Already sorted it all out I am just here to alert the community not to click! Its pretty slick to get that message within five minutes of setting up a account (makes a new user feel they messed up and need to do it again)

So its a fake profile sending out reverb branded links to reverify your bank details via stripe

Yep goes to a gear page as we all get

The link is to Stripe that asks for your card details..

It was a internal message on their system from a profile with what looked like a legit gear page

I am new to Reverb but thought this worth a post. I am getting inbox messages from "REVERB" that state some one has bought a piece of gear and my account needs to be verified. The message appears as "from reverb" and asks you to verify your account to accept the offer from the buyer. Of course, has a link. I was suspicious so contacted Reverb and indeed it was a scam. The crazy thing is the timing of it all, I just verified my account with them and within 5 minutes get this message to verify. I thought i did something wrong in the verification process. Seems I may have a lot more to learn about that online portal and what to look out for, it doesnt appear to be very safe or secure. I dont even get this kind of attempts from Ebay.. Facebook is obv full of scams, to be expected that "their uncle will pick it up and pay you double.." 🤪

I am more passive nowadays.. everything passive.. many preamp pedals and some nice heads, I find onboard preamps to be all set to neutral for my tastes, however my fishman fluence on my spector euro LT sound amazing..

Hey all, I am a bassist and writer, sometimes vocalist. Recording and self financed touring experience. I am 53 and have been a active since my teens in LA. I have pro gear and transport and financially independent. My influences as a bassist range from old maiden and dio (jimmy bain style) to thrash (megadeth and metallica), to soundgarden and i love infectious grooves, punk HC like Sick of it All (cross over punk/metal), Amen and Snot, Faith No More.. I am a pick player and love my tube tone with a some grit Amepeg/Orange etc. Four and Five string basses. I am slowly moving away from downtuned 7-8 string metal, metalcore, screaming and shouting as well as all powermetal. I would love to land with some players to create a innovative project -write with regularly, record and tour. No stress BS however, it has to be fun for once! I have done my share of sleeping in cars and drinking to much! Or a band that needs a bassist that can ultimately contribute to writing. I put "alt" in the add as I no longer care much for most of the metal out there- I like groove metal from the 90s, some rap rock, some HC PUNK, some Pop Punk and love 70'/80s heavy rock and metal. I also love alt rock like Garbage, Blondie and music with a melody and super grit.. my ideal band or sound would have a mix of soundgarden vibes, garbage and blondie style choruses with a bit of motorhead/pantera/metallica/faith no more edge.. Loving Sabbath goes with out saying and I loved Skidrow (slave to the grind). (Had to get that out there..) During Covid I wrote a few tunes, produced in NYC and with guest guitars from Sick of it All. I do love their releases and Pete's playing. The vocals in SOIA are also awesome as they are so rhythmic. I am based near Gravesend Kent and willing to travel for the right situation.
