So would I be stupid....

[Cadorman]

Thinking about trading in this 2013 American Standard to get an Orange 115 bass cab.

Bought the guitar new in 2017. Haven't played it in a year. Prolly have less than 20 hours on it. I'm not a Fender guy.

How on earth would that be stupid-----

What Adrian says. If you don't really play or enjoy the guitar, trade it. Mind you, I would take the value of the cab into account before trading.

 

[Hackmaster]

Yeah what they said.
A black Tele is pretty common, even a lefty one like that.
If you miss it, it will be easy enough to reacquire.
But if you're not a Fender guy that should be a moot point.

And fifteen's are cool, chicks will dig it.

I just posted the Tele on CL to see if I get any interest before I break down and go to GC with it.

you will get MORE on CL fo rsure--- GC will try and give you 75.00

Did I ever tell you about the time I had to sell my nearly mint 1988 Les Paul standard to pay the rent? Got $350 for the guitar, Fender Stage Lead II amp and a Boss OD from Music Go Round. My wife will regret that for the rest of her life as I acquire more and more guitars.

 

[eSGEe]

no you didnt--- and now--- I am sad-----

 

[Cadorman]

I'm over it. I think it was about 24 years ago. Besides, now I have 3 LPs plus an SG and Flying V.

Stupid? No.

Stupid is what I do: every couple of years I think to myself "self, you really should have a Fender in the stable just for those times when, you know, you really want that sound that only they will do" so I go buy a Fender or a G&L or some such thing, and then that thing sits there basically unplayed and reeking of regret until I sell it for a loss because in actuality I don't ever want the thing that only a Fender can do any more...then, time goes by and you know, rinse and repeat, and like a magical idiot I do it again.

Sell off the unused stuff and get something you need/want/will use.

I have not finished reading the thread, but they won’t give ya crap for it....

 

[CabanaBoy]

Naw, it's not stupid if your not using the tele and want a cab you'll use - know, what I mean...

 

[Cadorman]

I might have someone actually interested in it. We shall see what happens.

 

[CabanaBoy]

I've got a couple things on craigslist doing the same thing. See if anyone wants them and if they'll trade for something I want, etc...

And the flippers/low-ballers which make up most of the CL users around here - lol...

 

[Cadorman]

I had a guy offer me $875 this morning, but I have to wait until he gets his bonus in a month. Just had another guy offer me $800. I countered with $850. We shall see. This Tele really is like new. Hung on the shop wall for 4 years until I bought it.

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

Hang tight on your price, it will come

I sold a guy a AVT50H and 2 MG cabs for a killer deal $600.00
The stack with the red cab.
And a week later he was trying to seek the B cab and head for $500.00 !!!
