It's the only thing you can't just give to another person? ;) BTW, how much do you want for the MM, and do you have any pictures? Cat Daddy
Thundergod Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 sexually transmited decease... c´mon guys...
Thundergod Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 If I was over there I would gladly take it from you... the Melody Maker that is... unless you are willing to ship it free down here... If some friend goes there I will tell you so you can send her to him and he can take her here...
NeoConMan Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 Um' date=' #2? It's the only thing you can't just give to another person? BTW, how much do you want for the MM?[/quote'] Wrong answer, but I sent you a PM!
NeoConMan Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 #4. Can't get rid of the rest? WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Yes! Thanks to the miracle of antibiotics, relief from gonorrhea is but a few white pills away! Herpes is forever. No cure for AIDS. I can't get rid of that Melody Maker to save my life! I've spent $50 on Ebay listings, I will STILL have to eat the shipping if somebody HERE buys it. I'll be lucky if I get half my money back when it does sell. Guys, it doesn't pay to buy inexpensive guitars new.
Tim Plains Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Neo, have you tried craigslist & kijiji? I've had some luck with kijiji. If all else fails and you just want to get rid of it, trade it in when you buy that reissue. :D
Aaresz Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Take it in to Guitar Center! They'll buy it and give some in-store credit. j/k
Thundergod Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I know this is the gibson forum and all... but how did you get rid of #4? (Gonorrhea)... I think that would be an interesting topic now that Lynyrd is on vacation...
NeoConMan Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 Penicillin or other antibiotics. I'm not a doctor, but I am an amateur gynocologist.
yoyoscout Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 So the Melody Maker is hard to get rid of... Trade you for an Ibanez RG270 DX... Or I'll just buy the Gibson outright. What do you want for it?
NeoConMan Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 PM sent. Lubbock Texas, eh? God's country. Got family all over that state. I worked with a guy from New Deal.
tulsaslim Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks to you guys for making my day. I feel exactly the same way about MMs but have been reticent about it because I don't want to cause any more pain to the poor folks who have taken the plunge & bought one. For $50 less you can get an Epi LP Studio which, compared to the MM, is a jewel. EDIT: Yes, the white pills will get rid of it. I can say that from personal experience (more than once, unfortunately). Just one of the pratfalls of Life on the Road in a Rock N Roll Band.
rybass Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 So many haters. Strange b/c I've owned my MM for 4 months and I get offers for it all the time. Maybe b/c I know how to make it sound good. I've probably sold more of them than a GC salesman. Oh well somepeople have to spend $4k to sound good.
yoyoscout Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 PM sent. Lubbock Texas' date=' eh? God's country. Got family all over that state. I worked with a guy from New Deal.[/quote'] So, does that mean you still have it, want to sell it, and might by in the South Plains sometime soon? Just asking.
NeoConMan Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 You probably had fist-fulls of hundred dollar bills waved in front of you, eh? Just to confirm how tough it is to resell an inexpensive guitar, I'll bet you a dollar it doesn't happen again. If it DOES, let me know.... Here's something else to consider; You're playing a gig with a cheapo low buck guitar and your immense talent stirs their benevolent side. If you can play worth a damn, they probably want you to get a real guitar so you don't look like a vagrant... :-) Turnabout is fair play....
GuitarJunkie Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Take it in to Guitar Center! They'll buy it and give some in-store credit. He'd probably prefer #4.
