Members Into Nation Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 Mine Best: Bought a '74 SF Pro Reverb a year or so old. I still have it, all original. Worst: Bought an Ibanez lawsuit strat at the same time. Played it for a month but it didn't say Fender, took it back and traded for a used Fender Strat (year unknown). Couldn't get it to sound right even though I had all the bridge saddles setup perfectly in line :facepalm:. Wound up GIVING IT AWAY to a friend who was having tough times. :facepalm: Got any young and lucky/dumb stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stormin1155 Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 For the most part I've done well with gear deals. Probably the worst was trading an original '55 Fender tweed Twin Amp for $100 and a Mutron pedal. That was back in the early '70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
