I'm sorry, but I don't see how this is a "scam". It's just a middleman shipping service. The buyers get an address to receive packages in the US, and the sellers don't have to deal with international shipping/customs. I'm sure with a service like that, the seller is only responsible for the...

Nailed it! That is the exact color. The one I'm looking at is a plain white pickguard, but same color. It's a 22 fret, I believe.

These are pretty much required for us at the places we play, if you want to sing and play at the same time. Without a wireless we get shocked pretty bad, so we use them for safety. I picked up an older X2, and after replacing the horrible stock bodypack cable, it's been solid as a rock. It...

So I've got a local craigslist seller nearby that has an interesting bass for sale, and I thought some of the gurus here might be able to help me ID it. He apparently has no idea of the details, but says the serial indicates it was made in 97-98. (He should send the serial soon) The pictures...

From a previous BL: *Out of the blue calls at 10:30pm* "I got us a gig" Me: Cool, when? BL: at 12:30 tonight (at a location 40 minutes away) Me: I'm busy tonight... This would happen at random odd times, and he was upset I couldn't make these last minute things. I tried to tell him to...

Good find Exploiter8 and StratHater, I didn't think to google the serial. Looking at comparisons, I'm thinking an Ibanez body on it. As for the neck, who uses a retainer bar like that? I'm curious to see what the frankenstien is made of.

This guy has this listed on a local craigslist as a "Fender bass", says he really doesn't know anything about it and bought it used about ten years ago. To me, I'm pretty sure it's some kind of fake, but I want to check with the hive mind here. Looks like a Peavey headstock to me, that...

How many guitarists does it take to change an LED light? 7. One to change it, and 6 to stand around reminiscing about how much better the old tubes were.

The band leader of a cover band I play with has a strange compulsion that anytime someone in the crowd yells Freebird, he has to play it. I've asked him to just let it go sometimes, but he just can't! It's like a bizarre superstition for him... :rolleyes:

Thanks for all of the replies all, I appreciate the input. So we had a phone version of a band meeting earlier and the bandleader backpedaled pretty hard. He agreed that it was a jerk move and will be paying us out of his pocket. He also promised that it would never happen again. At the time...

Hi all, I've been lurking here for quite some time but something happened the other night that I just had to get some opinions on. Long story short: I'm currently playing in a cover band that has become the de facto house band in a local bar. We all have day jobs and are just doing it for...
