    Power Cable for Ampeg SVT-3 PRO?

    Hello, I am very excited about purchasing my very first bass amp head. Even more excited about the price! I bought it second-hand from a small pawn shop from out of town. The amp is an Ampeg SVT-3 PRO. I knew the price I paid was likely too good to be true. Now that it arrived in shipping...

    Too good to be true?

    Hey all. I've just acquired a Darkglass Microtubes 900 V1 for the ludicrously low price of $130 out the door at a local pawn shop. I brought it home to test out and it fires up and puts out signal. The switches and knobs all work, the fan works, all the lights work... Seems to be in fine working...

    Misterious reverse shimming on a mustang bass, what should I do?

    Hi everyone, I have recently bought a 2nd-hand mustang bass from a local shop. I have noticed that the neck pocket was shimmed with a thin metal plate so I am making a check during cleaning session. Look at the photos here, it is a partial reverse shim, the job doesn't look top notch. I guess...

    NBD (to me) Pawn Shop Score!

    Pawn Shop special... Samick Greg Bennett Design Corsair CR4 The sticker said 330 (CDN), so I figured I'd lowball them and offered 200. I had been there about a month before and liked it, but not for the sticker price. The battery ground lead needs resoldering, everything is else fine. Killer...

    70s Sunn Mustang P Bass

    So... I was looking in a local antique/pawn shop to look for a guitar to strip for parts (I found a start copy, turns out it was half decent so I'm keeping it) anyways, while I was looking for a guitar I saw an off white P Bass (personally I love worn white basses), I asked the guy how much he...

    NBD Squier CV 60’s Pawn Shop

    was on a road run and stopped in a small town pawn shop today. They had this fairly well used CV 60s J hanging, spent a few minutes with it and it played really nice, and sounded good plugged in, even with not-dead-but-not-far-from strings. Owner indicated willingness to deal off the tagged...

    Found my guitarists main guitar in a pawn shop

    I've been jamming a little with this guitarist for a few months on and off. We have been searching for a "non-flakey" drummer since Christmas and haven't found one. The guitarist plays some very well versed blues and knows his way around the fretboard. I haven't spoken directly with him in a...

    Pawn shop decisions: Old Stinger vs Chinese Squier

    I took off from the day-gig a little early today to do a little gallivanting. I stopped by a pawn shop that used to have a decent selection of stuff, but the choices were slim today. They did have two p-basses: A newer Chinese Squier, with a jazz-style neck (and the tiniest frets I have ever...

    Jump from pawn shop beater bass to Yamaha to MM Stingray to Zon

    The biggest "Holy F!! This thing plays AMAZING!" factor for me was from my $99 pawnshop beater bass to when I got my Yamaha RBX750 for Xmas one year (I think it was an approx $400 bass new). Everything seemed so easy to play on the Yamaha. Then when I went from my Yamaha to a brand new MM...

    1972 P-Bass at pawn shop

    So I ran into this bass. The guy didn't have a price on it yet. I wasn't in the market to buy it so I tried to help him out a bit on the potential value. Whoever previously owned it and taken small reflective decal letters and pasted it on the back, below the neck that said 1972. I have no...

    Should I learn on a 4- or 5-String Bass AND Pawn Shop Squier (VM?) 4-string Jazz Bass questions

    Hello Everyone, I hope you’re all having a terrific day. Also, I hope it’s okay to mix two topics in a thread. I’m new to this cool site. I’ve played drums since I was eight — more than forty years ago — and wanted to play bass, even then! Things have changed a lot since the Seventies, what...

    Used Aguilar cab from pawn shop, real or fake?

    So a few days ago I picked up an Aguilar gs410 from a pawn shop at an insane price. This is the first real cabinet I've ever bought , and it sounds really good, but since I got it for so cheap, I'm suspicious that it's a fake. All the pictures of the gs410 are a bit different from what I have...

    Was my pawn shop impulse purchase worthwhile?

    I found this Ibanez a couple of hours ago in a pawn shop near my house (pics below). I didn’t need it, as I just started learning to play a few weeks ago, already have a couple of 4-strings, and was not planning to play 5-string, but... it felt good and has a pretty neck that’s very straight...

I hooked it up to my Ampeg 610hlf there and sounded sooo juicy. They let me crank it... man what a sound! Anyway...
