Congrats!

I know if I had the opportunity to buy Adam Jones' VH4, I might pay $4K-5K for it. But otherwise... I dunno. I bought my VH4 for $2500 from Guitar Center. Belonged to the old US distributor.

Crazy that the Ada preamp is 30 grande...

It's on a Make Offer thing. I doubt he gets that for the pres. They are the original Gish ones though.
 
Yeah unless a something special or personalized like a modded marshall from someone a little more major then I wouldn't do it. Maybe one of his modded strats would be better investment? But if it was a concert you remember and an idol I guess why not? I just wouldn't expect to recoup when you sell it but who knows? I remember about 6 months before Prince died one of his rackmount SLO's sold for about $2400. I wish I had the money for that at the time. Also a Lou Reed SLO before he died came up.

I heard Billy is selling off lots of old gear from previous albums now.

Why? Is he running KEMPER now?

Maybe, I think he´s been running the modular Randall/Egnater stuff live for many years so he´s obviously not totally married to the idea of carrying around a ton of amps.

This is what I was thinking too. How much would I pay for AJs blue face? Especially if he had used it at my first concert? Sounds about right.
 
Nice score! Wish I could justify spending big $ on some old Siamese or Mellon Collie gear.
 
does he play with so much gain??
my perception about his music (smashing pumpkins) is not so...
 
$4500 seems like a lot overall vs used prices where they can be had for $2400 - $2500 if you look around, but considering that's basically the new price for one and it was used at your first concert...why not? It's not that bad.

However, asking $30,000 for some used ADA MP-1 preamps that are probably ready to fall apart...well, that's a different story. I don't care if they were hand built by Jose with rare ore from Halley's Comet and used on every note Metallica ever played...there's no preamp worth that much... :D
 
Aw man... I would have totally have bought that LP Baritone. I remember trying one out back in 2004 or 2005 and loving it but was a total broke ass mofo then... Been searching and can't seem to find many for sale.
 
Yeah I'd like one of those Bogners. That Krank half stack is tempting too...
 
If I ran a forum it would be against the rules to talk shit about other people "over paying or paying too much" for gear because honestly I want people to contribute information, pics or clips about bad ass gear. People talking shit because in their "opinion" they think something is way overvalued and anyone paying "X" amount is stupid keeps people from talking about or sharing information about gear we normally would not hear about.

This is part of the reason you don't normally see big time artist or producers regularly contributing to online forums because of the shit they would get from haters or people who would never be able to afford high end gear which is a shame.

Also those 30k or 999k listing are looking for people to make serious offers, they obviously are not looking to get that price otherwise they would not have a best offer option available.

Awesome score on that Fish and that Diezel. I was actually looking at both of those. Congrats to the buyers and I would like to hear more about your purchase after you have a chance to play through them. :thumbsup:
 
FYI that Diezel actually both of them have a 98 serial so it's technically a blueface spec.

-(TRUTH)-!!!!!
-But a slippery slope, as we saw right here with -POLITICS-(DAMMED IF YOU DO, DAMMED IF YOU DON'T)-

-Congrats on the B. Corgan DIEZEL VH4- it'd be cool if Billy signed it, a COA or a pic with the amp.
