    Worst craiglist experience ever.

    Craigslist provides a way to connect with someone. The terms of the sale are made by the seller. If someone says first come first serve, that's one thing. If someone says, they'll hold it for you if you agree to pay X price and then you drive 4.5 hours to get it and they sold it.. that's a...

    Worst craiglist experience ever.

    I was just saying that as an expression of my level of frustration. I have no intension of file a claim... though if you do a search for "craigslist small claims", you'd be surprised at some of the stuff people have taken to court.

    Worst craiglist experience ever.

    Well, it did compromise my vacation, leaving a day early. A verbal agreement doesn't require a deposit or something tangible to "seal" the deal (my roommate is an attorney). But I agree with you, I'm not going to sue or anything. But it's obnoxious that I was going to be paying him extra money...

    Worst craiglist experience ever.

    This is what happened to me last week. I sent an email to this guy saying I was interested in the bass he was selling. He gets back to me and says he has a bit of a hectic schedule but he'll call me later. I don't hear anything.. so wednesday I sent him another email.. nothing. I went out of...

    Best bass envelope filter?

    Just got the Source Audio BEF Pro. Been playing with it for about 2 hours. This thing bananas. Out of the box, plugged into the bass, I found it to be so so and not super interesting. Start tweaking the settings and pumping some other effects through the filter and this thing starts to take on a...

    Source Audio Club-

    Yea. I'm sure. You know how it is when you are waiting on a new pedal. 3 - 4 days seems 'like' forever, 2 1/2 weeks is forever. But yea, I gotta be patient. I don't mean to bad mouth 8th street or anything. Though, it is depressing to keep looking over at this hot hand, constantly being reminded...

    Good luck with that. They are one of those retailers that doesn't report backorders. I sat waiting for a week and a half. Finally shipped but of course they sent it some super discounted UPS and it's been over a week in transit. 3 days after it shipped I ordered a wireless hot hand from another...

    Any of you bands ever get an email like this?

    It's wrong to think that everything should be free. This is the type of stuff that a label would be paying for to help expose their band. However, in the current environment where we see people try to make it on their own, throwing down $2000 for some exposure may not be a bad thing. Bottom...

    Source Audio Club-

    I ordered the BEFP yesterday. Haven't been this excited about a new pedal in awhile. The analog / digital thing is moot when it comes to stuff like this. You just aren't going to get this level of customization and options out of an analog pedal, period. For me it's more that that character...

    How long is too long?

    I'd start gigging. At gigs, people come out of the woodwork who want to play with you. So chances are, once you get out there, you'll find your keyboardist if you still feel the need to add one.

    Can’t play here unless you draw 75 people or more!

    Also, if they can keep their calendar booked with bands that have decent followings, why would they free up space for a band that isn't going to bring any audience? With original music you really want to have fans there that are really into your music, creating a positive environment for new...

    great merch ideas

    Keychains would be something I'd buy, especially if it was of the bottle opening variety. Hand screenprinted posters go over well. Number them and sell as limited issue. Embroidered patches. Depending on the type of music and the average age of your audience, you could do something like dog...

    Strange goingsons while I'm gone...

    Did they get kicked out?

    Strange goingsons while I'm gone...

    +1.. or at least a little jealous. Also 22 - 30 isn't really that big of an age gap (the married part is a problem though). My fiance was 21 and I was 27 when we started dating. We've been together over 4 years and going strong. (I know you were talking about her bf and not your...
