Drummer looking for Roadie
Roadie Needed!
Greetings potential roadies! If you want a career that guarantees a 6-figure income with lots of room for growth, you should NOT be reading this ad!!
If, however, you are hardworking, have a strong back, can follow extremely simple instructions, and suffer from an irrepressible work ethic, I have the right job for you!
In short, you will be helping out a drummer that has some aches and pains. I have a bad back, bad knees, shoulder problems, arthritis, and a few other conditions.
I need help moving and setting up my drums. I can play them just fine (not really; it hurts) but I really can't do the set up portion any longer.
I will pay cash and if I get free drinks at a gig I will be more than happy to give them to you.
I have a walk-in trailer that I transport my gear in. My entire kit fits on two carts. Everything is super organized and stands don't even need to be broken down for transport! How easy is that?!?!? If my body didn't hurt all over it would be easy!
I'll pay even more if you transport the drums in your own vehicle!
What will make you a great roadie for me are the following skills/traits:
You can handle your drugs and alcohol (preferably you are sober);
You know a little something about music;
You have knowledge of drums;
You are dedicated;
You are reliable;
You are not in a co-dependent relationship!
I only need you a few nights a month -- mostly Friday or Saturday nights. Most gigs would be from 8pm till 2am (standard gig times at bars).
Really, you only have a about 30 minutes of work total: 15 minutes setting up and 15 minutes tearing down. What you do in between set up and tear down, I don't care! Go home! Eat dinner! Watch a movie! Go out on a date! Take a nap! Or hang out and watch the band. It's up to you.
Now at this point you're asking yourself, "Why don't the dudes in your band help you set up?". I don't have an answer.

Wouldn't you think that if you're trying to score a couple of grand for one of your basses, you may want to consider taking a photograph where the image displayed is a clear representation of what it actually is?

Did they add those images since you posted that? Looks about like the images on one Guitar Center had listed for a similar price...
Somebody seems to have a sense of humor:

Triangle player looking to join rock band (Duluth)
Looking to join a Kick ass band or start one, I play one mean triangle . I have been known to play two at one time , if I get enough sugar in me and if it gets past my bed time . I become a little goofy. Really can't play gigs out of town as I ride the bus. I like acid rock and Adele played backwards . Not into the drug scene . Actual I don't even know where to get um.Band mates need be meet my mom first for her approval . Ya that sucks but if we want cookie and milk after a night of jamming , we do what we have too. Have a place if we need one to practice , that is if your not a scaredy cat and your afraid of heights. My old tree house that I converted into a jam hut . Heat plus and extension cord for a organ , if we can get one up there. Hit me up and let's rock out. Email only I don't want a parent intervention before we get off the ground

This one isn't a cl ad, just something dumb I heard when I was picking up my Warwick at the music store. There was this guy complaining about how bad the customer service was and the warranty was on an acoustic instrument he purchased (a $200 Ibanez). He was saying the neck split and the manufacturer wouldn't pay for a replacement. Why did it split, you ask? Well he took an acoustic instrument camping, increase in elevation of 4,000 feet, and the neck warped and cracked. Duh.
Not listing this 'cause it's dumb per se, but I read the line about wanting people between 20 and 30 and then look at the pic and think than none of them look over 18...maybe they need at least one person who can legally get into bar gigs, or something...

Is looking for a band that will have me. I have been noodling around for a few days. I think I can do this. I want to be a Rawk Star ( tried porno, but let's not go there). So I went out and bought me the best cheap gear my beer can collection money would buy and now after some meds and a few slugs of cheap vodka, I'm on it! Even though I am cross eyed, I have the image ( less the bad eye thing,epilepsy,severe bouts of depression brought on by my lack of self confidence and my conditions and the fact that after the porno thing I'm really needing this) .. But really I am the next big thing! Really! I have a really old bass and a big ass tube amp with two fifteens to hold down the one note root pulse that bass is meant for. Don't ask me to play any thing other than the root I hear in my head, cuz like I said, I just started to play.
If you can dig it, so can I.
Let's Rawk N Vomit ( just a side effect of me taking meds and drinking till I fall down. You will need to watch over me so I don't choke on my spew).
Cool??
Perfect! Hit me up!

This guy's been running this ad for months. Because, you know, musicians need to come in pairs, and can't possibly play otherwise:

4 string jazz bass guitar for sale. Squire by Fender. Plays really smooth, brand new strings. Guitar is like new, barely used/played, treated like gold, not a scratch on it. Took it to long and mcquade to be priced so $750 is FIRM. Only serious inquires, no "I'll take it for this much". Text ONLY, I will not answer calls.

LOL really! I wonder who at Long & McQuade (if he even really took it there) told him it was worth that much? What do those basses sell for new up there?
Nearest L & M is 100 miles away so I'm thinking they've never seen it. L & M sell the Affinity's for 180.00, Deluxe 5 string Jazz for 330.00 and Classic Vibe 60's for 380.00. I'm betting it's likely an Affinity Model.
So, did everyone else text him already? I'm tempted to. It won't be what he wanted, but the inquiry will be quite serious.
Maybe he called them and said I have a Fender Jazz bass how much is a used one worth but never told them it was a Squirer. 750 would be in the ballpark for a decent used MIA Jazz BASS.
