If "sounding like a rock band" means the same to you as it does to most other people, i.e. LOUD, then you would be sitting at home on a Friday night Alot of times other quieter bands would get the gig. It doesn't have to blow your head off to sound like a rock band. We do a lot of out door venues, Being Florida and all, that have to put up with local sound ordinances that simply get shut down or fined if the band is too loud. No one that has ever come and seen our band has ever complained we were to quiet. The key with this type of system is that you have absolute control over the volume and it is always crystal clear. One thing about sound quality is that a crappier sounding band is always perceived as a louder band, so a clear band can always get away with being Alot louder than the crappy sounding band in reality. And the absolute key to the whole thing is the drums. I don't know why electric drums would be a deal breaker for you. T A band without them can only play as quietly as their drummer plays, and if you have something against a kit that sounds not only sonically perfect, every time, but can dial in dozens and dozens of different sounds or kits, play as loud or quietly as each venue demands, then I would say electric drums aren't for you. I can tell you, no manager, or club owner, or venue, or festival organizer has EVER said, we don't want that band, they use electric drums. No patron, friend or fan has EVER commented or disapproved of them or left a bar because of it. The only people I have ever heard comment on it are traditionalist musicians, and they mostly comment on how they look, not how they sound. Image is not as important in the Club scene as it wax 20 years ago. Nobody cares. The only time it has ever been an issue is when we your or do supporting shows with major artist and in the few cases where they even cares, our drummer just went ahead and used his badass acoustic set that he never plays much anymore. The overwhelming outcome of our experience with using electric drums as a band has been to turn skeptics into believers. It's hard to argue with something you have complete volume and sound control over and sound awesome every single time you use them. I live in the Tampa area too. We probably play some of the same places. I don't sit home on weekends unless I want to. I'm not talking about running people out of the place with a wall of noise, but I like decent stage volume. We have a pretty loud drummer and I like that. We play pretty loud, but our sound is very clean, and I think that's important. We have a hard driving, double kicking drummer and that's where a lot of the energy comes from. He has an electronic kit we use for rehearsal, and it's not the same and nowhere near as much fun. He played it at one place that was volume sensitive, and we heard pretty overwhelmingly from our regulars that without the real drums, we're not the same band. I've heard bands that were stupid loud and all you could hear was a wall of distorted noise. We're not one of them, but we are a rock band and want to sound like one. People that come to see us like it that way.

It would depend, but I'd probably try it. I run my Egnater direct and it will run that way without a speaker cabinet, so I would think I could get pretty close to my sound. As long as the PA would support individual mixes for everybody and was decent quality I would think it could work. No real drums would be a deal breaker for me though. I think people are getting a little carried away with this low volume stuff though. If you're a rock band, a certain amount of volume is to be expected and required. I don't think I'd be happy in a band where sounding like a rock band was discouraged.

What do you want to do with it?

Yeah but the edges don't look smooth. You can see the indentation in the fretboard in the pic you posted. The fret grooves look terrible too. The dings in the other picture look bad too. That would be really annoying to play.

The line in the neck joint is no worry. Mine has that and its rock solid, just the thick poly finish shrinkage over the ys made the line. My worry would be the neck dings. Go play it. This one to me is the show stopper. Almost looks like it's starting to rot.

The neck looks too dinged up to me. I would think that would be pretty uncomfortable to play. The frets are trashed too. I'd pass on that one.

I use a Peavey Valveking for around the house and band rehearsal. Surprisingly good for the money.

Not the case at all . Bugera doesnt make their reverb tanks Nobody makes their reverb tank. As mentioned, the reverb is digital.

I had the V55 head. My reverb died after 3 days. I doubt the reverb has anything to do with a tube.

Wow, I honestly was not trying to take sides one way or the other. I was just trying to let eveyone know how PayPal makes their decisions (and where their rules are: User Agreement). I was just hoping to give some info so people could avoid issues. If you'd rather avoid issues by not using PayPal; that's totally cool too. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thank you. The problem with your theory is you're not really putting the buyer and seller back where they started, as the seller will have lost out on other offers in the auction process and will have to start over.

I have a 0 Paypal balance. If a buyer files a dispute, can they go get the money from my bank account. They say all they can do is give me a negative Paypal balance, but I've heard otherwise.

Technically just about anybody is better than Kieth Richards. He writes some decent hooks though.

I think you've found a typical Michigan asshole (Go Bucks) and you didn't do anything wrong at all. You are supposed to low ball him. That's "the game." I don't think you should have stooped to his level and given him your speech, though, even though you were right. God, I hate people. There's a difference between lowballing and being ridiculous about it. Your offer has to be reasonable, even if it's low or as the OP found out, you won't be taken seriously.

I wouldn't have taken you seriously as a buyer. First you offer an unspecified amp, then a ridiculously low amount of money. As a seller, I would have thought you were a waste of time, then when you added the chill message, I wouldn't have thought you were unstable too. Not saying you are, but that's what I would have thought.
