richard f Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm gigging much less - mainly recording now- and am selling two Ampeg 4 x 10 cabs (USA made). These are in beautiful condition and have been kept in carpet covers. Open to sensible offers. Also selling two Eden 210 XLT (these are the top of the range Eden 210s) . Again, sensible offers considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Reckon people will want to know the model as there are quite a few Ampeg 4x10's with very different specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-soar Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well what do you think? If this forum was to be the place for people with bass gear to drop in and get rid of some stuff, surely it would resemble Loot. But it's not. This is a forum for people who play or have an interest in the bass guitar, double bass or hybrids of these instruments. A bit of common courtesy to say hello would make a lot of difference. At least introduce yourself and say hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gear may well turn into a great deal for a Basschatter (obviously the details would need fleshing out a bit). I have contributed to the community (largely through this forum over the past 3 years) but have spent most of the time looking rather than typing. That being said, I have had some great deals from the community and given some great deals. If I had got a welcome like this one, I wouldn't have bothered.

In that time I have built some quality relationships within the community. I'm not claimimg to get involved in every forum- I clearly don't. I just don't feel you should be welcomed with hostility because you don't 'introduce yourself'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Asking the guy to take the time to do a quick 'hello' in the introductions section does not constitute a hostile greeting. People are right -- if you're going to sell kit here, the least you can do is say 'hi'... otherwise it might as well be Loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbloke Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Maybe he posted both for sale topics and was about to think of a nice story to add to the introduce yourself forum. However, the trolls that frequent this forum all clambered over themselves to criticise him so he thought 'f*ck that' and hasn;t been back since. 'Home of deep discussion'?

You quoted home of deep discussion, are we not discussing? If the guy has been made to feel unwelcome, then I for one am sorry. BTW, I wear a parka with 2 hoods. This is a local bass site for local bassists, we'll have no trouble here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbloke Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 This is the second time in as many weeks that a new member of the forum has been given a less than warm welcome. Also, lecturing someone for not posting in the introduce yourself forum when you haven't done so yourself is somewhat hypocritical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I don't care if people don't post in the introduction forums. I don't think most people read them anyway. It would be kind of nice if in one of the new posts the seller would put something along the lines of: "hello my name's... and I'm selling my..." Just something a little more human and less impersonal. I'm sure it would benefit the seller money wise too increase the peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the internet allows users to come and go as they please. Incognito, up front or anywhere in between, you know what I mean. It seems that you like to keep your ID secret too.
