My vocal teacher would tell you: never do vocals on rock band. It will trash your voice.

Hi there.
We are not currently looking for a bass player. so don't check us out at: http://www.reverbnation.com/#/backfromblind
We don't want someone who is versatile and has good gear and can make a regular practice schedule to create fantastic original music with a group of talented, dedicated and mature musicians.
No Siree (or no Ma'amee as the case may be)
We don't want none of that. Nope not a bit.
We don't want you to join us in playing gigs - hell we already do that without you, so why would we need you with your low tones and funky rhythmic sensibilities?
We don't want you to come and play with one of the best guitarists, best vocalists and best drummers in Kitsap County. Because that would be stupid and you could be some kinda prima donna drama queen hissyfit throwing looser, and we simply can't have that.
We don’t want none of your tricksy fingers and no pick using shenanigans.
You probably have long hair and we can’t stand that. You might wear leather and have a moustache and sing. Predictable! Or maybe you are all refined and dress nice and smell good and wear a dress and take the time to put on make up and girly stuff like that. Talk about boooring. Or you could be a Cleetus in a BBQ stained wife beater and a Peterbuilt hat drawling at me while talking about all the folks ya'all left back in t' haller. The banjos are dueling in my head as I think about you.
So you smelly, longhaired, dress wearing primadonnadramaqueenhissyfitthrowing looser, now you know where we stand. Don’t you?
Bassist, don’t reply, we don’t need you.

Yes thats right. This guitar has been made into a Pipe as well as a awesome playing guitar.

Bowl is attached to the body, with a hose comming out of the back.

this is a copy of a fender strat but plays just as well as a real one.

I dont smoke anymore so its been sitting around. thought someone else might get some use out of it.

This was my first good electric that i bought, and i must still say that it sounds amazing.

Handy for when jamming and you want to take a hit really quick.

asking for 200 o.b.o

paid over 250 because of its uniqueness.

one of a kind, and you wont find it anywhere else...just look around...i guarantee it. 805-xxx-xxxx

It seems like every gear ad on CL that comes with cables calls them chords instead of cords... especially when the word power precedes it.

Here's a good one: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/msg/1938380057.html

"LIKE NEW *FENDER* Electric Jazz Bass 2002 - $899 (Berkeley Heights, NJ)

Deluxe American Jazz bass - FENDER - 2002 (Mexico)

Serial Number # MZ1 1 17 107

Still fully stung and ready for use. In perfect condition except that it needs a little TLC and polish.

It comes with a strap and a set of new strings. There is also an amp which I am willing to part with for a discount.

The case it comes in is in good condition but has some stickers and such on it. Most of that will come off with some soap and water. "

I love it. Deluxe American made in Mexico. It's all of those, it's none of those!
