My Recent "Steals"

Sign in to disble this ad
I definitely just won a Dunlop 105Q on eBay for $10 + $16 shipping. Shipping price is pretty high, but that is a great price for one of these, am I wrong?

That is my real reason to make this thread, but while I'm at it, I might as well mention that I won a Hammond organ a few weeks ago for $2, that's right, $2! No, its not a B3, or any of the other popular models I don't think, hopefully it sounds nice. I'm pretty sure a lot of stuff doesn't work, but I can fix it! I just hope the tone is nice, I can do the rest as long as the final result will sound good!

I just got an American BassBalls for $25 + $15 shipping...not bad, I think.

Maybe we should turn this into best pedal deals?

I just got a Boss CS-1 from a TB'er for cheap because it was distorting... turned out to be a very simple repair! I'm stoked.

When I was in high school, one of my friend's dads gave me a late 70's MXR phase 90 for free. Doesn't get much better in the price department then that

Thanks

+1 to this being a 'steals' thread.

Unfortunately i don't have anything to add really. I seem to pay the going rate for effects. My 'steals' have been more bass related

I scooped up a really nice old Yamaha drum machine for $25 at a local shope recently. The clerk threw in a brand new Yamaha ac adaptor that sells for $20! Lots of fun to jam along to and cheaper then a set of strings!
