why? 

Well I love flying Vs and I think an upper fret scalop would help all my old arthritic fingers to dig in for bends easier.

If you ever think about getting rid of it let me know.

Recently while shopping for PA gear I found that Music-Go-Round had better prices than CL 90% of the time.

And then there's this guy:

http://austin.craigslist.org/muc/5479042265.html

These ads pop up from time to time.

As a hired gun as well as a past and present band leader, it is laughably stupid.

Ocean of Stars can't always take gigs as some of the players have other gigs that night. Myself included.

I don't get pissed off at them. I WANT them to play as much as possible because that's what they do and the more you play the better you get.

Maybe if the original poster's band was more worthy of people's time, he'd shut the fuck up and stop posting bullshit.

Does he work his day job for free for the love of whatever he does? Hell no. You gotta pay the bills. Hired guns are musicians who are so dedicated to music they've made it a career and can't always play for fun/free. But still do on occasion with the right situation.

Some of the bands I'm in id probably play for free because I love being involved. But they give me some money anyway because they know this is what I do and as a gesture of appreciation for taking the time to help them realize their musical vision.

People are weird.

WTF in a good way!

http://cleveland.craigslist.org/msg/5508605486.html

Wanna be the loudest person at band practice? Wanna piss off every sound guy in Cleveland? Opening for Toby Keith at Blossom and/or Midnight at Now That's Class? This rig can handle it, because it's 200 watts of eardrum-splitting, vintage Peavey power from Peavey's best era.

This head was made in 1975, the same year that Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Nuthin' Fancy" came out. That album featured Ed King, who himself played a Super Duper Festival Series Roadmaster back then! How's that for useless trivia? (and while I don't think Ed King played this particular amp, I can't say for certain)

Anyway, this baby was serviced in December 2015 at which time a matched quad of Sovtek 6550WE tubes were installed. The head itself is rated at 3 ohms (weird, right?), and can safely run a 4 ohm cab or a 2 ohm cab.

Speaking of cabs, this one is road-worn but functionally sound, and rolls nicely on Ernie Ball casters. It is loaded with $320 worth of speakers in the form of four Eminence Red Coat Private Jack 12"s. When it's paired with the Roadmaster head, these speakers move SERIOUS AIR! I have this cab wired down to 2 ohms, just like the original Roadmaster cabs were.

I'll separate the two - $500 for the head, $300 for the cab. The pair goes together for a firm $725.

NO TRADES unless you've got a reasonably solid '90s GM B-body station wagon (Caprice, Roadmaster, Custom Cruiser). I might throw cash down for the right one.

Jake, you don't happen to have a solid 90's GM B body station wagon laying around the yard do you???

Please Read;
I understand that there are people who have never seen or played one of these guitars but I have to limit access to serious buyers so I will require a $100.00 non refundable charge from anyone who wishes to view, inspect and play this guitar.
The $100.00 will apply to the total price upon purchase.
This guitar is for sale in Santa Fe only.

The price is firm.

$38,000

During 1935 there were 88 D-28's made.

I have examined the attached photos of the instrument described below, but have not seen the instrument itself. Below is my estimate, based on these photos, of the instrument's value; however, it is not possible to judge from photos alone the exact state of originality and need of repair, so my appraisal is only accurate insofar as the photos are representative of the actual condition of the instrument.



We certify the instrument described below is, in our opinion, a Martin style D-28 acoustic flattop guitar, made in the year 1935.



Description: We have been provided the following information: "Martin D-28 SN 61176 The fretboard, nut, bridge and bridge plate have been replaced. The neck and sides have been refinished during a drop repair that cracked the lower bass bout and the bass side of the neck from the nut to the third fret. These repairs are stable. The neck heel was cracked and repaired during a neck reset during 1979. That is the only reset that has been done. The top center seam has been splined, other top cracks have been worked on and are stable. The back crack is the same. The top and back finish is original. Tuners are Gotoh 512 21-1 ratio. Interior of guitar is not clean, showing excess glue etc. There are no cracked or damaged braces. The bridge plate is maple in good condition and slightly larger than stock. Work needed; The guitar is playable but it needs a neck reset. The bridge has been shaved and needs replacement. It is not an oversized replacement. Professional attention would greatly benefit this guitar. This guitar has been in storage in a double strength Calton case with a Colorado Case cover for the last eight years, de-tuned and rarely played." Serial number: 61176. The owner has stated that this instrument has undergone numerous repairs and restoration, as stated in detail above. Upon examination we note that a metal strap button has been added to the heel. In other respects, this instrument conforms to the typical specifications of the model for the period in which it was made with dreadnought size body, Adirondack spruce top with scalloped bracing, Brazilian rosewood back, sides and peghead veneer, nitrocellulose tortoise-shell grain pickguard, classic "5-9-5" soundhole rosette, multiple bindings on the top and back edges of the body with herringbone wood marquetry top edge trim, "zipper" pattern wood marquetry back stripe, mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, "slotted diamond" mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, gold-colored "C.F. Martin & Co." peghead decal, and other typical style 28 appointments.





Current market value: $40,000 (forty thousand dollars)

You gonna get that Racerx? It would look good in your youtube vids.

Even if I had $38,000, that would be a ridiculous purchase.

I'm no collector—I paid $500 for my most expensive guitar.

Guy Fieri themed hardcore punk band - need people (Knoxville)

Yeah that's right. A Guy Fieri themed hardcore punk band (ala Black Flag and stuff of that era, not fucking Silverstein or whatever you wankers listen to these days). We will all dress like Guy Fieri and sing about cheeseburgers, deep-fried spaghetti lard loafs, and shit.

Need a drummer, guitar or bass, and singer. The fatter and more like Fieri you look the better.

Don't be offended if you are not selected, not everyone is gangster enough to be in Fieri.

No druggies, let's be honest, you won't be fat enough for Fieri if you are doing that shit.

https://www.punknews.org/article/64893/famous-punk-rock-artifact-for-sale


What we have here, simply put, is the best used pallet jack in the history of pallet jacks. A testament to human kind's ability to create near magical artifacts to help us in our adventures. It's pretty much the best used pallet jack in the universe, despite being painted yellow. It can lift 5000 lbs. FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS! Good Lord. Frankly, I'm surprised it doesn't have a name like "Excaliber" or "Lifty". "Jackie" would have been too obvious, so we never went there. There is nothing wrong with it...we are only letting it go because it's time for another to create whole worlds with this wonder.

I've included photos so you can see the majesty of it for yourself. I know to the uneducated eye she may not look like much, but she has it where it counts. If you have a pallet you need to move, a couple pumps of this handle, and BOOM...this will pick it right up and move it right out of your way like it was nothing.

Glorious. It's not even made by aliens either. Humans made this. Not just any humans either, AMERICANS. Back when that meant something. They saw that humans couldn't lift 5000 pounds on their own, and said, "NOT ON MY WATCH!!" and thus, the Pallet Mule was born.

God damn, it's really something. Let me know if you have any questions. $200 obo. Buyer must pick up.
