I bought this strat on an impulse buy, don't need it. = I watched Eric Johnson Cliffs of Dover video and this strat doesn't sound like that.

My personal favorite is the Buddy bump:

For Sale Insert RT flavor of the month here)

Buddy bump: I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS STILL HERE!!! Somebody needs to buy this!= I told him that thing was heinous POS before he bought it, but he is my bud so I am conspiring with him to fuck over an unsuspecting buyer.

Gotta bump this comment for a great guy.

I can't believe this hasn't been quoted yet!

I was going to bump it but all of my bumps are tied up in other threads.

Killer amp! Billy, Joe, Bob, Richard, Mike and I all had it at one time or another and agree!

No translation needed.

 

[GtarLover]

Thank god this all this is in one thread.

I didn't want to have to take notes

 

[boost]

Turns out I'm not a Tele guy = exposed every shortcoming I had

Not working for me = doesn't sound like it did in the Pete Thorn video

 

[jlbaxe]

Great amp, but I find I use a 2007 Fender Strat into a 65 SoHo amp for all my video demos

You would think they would read the words they are typing..

Great amp, I'm the 9th owner.

 

[rocknrolla]

"Comes with the case candy" = "I never read the owner's manual, used the correct truss rod wrench, or the correct mounting hardware and that's probably why I haven't lost it and am including it in this sale."
"Case candy". What a stupid fucking name.

 

[bananaladonpcp]

I am dying. This thread is great.

 

[guitarmike]

If you are not fooled by all of the "reasons" someone has to sell a particular piece of gear, would you buy an amp from a guy if he said "I bought the amp thinking it would nail early _______ tones. With the rest of my gear it doesn't. It is a well built amp but I do not like the way it sounds. I am selling it for 30% off what I paid."

Would buy from an honest description or not??

 

[electrophonic.tonic]

Makes my strats scream= I goose my stompbox
This Tele just screams = I goose my stompbox
Nails the Brown sound= I have to dime the treble and presence and now it sounds too harsh in my basement
Big, fat, earthy= too loud, too jangly
