Just got this message:

Nick, my guys have shot some photos of the rear of the head before getting it boxed back up. We will get them together--out of the carmera--and I'll send them over sometime tonight or tomorrow. There's really not much to see, as we kind of understate condition aspects so people are surprised with what the receive. Hey, we're players and audio addicts at bottom, so we pretty much get the psychology of it all. What is bothersome is the little anal retentive stuff. I mean, I do understand the whole fear-factor element of buying online from complete and total strangers. But all this stuff is just gear. Some of these guys get so wrapped up in the absurdity of `knowing' what an item is like, this from miles and miles away via a virtual medium, that they fail to get the illogical premise of their position. And, brother, life is much too short to humor those who take such crap that seriously. I mean, for those who NEED to know ever square inch of a this or that, they should stick to retail and pay the added 40% mark up for the piece of mind of being able to touch and see the actual item in person. The way I see it, and I have a buyer's account and purchase around 20 grand in gear for the studio every month mind you: if you're working with well-established sellers who know their stuff, that's as good as it gets on ebay or Craig's list. In the case of this Revision 2, it's a little different only because people who are about a R-2 are actually people who KNOW a little something--they have experienced different revisions and have a preference for the II. That is something I personally dig; as it shows more than a mere mindless jerl-around of the seller. For example, I do ask sellers if the Joe Meek unit is made in the UK or China, for example, or if the Lexicon PCM 91 is a USA-build or is assembled in China. I also have a preference for older Diezel VH4 heads, so I like to know the age. And with Manley Voxbox and Vari-mu's, the versions can have a serious impact when retubing

Looks like I'll be getting pics and we'll know for sure what's happening.
He needs to make up his mind, talk about flip-flopping!! Either the details we know and see with the amp are important or they are not. I guess it's only important if he's buying it vs. his selling it. There is a difference between the Rev2 and the Rev Blue, don't let anybody fool you on that.
 
"the illogical premise of their position" :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: "the absurdity of knowing what an item is like" :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: Better get some coffee brothers, this could take weeks :D
 
I dont see the problem with KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE BUYING?!?!?!?!?
What is this guys problem?? :gethim:
 
This is what I just got back from him:

"Would you like to wager $500.00 on that opinion? Or are your balls as feable as your opinion?"

And he adds this to the Q&A in his auction!!

:hys:

Holy shit this is too good! :lol: :LOL:
 
Didnt he admit in the last auction that it might be a REV BLUE?

hahaha......
what a jackass.... :thumbsup:
 
This is what I'm thinking about sending him:

I'll save you the $500 and ask you to stop being an arrogant prick. Do you see those 4 little blue bias test points that are clearly visible in your pic of the rear of the amp? You gotta look through the grille. Those 4 blue test points, along with the loop level control, small LED power on indicator and BLUE colored circuit boards on the inside make it a REVISION BLUE. You can argue the point until you are REVISION BLUE in the face, or you can look at what I'm telling you about this amp and realize you are wrong. Look under Hand Built in the U.S.A on the rear panel, bet it says "Revision Blue".
 
Better be careful......
He might think you are an Amp and either Blow you up....or snort you.... :aww:


:lol: :LOL:
 
or worse, he could put you in a large spoon and liquify you over a flame and run you up :D

Got my reply:

THERE ARE NO BIAS TEST POINTS ON THIS CHASSIS, GENIUS!!!!! You people are morons of the highest order and it is YOU who are an arogant asshole for assuming to tello ME what the hell I have in front of me. I own 5 Bogner's and have had 12 over the years. I know a Rev-II verses the Blue--WHICH I ALSO AM SELLING IN A DIFFERENT AUCTION, IDIOT!!!!

For me?? If I got the grief he did from last auction. I would of ripped that box open and at least checked it out. Not tell people it "really doesnt matter" as long as it sounds good???

And I CERTAINLY wouldnt re-list it as the previous auction. :thumbsdown:

The guy counterdicts himself each time he writes something. Just keep reading his replies.
Freaking insane! :lol: :LOL:
