yeah, I got this from a friend.

don't know if it's a joke or for real. maybe the guy is in desperate need of cash or moving out of the country?

anyways, check it out, it's insane!!!

BLS, jump on this deal!

__________________

fuck yeah, at least send the guy a mail to check it out.

I want that cab for 300 bucks, dammit...

also, the ritchie blackmore is pretty damn badass if you mod it a bit with different tubes

DAMN, If I sent an e-mail... pray for me!

__________________

hurry up man, send that email! if this is real, you could sell it for way more if you didn't like it. (I doubt it though)

I wont be selling it...

The sound bytes on Derek's site are AWESOME!

Something must be up.. but I hope not.

somethings gotta be broken in it, or this guy got all this shit from someone (a death perhaps?) and doesnt know shit about it

'Tis a scam, too much good shit going for too good of a price....or at least it seems like it.

I wont be leaving my computer until he replies..

Much thanks for the heads up Def!

And hows he going to scam me? I'll be picking it up if I buy it.

__________________

yeah, I know. it doesn't seem right but if it is, it's a golden deal.

you're welcome honey, I hope it's for real, you'de get the best deal on the fucking planet!

If it's real and you get to pick it up, bring some guys from the gym or something to be sure, if he tries to mug you, kick his ass and steal his amps!!!

Just make sure you carry the proper "protection" (no not that), in case the guy something he's not supposed to be...(not that either)

You know what I mean.

i hope that's for real... hurry up and jump on that shit bls..

ask him how much for the ORANGE too.. if he's selling an engl cab for $300 and a ritchie blackmore for $450, hopefully he's selling the orange for dirt cheap too. cuz then you could be a buddy and buy if off him and sell it to me.

sorry, i'm a sucker for orange amps. i saw that shit and was like "hey an orange!"

Yeah this is Chicago, you gotta watch urself...

No you dont...

it's not san fransico silly

and an assplug is prettymuch defeating it's own purpose.. putting something in your ass to keep someone from putting something in your ass?

__________________

holy fucking fuck, a blackmore for 450?

id be fighting BLS for it, if i just had more time

don't worry about me man, theres no way i could buy this right now


but holy fuck!

Haha I was actually being serious, but I'm not saying anymore, I'm not jinxing you!

I'm sure you could "handle things".

ah well, whatever makes BLS feel safe!

keep us posted, I want to know if this is for real. keep in mind I got this from another american dude and he emailed him too, though he's from the westcoast so I don't know whats gonna happen. if you can pick it up, it'de be a better deal for the seller I guess.

Ive sent two e-mails.. no response yet. Ill keep you all updated.

Good luck....and you're correct....no need to worry about a scam....you're going to get it firsthand so no biggie.

Whenever I purchase a Sportbike from someone, I meet them "heavily armed".
They never know it, but I do.

Silly Americans with their pea-shooters.

But yes, it's good to carry some sort of back-up.

yep cause the black market for illegal sportsbikes can get damn dirty

__________________

Looks like this will be mine, heres the repsonse he sent

"I bought the amp a few months ago but never gigged with it.... yet.
I've got my fair share of
decent amps and cabs so I never really even needed it. I think I bought
it cuz I'm a Ritchie
Blackmore fan and couldn't pass it up. The amp and cab are in perfect
working order and show no
cosmetic flaws either. I'm out of town until Sunday so let me know if
you'd like to check it out
next week.

David"

did the guy buy it used? (if he bought it new he's retarded, he's losing 1000 bucks there lol)

sick man, keep us posted!!

and remember, if you get the amp, you owe me a sixpack of the best beer you can find!!!

Man, that cat must have money to burn.

Hell with the money I save and can buy you 60,000 sixpacks!

haha, for sure, so you'de better send some booze over here if you get it

good luck man, it would be the most insane deal ever!

holy fucking mother of god that's an awsome deal

damn BLS.. if i weren't saving for a car, u might of had some competition.

__________________

I just sold a 6 space rack case, a dual 15 band eq, a bbe sonic maximizer, and soon my Triple X 4x12 cabinet in order to afford this.

Their's no way im going to pass up this deal because "I cant afford it"

I can always rebuy that shit later... althought the rack shit was completly useless to me.

__________________

ah well, once you get this, you won't even remember your other shit man, those Engl cabs are badass and they go for 8-900 new here (the v60 ones) used are about 5-600 since they're pretty rare.

the blackmore goes for about 1000-1200 used but this is all in Europe, I bet they're more expensive over there. anyway, keep us posted, if you get it, you're one lucky motherfucker!

