The funniest part is that he's charging more than double what anyone should pay him for it...

Text from the ad, 'cause it will eventually be gone. It's funny.

"BUY MY AMP 'CAUSE CHICKS REALLY DIG THAT BIG THROBIN' BOTTOM END

Buy my bass amp & you'll be so cool that chicks will finally dig you! Who needs talent? When you can just blow the people who think that your playing sucks right out of the room, with...

150 WATTS of RAW SPINE CRUSHING POWER!!!

WHO NEEDS P OR N? WHEN YOU CAN RATTLE YOUR PEANUTS WITH THIS BABY!

PLUS... BUY MY 150 WATT PEAVEY BASS AMP with a 15" BLACK WIDOW SPEAKER & BUILT IN CHORUS & I'LL GIVE YOU - 2 *FREE* BASS LESSONS!!!

Then you can...
- do shows
(playing in rat infested dives)
- get free beer
(people will throw bottles at your head)
- hot women will be all over
(you'll catch lobsters*)
- & eventually... you'll even get paid
(after expenses = $4)
- Woo-hoo! Ka-ching! Enough $$$
for discount baloney & crackers!

( * NOTE: now I'm sure that you're wondering: what the hell does he mean by "lobsters"??? Well... I *did* want to use ANOTHER more commonly used term referring to parasitic insects inhabiting the human genital area, that was significantly more humorous -BUT- that was forcibly removed by request from Kijiji, so... if this upsets you as much as it has me, then feel free to remind kijiji that we are SUPPOSED to be living in a democracy, free speech, yada-yada... now then, back to our regularly scheduled program...)

I might consider trading for a tube combo amp for guitar -OR- a good pair of 12" (only) PA speakers, plus cash. Please tell me the brand & model #

Mind you, having your own bass guitar is kind of a pre-requisite... Being mature (like I am), finished school &/or unemployed with lots of free time on your hands & available to practice (ie: not having your nose chained to your girl friends butt) kind of helps to.

So tell me all about you... what kinda bands you like & what your general goals are (besides waiting for the Doritos truck to accidentally drop off a shipment though your basement window)...
I have a bunch of chord changes typed out to help you along,

*BUT* you must be willing to put in an hour or so personal practice every day by yourself (hey, what did you think? That that thing was gonna play itself?).

Then you can start doing shows within a month... I'm serious, that's all it takes... -OR- if that's too much commitment for your bone-lazy, nintendo-lovin', weed-stained brain, then... just learn a few tunes & jam with me whenever you can...

I've been playing guitar & bass over 20 years & am into classic rock & some relatively recent stuff (no metal!). But if you feel like hauling your butt down to my neck of the woods. Lessons are $20 per hour.

Oh yeah... about the amp, it's a:
PEAVEY TNT 150 WATT
COMBO BASS AMPLIFIER
150 watts of babe-magnet power!

Easily able to rattle your neighbours fillings, freak out your goldfish & get you booted out of your apartment. But hey, don't worry! You can always crash with some of those "wholesome" groupies that you'll meet at gigs...

Comes with these features:
- 15" BLACK WIDOW SPEAKER,
- 9 band graphic EQ
(plus bass, treble & treble/punch boost)
- 2 (high & low) shiftable cross over outputs
- built in chorus effect (sounds really deep)
- about 2 feet wide, 2-1/2 feet high,

It's also good that this thing has wheels, 'cause this B-yatch is pretty damn heavy! The amp sounds great, but is waaaaay more than what I need, so I'm getting something smaller.

So, just shell out $360 & you can start doing your very own "God of Thunder*" impersonation! (*if you don't have a mullet, that was a KISS reference)

PS: don't ask me to trade for anything else...
I NEED MY D**G MONEY NOW!!!

**(humorous reference to non-prescription substances, used to cause recreational inebriation, removed by forcible request from Kijiji)

NOTE: I LIVE ABOUT HALF AN HOUR WEST, OF THE WEST ISLAND"
