What's with all the AFD-100's for sale?

Apparently Barzini loves his. He's owned a ton of different amps and mods and the AFD is his favorite so far.

I have a Hedge O Marshall's right now, and I like the way my AFD sounds (I could give a shit bout slash)

Some people wanna emulate da man, you know, Slash himself. So they subconciously fall into the trap that having a Les Paul and now this amp will give them the edge to be 'that much closer' to playing, sounding and emulating Slash. That's the purpose of a LOT of signature gear. Fact is, as I am certain many of us here have realized time and time again, new gear doesn't make us new players. Great gear doesn't make us great players. Oh, sure sure, it's about 'tone', that's the 'rationale' behind a lot of these siggy gear sales, it's about quality and workmanship and blah blah blah...

No. It's marketing. And when the penny drops and cats realize the amp still makes the mistakes sound just as loud and just as apparent, the magic disappears, and the mojo is gone. Resale.

Peace,

nicely put.

i recently posted in one of ola's vid comment section that a good player can make any piece of gear sound good.

100% agreed!!!

TAG - Total fucking douchebag who owned a Dumble, posted it everywhere, and is now banned everywhere. Delusional, sad, creepy little man.

While I can neither confirm nor deny any of that, he did give Ralphie and me a KILLER deal on a Mesa MkIII coli head...

And he did post a lot of clips and he can play.


And why are people selling their AFD-100's? Who cares.

As someone who is considering buying an AFD-100 at some point and probably won't be able to try one out a head of time, I care. Hence this thread.

I can confirm it. The Coliseum is by far my favorite Mesa ever made.

Let me explain. I see threads a lot where someone is selling something, say amp X. And owners of amp X come in thread and say "great amp" but then ask why the guy is selling it and what is replacing it. I say, why bother asking? If you love your amp soo much why care what someone is doing? If owner of Amp X sells it to buy a Krank will someone else jump off the same bridge?

And if everyone loves their Amp X why are they busy looking at the classifieds and at the ads of the amp they like so much? Shouldn't they be busy playing it and not looking at the classifieds in the first place?

I wasn't pointing a finger at you but just bringing up the nature of forum trends. In your case I do see the point of getting info on the amp.

Thanks for clarifying. As far as looking at the classfieds. I unfortunately do that even when I am not looking. I like to see what people are selling I guess and induce GAS.
