from experience, I can almost guarantee it's mostly hip hop producers wanting to sucker people into their mastering or producing business with studio shots on their webpage with a room full of gear. I've joked in the past that if I could find a way to make vacuformed synths like those fake TVs they use in furniture stores, i'd make millions off these guys.


of course all their studio is really is a 10 year old PC running Fl studio and waves; all cracked of course.


at least they are being honest about wanting to fill up the rack just for looks. that's more than I can say for a number of people i've run across.

Get a 200 dollar chinese Kramer guitar, say it was hand-made then has had a bunch of upgrades but you don't know what they are, say you bought it for 1,500 dollars and try to sell it for 1,000. Classic Atlanta Craigslist thumb.gif (this on the same day someone's selling a beat-up RD700 for 1,700... but this is far more entertaining to read)




*CUSTOM* Les Paul - MUST SEE! - $1000 (Snellville)

I'm selling my Kramer Les Paul. I really hate to let this hot rod go, but it's the holidays and I'm strapped for cash.


I bought this guitar 2 years back from the original owner/maker for $1500. He built this guitar almost completley from scratch, making it one-of-a-kind.


The body is that of a Kramer Les Paul, given an absolutely beautiful custom paint job. The paint is gold/yellow, in true flame-top style. The entire guitar is outlined in real Mother-Of-Pearl, and it also has killer diamond-shaped Mother-Of-Pearl inlays. The guitar is also decked out with brand-new chrome hard-ware, and new two-tone volume knobs. This is truly a one-of-a-kind guitar. You won't find anything like it anywhere else.


The maker also installed both new bridge and neck pickups. However, I'm not exactly sure what kind they are. However, I know they rip. I've used this guitar in several professional recording studio sessions, for nearly every kind of music. I've played this baby on everything from jazz pickin to kickass heavy metal licks. It sounds great. The pickups, along with the semi-wide neck give it a fat, full-bodied sound that will knock you out of your shoes.


Comes with original hardshell case


All of the pictures I have for this guitar are too big to upload onto Craigslist, so email me for pictures. This is a MUST-SEE guitar, you cannot fully appreciate it until you see it. It really is an absolutely stunning instrument.


Call Hayden at 404-368-xxxx with questions.


Could make a musician very happy on Christmas!!!!

what planet do you live on?

prophet 10's get up to $6500 on ebay if in good shape.

i sold one recently on ebay with the stipulation that it had to be delivered by me, no shipping, and i got a $5000 offer.

Amazing piano with incomparable sound. Black, high gloss. Extra keys. You have to play it to appreciate it. Way under priced for immediate sale. If you don't know this piano, you are not the person to be inquiring. Serious offers only please.

Ah, Craigslist Gold, I love it.


A recent favorite of mine was a listing for a Roland MC-505 groove box. The photo clearly showed that the filter knob had been wrenched off, and the knob post badly bent, in what must have been a drunken/altered I AM THE BEST DJ EVAR OMGBBQ moment.


Unfortunately, like Ebay, Craigslist has become all but unusable for buying and selling. Good job listings though, companies have to pay to post those. If only it cost a fifty cents to post stuff to sell, the tards would scatter like A&R men under a bright light...

AHere are some doozeys!


-------------------------------------------

Brought brand new for 2400.00. 4 years old,but barely used. Nothing has been added or recorded on to it. I used it to trigger my reasons program for pro-tools. So basically it's new used it for about 3 months. I don't like the weighted keys,not a professional piano or keyboard player. Not selling for any major reason other than I don't use it,and I'm not going to give it away,it's takng up space.

Korg M1 Synthesizer - full function, almost new condition - includes orchestra and percussion cards - Calzone or Anvil case - $800

-----------------------------------------------------------


This is a rare and hard to find KEY BOOM ELECTRONIC KEYBOARD / GUITAR by Kawasaki. Big booming sound from a 3 inch speaker, 2 instruments in one. 6 keyboard rhythms and 6 jammin lead guitar riffs.


BOOM JAM Synchronized play technolgy from DSI Electronics makes it possible for different Kawasaki musical instruments to actually play together, in synchrony, as well as independently.


Kawasaki musical instruments featuring Boom Jam technology can be preset to play background rhythm (melody) or lead and also allow band members to take turns playing rhythm and lead during the same jam session.

1500 for 3 black face ADATs?? This is worth some 300-400 dollars, maybe.

 

Actually, a lot of people still want ADATs, three with the large remote and rack for $1500 OBO, really not that bad if the hours are low.
