I'm looking around for a new bass amp, and there's a few SVT2 Pros going for around $1200-$1300 used. Then I spot one going for $358, and it's a non pro model. Too good to be true?!

Yeah, it's a scam.

They sell lawn equipment and guitars. Where else can you buy a weed whacker and an Orange amp in the same shop? The website is AI city.

The reviews say it's a scam.

I want an Ampeg SVT II (Non Pro) for $358 though.

Lmao, they didn't even try with that AI slop. I like the acoustic 6 string with the Fender 4 string bass headstock

What kind of amps are those on the wall? Madarll? Merhall?

One looks like it says Mololok!

Timeless brands. I know when I need some weed trimmer string or paint...it's always fun to stop in the music section of the hardware store and play a few tunes on the Talyler Acoustics they have.

They're listed on Google as a repair shop too. They can restring you bass and your string trimmer, provided they don't mix up the strings.

Where else can you get new tubes for your amp and your lawn mower in the same place,

I was looking for a guitar that's no longer made, for several years now; not seeing any used ones for sale in the last several months either. I looked again recently and one popped up, listed as brand new, but the site looked strange, and I couldn't find an address, so I asked Google AI, and it said it was a scam site...they were "selling" all kids of things, and I clicked on the "music" link which was not directly available from the main site URL,..

The first warning was when it listed the guitar in stock and brand new which I'd probably have seen before, and the price was too low, etc.,

if it's too good to be true, verify first.

Bezo,

Any interest in a Mesa Carbine M6?

I have a whole Mesa rig I need to sell. The M6, a Mesa 212, and a Mesa 215. Old school cabs with the black metal grills.

A while back I was checking online for recent used prices for some guitars I own .

Then I found pics of a guitar that I took in my back yard .

Some scam site lifted my pics off the internet and was using them to sell the guitar.

My guitar is a not very common 2003 Epiphone Elite LP Custom that sells used for about $1400 -$1800 depending if all original, condition, and OHSC.

These scammers were selling the guitar on sale for $146 .

I did notice that all the guitars they had on their site were all Epiphone guitars, and all under $300.

I think selling something under $300 is the magic number they can get away with.

The buyer purchases the guitar , never gets it and reports it to the CC company to get their money back .

The CC company writes it off as it’s too small an amount to try to track these scammers down.

If any of you guys own an Epiphone, do a search for a guitar for yours for sale, and search images of that guitar.

There’s a good chance if you’ve posted pics of your Epiphone online, the scammers might be using your pics to sell it.

I wanna stick with the Ampeg stuff. It's been my sound for 20+ years now, and I don't wanna start over.

I almost hit you up when you had the Dan Briggs Spector though. I regret it now because I'm using a 5 string in this band.

Totally understand, your sound is your sound. The Briggs bass was nice! I still have a couple of killer Warwick 5-strings. I've not yet been able to bring myself to sell them. Soon though, they're just collecting dust.
