Sorry for not answering sooner. No I don't know anybody who can help me with the installation. And as you said the installation price would just about double the price of a basic alnico. And secondly there is only one repair person in my area and I have had some problems with his work so it's a...

Btw, I downloaded the manual for the amp and there appears to be a mistake. It says correctly for the use of the 0dB input "Connect your bass guitar here by means of a shielded instrument cable. If your bass has active electronics or high output pickups, or if the Peak LED illuminates at low...

Hold on ... I may need your thoughts on buying a used car.

Well I guess this post has reached the finish line. I went ahead just now and drove the 50 or so miles to the parking lot of the seller's apartment. A college-age person came out (there is a private college about a half mile away). He handed me the bass head. I handed him the money. I drove...

I don't need a head but I would like to make use of my repurposed Rumble 200 that was converted into a cab. Plus it will be a LOT easier generally to sell a head with a cab I've found. But no I don't really need another bass head. But why not?

Don't attempt to live my life and I won't tell you how to live your life. I can do what I want if I have the money and the time.

My thoughts exactly. The loss of potential income is not worth the loss of time waiting for buyers who never show up or want to renegotiate the price upon their arrival.

I don't trust used from GC ... but it has a great return policy. What I do is to make a screen grab of the item for its condition and have it sent to my local store where I can test it out in front of a human person. Then if it is bad I get my money back. And I have gotten some duds that way...

Ok now I'm angry. I sort of caved and said I'd buy it for $100 right out with no testing ... and this is after he dropped the price to $130 throughout FB Marketplace. He just answered me and for me he want to RAISE the price back to the original $130!!!! Maybe he's angry at me for our...

Sadly. so true.

I do think you're right about just giving him the money and making like a tree and driving home. I haven't talked to him. I checked his FB page and a pic shows him playing a bass and he said he was in a band so I'm guessing either the band broke up and he has this item or he still plays bass...

True. That is why I think he has offered to give me the amp for half price and then let me test it at home and then send him the rest if it works. No discussions on what happens if it doesn't work. He has also offered to send it to me but I'd have to buy the shipping. Again no discussion of...

Ok, folks. Based upon the totality of your responses I have passed on this deal. The seller then said I could pay half and take it with me and then if I liked it (?) pay him the rest. Huh? That does sound weird. Then he has offered to ship it to me but then increase the price a bit. It only...

No I don't want stolen goods. You are mistaking what I said but I do see where you could feel that way. But for the record I am NOT "fine" with buying stolen goods and I would never do that but when we buy anything ... even from a store ... isn't there a chance the item was stolen? But I agree...