And yeah, I think a lot of rackshit is useless, thats why I sold mine, its all about having a good guitar and a good amp, the rest is in your fucking fingers man.

wasnt your rack just a preamp+poweramp rig?
imo, those are vital pieces, whether they're in a head or rack.

__________________

that wasn't the only rack I owned

what about your 5150?

he'll keep it for sure but hed be a moron to pass that up if he had the cash

do you have another cab?

__________________

What about it? Ill never sell it.




Of course.

__________________

try running them stereo?

no

__________________

so did you get it yet? the suspense is killing me.

a block letter 5150 like bls has is something to hold on to... imo anyways.

are you just keeping your ms412? or did you ditch it? are you
buying that engl cab?

__________________

He said he gets back tommorrow and will send me an e-mail so we can arranage sometime for me to try it out and possibly buy it.
The Triple X cab is one ebay, I just need to sell it for $250.. which will be easy. Im not sure about the MS412, I dont think its even worth it to sell it.. I wont get much.

I want to buy the cab, but it all depends on how much shit I can sell

__________________

you shouldnt have much trouble selling that triple x for $250, you could probably even get a little more out of it.

damn, ask if he's willing to ship anything, i might be interested in some shit.

__________________

didnt def say that it sounds better through a 1960 then the actual engl cab?

__________________

No, Def said the Ampeg cab sounded better with his ENGL than his 1960.. and that the ENGL cab is a completly different monster.

I guess i'll see if I can sell the MS412, As long as I get $!50 for it then I'll be happy..

I would REALLY like that ENGL cab.. I'll just have to sell alot of shit to afford it.

__________________

BLS ill buy the cab off you but I cant Buy It Now at this moment because I need to make sure this coming paycheck will pay for it. Send me an email or AIM me and ill pay the whole $300 plus shipping.
Hopefully someone doesnt buy that cab before you see this .

Here's the latest e-mail I've gotten.

"I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, my travels on the road were extended and email was
not an option until now. Anyway, yes the Engl amp & cab are still for sale and to answer your
questions, they are both in perfect shape - both cosmetically and operationally.

As you can tell by the selling price, I'm not interested in making a profit on these, I just want
to clean up my space and pass on to others what they may be able to get more use out of than
myself. This amp is loud, and in my opinion it's a better choice than a Marshal. I'm returning to
Chicago on Sunday and can show it as early as then.

Some of you were only interested in the amp, and some in just the cab. My first inclination is to
sell these as a combo unit but if I have a buyer for each piece then I'm willing to split them.
Again, the gear is in perfect shape and the price is firm so don't reply unless you're serious.

The gear is in my studio located near Sacramento & Grand, I'll forward directions when a date and
time are set. You can either bring your own axe or jam out on one of mine(Gibson SG, Cort
Strat-copy)."

Since I want to buy the Head and Cabinet I have a very good chance of being the buyer I'm just awaiting his reply to set up a time for me to try and buy.

and BTW both cabs are sold.

"Though I'm technically not home til Sunday, I'm swinging through town and into my studio tonite
but back out on Friday morning until Sunday. Long story short: if you can make it in tonite then
great you get a sneak preview, otherwise it'll have t wait til Sunday.
Lemme know"

Of course I cant make it out to Chicago tonight..

Actually alot of news, which I'll get into after I finally get this damn thing.

Im just too lazy to cut and paste e-mail, explain.. blah blah.

thats it, im gonna turn into a bat...

/n00b mode off

BLS: Ok, I'll bring the van tomorrow to pick it up. Anyway, why are you selling it so cheap?

Seller: What? It ain't cheap, it's almost the new price.

BLS: Errr... uhh... I think I'll go rent a truck just now, just hold on for a...

Seller: Wait a minute, let me check...

(few minutes later)

Sorry to keep you waiting, I just found out I missed one digit when I checked the price, it was handed to me by my uncle so I didn't have an idea. So, will you pay that extra $1000 in cash?

BLS:


Lousy humour aside, this scenario's been in my head from the instant I read this thread.

that would suck the most ever

It would have been funny if BLS hadn't sold all his shit. I'm hoping all went well, otherwise we're going to have us an angry, angry little boy.

One the guy gets back from playing some out of state shows,I'll finally be able to pick this thing up.

Even if I dont end up with this.. cabinet are only cabinets, I still have my 5150.. which is all that matters to me.
