Have I mentioned that I LOVE pawn shops ?!?

Made the rounds .... bought a Boom Bass 1215 cabinet for almost nothing. They had no idea what it was, and it'd been on layaway forever, so it was on the big big markdown.... and then I talked them down some more ! :D

Cabinet..... 30 day warrantee ... tax ......

........... $107 !!!! (They sell at MF for like $1200)

And it's in great shape... no tolex tears, just a nice cab ! Sounds incredible...... it'd been in the back since 2017 , they'd forgotten it !!!

:D:hyper::bassist::laugh::D

Pawnshops around here used to be ok, but they've all stagnated now.
They're asking too much for junk that just stays there like furniture.

I actually got burned the last couple of times I bought from pawn, so I've cooled my heels on going in there.
Not to mention I have the perfect gear right now, at least for my needs.

Congrats; nice find
I have that exact bass and it is great.
Limited addition MIM; supposedly less than 120 were made in that color.
If that cab could take 1600 watts RMS you could change the laws of physics :)
Pawn shops and used instrument dealers use eBay and Reverb around here; hard to get just an OK deal.
