This person has had this ad up for months. Totally stock w/ an asking price more than he probably paid. Major cajones !

1998 Fender American Deluxe 5 String Jazz Bass - $1700 (pittsburg / antioch)
 
Here is a 40 year old guy looking to get in an LA band but does not play any instruments. Unbelievable.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]


Looking for band (West LA)
Early 40's and play no instruments. Can sing back-up, and can learn to play. I have taken lessons for piano, guitar, banjo.

Would like to be in a band to take advantage of mid-life crisis. Open to all music except for rap-hip/hop, but would consider.

Can/ will play whatever instrument needed, but will require some patience.

Funnny how he says no rap, but will consider ! Geeze Leweez.
 
Her...I googled around and found her site.
We can laugh all we want but if you view her Calender,
she has 7 gigs in the next 10 days.
That's a whole lot more than me.
Besides, that whole elfin-Vulcan look kinda grows on ya and
she does play one mean Ocarina.
And she owns over 200, that's more basses than I own, albeit an Ocarina is much cheaper

Not truly "dumb," but still funny...

Squeegee Twang
Looking to come up with a different sound. I will be the leader of this effort so all hail me. Please send me video and audio of yourself playing a squeegee. I will respond to perhaps 5% of you and then tell the rest that I am too good to lower myself to even meet you face to face. I will do this for the next 15 years until either I die or CL goes out of business. But I will keep posting. Oh yes I will.

I'm into tribute bands... (inner sunset / UCSF)
Hello!

I wrote a few nice paragraphs my first take to have craigslist "timeout", so now I am writing it all over again. This version is a little different than my first. Bare with me.

I can sing best with no instrument attached to me. So, The Strokes, The Darkness are up there on my "list to emulate".

If you know a whole album on guitar or bass, lets go that route. I am a big Kings of Leon "Becasue of the Times" fan, and wouldnt be opposed to play guitar or bass and sing on that one.

I have all the goods to rock, even an electric drum set. I think it would be kinda cool/conveinent to have a Macbook be our bass player, for instance, start the track and rock to it. Less pieces, ya know? For now, at least.

Please, gimmie a shout back and we can ******** about things. I am open. Im free most weekends, and morning-afternoons. I am a waiter/bartender downtown, 27 years old, easy-going dude, like meeting new people and rocking out! I moved to SF to rock, so rocking I must do!

Stoked! Thanks for reading. Lets see what we can come up with here!

There is a guy in the Indianapolis area that has been trying to sell (for months now) a 1990 jazz bass for $2,400. He also has no pics of the bass up either. :rollno:

Sounds like a case of wife or significant other says get rid of that thing. So the seller puts an ad on Craigslist that is guaranteed not to sell it. Then tells wife or significant other that I'm trying but it's just not selling. LOL

Smart! As long as they don't grab it one day and head to the local music store or pawn shop where they will likely buy it from her for $100 (if even that) and sell it for $400+ lol

Customized Les Paul For Trade - $1500 (Austin)
So this guitar is an awesome alternative to spending a ridiculous amount of money on a Gibson Les Paul.

This is a 2008 Epiphone Ultra 2 with the following changed on it:

- Both pickups replaced, neck pick up is a Gibson 57' Classic, bridge pickup is a P90 Have boxes for both pickups to verify....
- Added an American Bigsby in gold with the mounting equipment so holes would not have to be drilled as well as a rolling bridge.
- Replaced circuit board with hand wiring scheme and 1953 capacitors.

Highlights of the guitar are that it has a satin neck making the action very quick and a quilted maple chambered body design to give the guitar extra resonance.

This guitar has a very unique sound that screams vintage guitar.

WILL ONLY TRADE FOR AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR, it's hard to put a price on a project like this so I will not be accepting any cash offers on the guitar

What I'm looking for:
Gibson: J45 or Hummingbird anything along those lines
Taylor: 514CE and above (would consider a 414 depending on sound)
Martin: D18 or below.

Any other interesting acoustic you may have to offer will be considered.

Thanks for looking!

For comparison there's a black LP Classic in the local CL for 1200. Why buy the real deal when you can pay extra for an Epiphone?
