...but I have to share 
The other day, I responded to an ad for a Boss Tremolo at a rather reasonable price. I thought it could be a PN2 and asked for the model name.
I got a quick mail reply; "Sorry, i got it wrong in the ad, it's no tremolo, it's a VB2 Vibrato"
I asked if he had a picture of it (I've been scammed of a non-existing VB2 in the past) and that evening received a pic of a dinged but nice VB2. Needless to say I replied that i would be happy to buy it.
So, now I have my own VB2! Got it in the mail today and it works beatuifully -it really is a great sound not least for bass guitar!
And so...the price. I said it was resonable...might have been understating. I once bought a VB2 at a local music store for about 75$ and sold it on for over 400$...that time I thought it was just to expensive to keep around. This time it's staying on!
The price i paid?
350 SEK = 50$ !!!
Now, here it is:

That's one of the best deals I've heard of - congratuations and enjoy the pedal.
If you respond to another ad for a filter pedal and they say it's not really a filter...it's a 'Spectrum something or other...", then I'll be really unhappy  |
