Lonnie Mack played the JC 120 in the latter part of his career. And he turned it up. Opened a couple shows for him back in the day when he came through Asheville. He sure made that thing sound good.

I swear there is a conspiracy by music retailers to buy up some used gear and just post it these used pieces at insane prices to drive people to just say "eh, I might as well just buy one new".
If there is, it's worked on this dummy.

I was just noticing that used USA Fender Stratocasters, a couple years old, a decade old, etc, are either the same price as a new one, or just marginally, superficially cheaper than a new one. On the mainstream auction sites.
The obvious question is: WTF?

These are ASKING prices. The question is, what will they take? |

No accounting for stupidity. Trying to "invest" in a market they don't understand, without knowing they're probably too late, anyway. |

I had an acquaintance who makes well into 7 figures recently ask me what gear would be "a good investment that may appreciate" because he was worried about inflation and trying to put some money into tangible assets. |

You're killing me eric, cheers I think I have told the story before about sitting in on earnings calls for Avid, GC, etc. where the qualification of most of the anylist was they were the guy at the firm who played guitar. Even today, Walmart and Target profits are down suprise! Ok let’s look at this: you now are paying employees to pick the order, check out the order, run it out to the car and remodel most stores for this, you didn’t think labor costs would cut into earnings? I have lost all faith in our nations great b- schools. |

It’s funny too, because the other listings for the Silver bullet are all like $1,900. Although, they don’t seem to be available new right now. I’ve been trying to grab a pair of Colour modules From them for a few months now. They can’t seem to get their stock in. |

People are steadily not checking their emails for their invoice notifications, and hence, not paying. LOL. There's plenty of complaining about place in the list and wait times, but somehow a huge percentage seem to miss checking their emails. If you're waiting - CHECK your email!  Cause if you don't...... Back of the line.  |
