 25 years old, and has been through a couple of owners. But it's a Peavey, so it's tough. And it's loud. It worked well in small clubs. There's nothing wrong with it; I'm moving and trying to lighten my load.

Note that he reduced both the wattage and the price.

I began on this amp
