Here is the ad, just in case it get deleted:

IMPRESS THE BABES WITH YOUR THROBIN' BOTTOM!

Stop playing with yourself & play bass instead! You'll be so cool that chicks will finally dig you! (like that nice, wholesome, gal in the pic). So who needs talent? When you can just blow the people that think that your playing sucks right out of the room... WITH 150 WATTS of RAW POWER!!!

PLUS... BUY MY PEAVEY BASS AMP & I'LL
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 crabs)
- & eventually... you'll even get paid (after expenses = $4)
- Woo-hoo! Ka-ching! Enough $$$ for discount baloney & crackers!

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 (ie: not having your nose chained to your girl friends butt) to practice, kind of helps to - So tell me all about you... what bands you're into & 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 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 over 20 years & am into classic rock & some relatively recent stuff. Favorite guitarists that I can sound like: Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, the Edge, Andy Summers, Santana, Clapton, Robin Trower, Pat Metheney, George Benson... Notice that there's no shreaders on that list? That's because I'm really not into anything heavier than Zeppelin (neither are bar owners!).


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

Guaranteed to rattle your neighbors nuts, freak out your goldfish & get you booted out of your apartment (but don't worry, you can always crash with all the groupies you'll pick up at gigs!!!)

Comes with these built in features:
- 15" BLACK WIDOW SPEAKER,
- 9 band graphic EQ (plus bass, treble & treble/punch boost),
- 2 (high & low) cross over outputs (shiftable),
- 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 $380 & you can start doing your very own "God of Thunder*" impersonation! (*if you're not from Cornwall, that was a KISS reference)

LEAVING YOUR PHONE # & WHEN TO CALL YOU, WILL PROVE THAT YOU'RE A SERIOUS BUYER!

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

LOW BALL OFFERS WILL BE IGNORED!

Awesome add....

"You'll be so cool that chicks will finally dig you! (like that nice, wholesome, gal in the pic)."

This is the reason I started playing music in the first place. Sounds like this Guy has it all figured out.

"PS: don't ask me to trade for anything else...
I NEED MY DOPE MONEY NOW!!!"

I especially loved this. Strait to the point, and lets You know what "The seller" is all about.
