Well, Apparently I'm on a hot streak. Between yesterday and today, managed to score a number of awesome deals.
We will go from least exciting to most exciting.
1 - Ampeg B2R Bass Amp - $50. Not much to say here. I got the amp for $100, seller said if there were any issues, he'd give me $50 back. It turns on and makes sound through speakers, but no input volume from the instrument. Hoping it's an easy repair so I can have a lighter bass amp kicking around than my Bassmaan 300 Pro or SVT Classic. Not that exciting
2 - Seismic 412 cab w/ 2 t75 and 2 v 30 speakers - $150. Had someone message me and ask if I would be interested in buying this cab. They needed quick money and always see me buying and selling. I said sure. He dropped it today and I had the t75 speakers sold for $120 within 2 hours. Will sell the empty cab and keep the V30 speakers for free. No complaints
3 - Peavey 412ms cab w/ K85 Speakers - $200. Spotted this one yesterday and immediately jumped on it. I actually would have loved to keep this for myself and build a second half stack, but in the end, a friend offered me $350 for it. Money talks. Short lived excitement, on to the next.
4 - Carvin Legacy Head - $400 - This is one I've been looking to try for a while, and people ask me about it all the time for the channel, so I pounced. Should be able to make a video and a couple bucks on the resell to invest in the next item.
5 - Marshall 425A cab - $500 - I am genuinely really excited for this one. I have wanted one of these cabs for the last 6 years or so. Not only is the deep purple tolex killer, but everyone gushes about the Marshall branded Celestion G12C speakers. Considering what these go for these days, this was an absolute steal. I will be keeping this one. I had 2 friends message me who work in studios say they went online looking for these cabs after I posted about it this morning and ended up buying them for much closer to $1k. Wild.
6 - The Crown Jewels....? 1984 Gibson Les Paul Custom and 2014 Gibson Les Paul 1960 Reissue - $4,600. Yet again, had a friend message me looking to unload a couple guitars quickly. They wanted money for a downpayment on a house coming up, and didn't want to fuss with dealing with shipping, local dickheads, etc. so they gave me a price they knew was a deal and seemed happy to have the money, so everybody won. The custom will probably get a refresh and stay with me. I had a couple Norlin customs prior to the pandemic but sold them because I wasn't bonding. Wanted another but the prices went through the damn roof. Considering where they're at right now, I got really lucky. I honestly am liking the R0 more but the custom needs some work, plus the 300k pots make it sound dead plugged in.
Pics to follow, but it was a good day for gear
