Some of you might hate me for this...(rare Boss pedal content)

...but I have to share [

]

The other day, I responded to an ad for a Boss Tremolo at a rather reasonable price. I thought it could be a PN2 and asked for the model name.

I got a quick mail reply; "Sorry, i got it wrong in the ad, it's no tremolo, it's a VB2 Vibrato"
[:0][:0][:0][:0][:0]

I asked if he had a picture of it (I've been scammed of a non-existing VB2 in the past) and that evening received a pic of a dinged but nice VB2. Needless to say I replied that i would be happy to buy it.

So, now I have my own VB2! Got it in the mail today and it works beatuifully -it really is a great sound not least for bass guitar!

And so...the price. I said it was resonable...might have been understating. I once bought a VB2 at a local music store for about 75$ and sold it on for over 400$...that time I thought it was just to expensive to keep around. This time it's staying on!

The price i paid?

[size=6]350 SEK = 50$ !!![/size=6]

Now, here it is:

Nice score!!!!

If it's just for the rarity then I can do better

Yeah, I do hate you...Why don't I get deals like that? Well done. Him 'upstairs', must have wanted you to have it.

Nice! Thats an amazing deal.

I'm glad someone who is going to keep it and use it got that deal, rather than someone who would just flip it.

Me, I would flip it

Now, that tells me you've never tried one; turned up the volume, closed your eyes, played that sweet "open-D w/3rd on the G-string" doublestop and just held that chord and let it vibrate.....vibrate.....vibrate.....mmmmm...

I remember that pedal. Wow, now that I think about it, I guess I haven't seen one in awhile. I didn't know they were so rare.

Heh,...Mikke, I saw your thread over at the Boss Area,...Nice score. For those who don't know the VB-2 was only in production for a short time (sources say a little over a year) and it took four years to sell the stock (1982-1986). It's a Japanese made pedal as well.

Likewise. I wish I'd either read this thread 4 years ago or had the one that was offered to me back then available today.
