Doesn't this price seem low to you?

I'm in the market for a new combo amp to practice at home, and this kind of seems to be too good to be true. I've generally not seen these under 150. I'm not sure if I should bother to check it out. What do you guys think?

 

[fenderhutz]

Get it. Do not delay.

 

[RandomEvent]

Srsly? Westside where I live is a part of the... less reputable side of town. Do I still not delay?

 

[fenderhutz]

I would call him to see if he's sketchy. He may just not know what it's worth or got it as a gift and doesn't care.

Ok. I'll take my friend with me, who's super tough and crazy, lol.

fenderhutz, if it does seem shaky, should I consider this:

Some of the reviews said they had to get uber repairs, so I'm not sure about it.

 

[fenderhutz]

Not a huge fan of the SWR LA line of amps.

What is it that you don't like?

 

[fenderhutz]

Muddy when the volume gets to any usuable level.

Ok, I'll call. I'm wondering if I should meet up public though. I don't wanna go to this guys house and die, but I also want something that works, lol. I'm probably being stupid though.

Edit: Well, it's available. So I'm swinging by the guy's house tomorrow at 11 AM to pick it up. Is there any precautions I should take for a craiglist transaction? I honestly don't know how these work, and like I said, I don't wanna end up dead or something. Yeah, I'm pretty paranoid I guess.

Those Bassmaster amps are pretty near bullet proof. Mine has been dropped down flights of stairs, off stages, out of vans during load up... still works and sounds great. $70 will get you a workhorse of an amp.

 

[fenderhutz]

That and Yorkville cabs/speakers sound very full IMHO.

 

[RandomEvent]

Yeah, I'm just gonna go in and out to get it. Bring my friend to help me lift it because I'm not down with physical exertion. I gotta wake up early though, cause he's gotta pick up his kids for X-Mas eve. It should be worth it according to what I'm reading and hearing though.

Just take cash and your friend.... and your bass to make sure the amp works and sounds ok.

Remember a cable!!! If your bringing your bass, take a cable with you. You'll need to be able to hook up to the amp.

So if the amp is stolen, chances are he won't have one. Hence, you'll need to bring your own.

You better jump on that now! I scored a 'practically brand new' Roland KC-60 keyboard amp for $50 off Craigslist! Some folks just wanna get rid of stuff!

+1. I've taken older gear to Goodwill that I no longer wanted and was too lazy to sell. That was before Craigslist was popular.
