More craigslist wtf!

[Dave J]

I saw this exact same ad in Chicago's Craigslist.  There is a ton of good stuff there, like the guy advertising for the Police tribute, looking for "degreed" musicians only, above the age of 37.

[Lip]

Seems legit
And yea - I guess that was an easy one... i'll never forget that line though... "I cain't see sheeit...cain youuu???!!"

[Jake]

There is no such thing as Epiphone or Squier on Craigslist. Only Gibson and Fender.

[RAGER]

And don't forget the ever present prefix of "vintage".  A squire ain't gonna be vintage for a long long time.

[The Shocker]

Usually spelled squire.  See above...

[Chovie D]

my favorite is "its not working at the moment but is an easy fix"...well  then fix it first mothrfucker, THEN sell it.

[Pissy]

I personally like

"Everything is perfect, except..."

Well then clearly everything is not perfect.

[Jake]

People seem to take liberties with what is "all original" here. For the longest time there was an older Jazzmaster on Denver CL that was listed as "all original" but footnoted a couple of modifications – one was that Dimarzio humbuckers were installed. Another slight modification was that it was sanded down and brush painted black.

Currently there's a Marshall amp being sold that "...is an all original 50 watt head from '76." But it started out as a combo amp that has been rehoused in a new smallbox chassis. That seems like a far cry from original to me. Sheesh. People.

I have never heard of a "Fender Stratocaster Drum Set" before, and I doubt I'll hear of one again:

This guy sounds solid. Really sells himself well.  Tibetan throat singing??  I'd be like "oh yeah.. well can you do Ronnie Van Zant throat singing?"

[dogfood]

Trannys and Rock go hand in hand.  Bet the dudes a hoot!

Weird Tranny Bassist looking for Weirdos To Make Weird Music (Denton)




Hi thanks for taking the time to read my ad!

so yeah, i'm a bassist in the area and an avid crossdresser lol it's fun.

So i've been having this itch to start up a weird rock, sort of punk, funk, crazy, off the wall, fun musical project for a while now. I've played around here for a while, currently have a great band i play with, but i'm a composer!! I must play as much cool music as I can, music I love to create. Music that doesn't really follow typical song norm conventions, just fun creative different music than some of the other artists you may hear around town.

My background in music is very ecclectic. Yes i have a degree in music, composition was my main focus. I listen to Death Metal. I can play the blues. Doowop and Oldies music is some of my favorite music to listen to. I like Justin Timberlake's music. I listen to Tv Themes recreationally. I'm all over the place. It's very hard for me to find something I don't like in all music.

Here's a short list of influential musicians in my life:
Les Claypool, James Brown, Weird Al, Peter Steele, Mike Patton, Trey Spruance, Frank Zappa, Dimebag Darrell, Max Cavalera, The Residents, Bootsy Collins, Peter Gabriel, Robert Fripp, Tony Levin, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, etc....

Music is my life. I am career minded. This is what I'm going to do with my life, and that is music.

If you're interested in jamming with me and the musicians I jam with, please feel free to write me an email with your contact information included, and we can go from there. ^.^

Have a great day!

He looks fun, I'd hit it.

[Ombrenuit]

"Here is this vintage tascam 8 track reel to reel I want $1000 for but I DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERTISE TO TEST THIS UNIT. ALL SALES ARE FINAL."

"Do all the channels work?"

"I DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERTISE TO-"

"Okay okay. Does it turn on?"

"I DO NOT HAVE-"

Seriously?

[RacerX]

By gum, you're onto something there!!

[lordfinesse]

Fender makes awesome drums. At least on par with Zildjian effects pedals and Chevrolet cymbals.

[RacerX]

Better than Takamine cigars or O'Brien's tequila, I'll bet.

[Chovie D]

fender made damn near every musical instrument at one point or another. I couldnt find a fender saxophone, so I guess the never bothered with brass.

[Lumpy]

Yamaha makes good quality musical instruments, plus ski mobiles, motorcycles and stereos, etc etc.

[Pissy]

A local dude in one of the bands around here sings and plays bass. He's got crap equipment, but both and the band as a whole are a riot and their shows are fun. 

Anyway, one night someone gave him shit for his Yamaha bass.  Dude says " Gibson don't make no motorcycle!"

[RacerX]

" Gibson don't make no motorcycle!"

Well...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 19, 2002)

Les Paul Indian guitar commemorates new Indian® Chief™ motorcycle

Bikers, rev your guitars. Gibson is celebrating the new Indian® Chief™ motorcycle with a limited-edition, Les Paul Indian guitar. The two-tone guitar from Gibson's Custom, Art & Historic Division has many of the same stylized features as the classic Indian Chief, including the signature war bonnet headdress, flowing chrome detailing and six custom color combinations, including a red/black metallic scheme reminiscent of the first Chiefs produced in the 1920s.

Kenny Olson, lead guitarist for Kid Rock and aficionado of classic motorcycles, played the new Les Paul Indian guitar on the mtvICON:Aerosmith show and was impressed with its performance. "It sounded like a seasoned Les Paul, with a fat bottom end and bright, perky highs," Olson says. "There's nothing like it, it's a beautiful piece of art. I was glad to be a part of it. I got a lot of phone calls after the show, telling me how cool it looked and how great it sounded."

A custom-made lacquered display wall cabinet, leatherette case with chrome hardware, Indian Motorcycle concho strap, and Certificate of Authenticity enhance the guitar's collectibility. Fine detailing includes the inlaid chrome die cast headdress and chrome fender molding on the body, "Indian" mother of pearl script on the fingerboard, engraved truss rod cover, and bead blasted back plates.

Only 100 made-to-order Gibson Indian guitars will initially be produced. All of the Chief's two-tone color combinations will be offered: red/black, blue/silver, black/cream, crimson/cream and copper/black.

The 2002 Chief sports a new Indian Powerplus™ 100 V-Twin engine, the first engine designed by Indian in 50 years and, at 100 cubic inches, it is the largest American OEM V-Twin engine. The signature serrated, billet-aluminum rocker boxes and black, rounded cylinders harken to the glory days of Indian's 102-year history.

"The Indian Motorcycle and Gibson Guitar partnership is a natural. Both brands have 100-plus year histories of classic design and outstanding performance," says Fran O'Hagan, Indian Motorcycle Sr. VP of Marketing and Product Management.

Gibson is known worldwide for producing classic models in every major style of fretted instrument, including acoustic and electric guitars, mandolins and banjos. Founded in 1894 in Kalamazoo, MI, and headquartered in Nashville since 1984, Gibson Guitar Corp.'s family of brands now includes Epiphone, Dobro, Kramer, Steinberger, Tobias, Slingerland, Trace Elliot, Maestro, Baldwin, Chickering and Wurlitzer. Visit Gibson's website at www.gibson.com.

Indian Motorcycle Corporation (IMC), based in Gilroy, California, was formed in 1998 to re-launch an American icon. The original Indian Motorcycle Company, which built the first American-made motorcycle in 1901, was a leading motorcycle manufacturer for almost 50 years. IMC currently designs, manufactures and markets three premium heavyweight motorcycles and a broad range of related products, parts, accessories, riding gear and lifestyle apparel.
