The same Pawnshop I've score my latest killer deals,gave up the goods again.Again I wasn't looking for anything in particular,but I couldn't pass up this double score. First I saw a Roland Cube 100 Bass amp in MINT condition for $99. That's a no brainer cause they go for about $490 new with tax.The next item I got to hand pick out of the back of the store. The Mgr. let me go through all the guitars and basses that were coming out. I found a MINT '88 Peavey Dyna Unity LTD. Honey Sunburst bass in a mint HSC for $ 149. These in MINT condition like this go for about $500-600 without a case. The manager is now going to let me go back and sort through all his amps and guitars whenever I stop by. I guess it pays to be a regular customer. Here's some picks of the Roland and the Peavey bass.

P.S. - I realized today why I'm scoring such unreal deals. THEY CAN'T READ. They had the Roland amp listed as a Fender Mod Frontman 35 on the price tag. The name of the amp and model are right there in their faces. Oh well, I'm sure this is going to be a VERY good year again.

I was just thinking of you yesterday

Hey, a long time ago you posted some clips of a few of your different amps. What was the mic that you used? I think it was an Apex. Do you remember?
 
I get a few deals in the local pawns, and I think a lot of that is because I never re-pawn anything--IE, if I buy it, they're never going to see it again.

I used to see a lot of that doing repairs--sometimes we'd have the same guitar 5 or 6 times a year.

You're doing well if they let you look things over before they put them out--be on the lookout for other brands, too, that way you won't tip your hand.
 
Pawn shops can have some great deals!

It seems around here the pawn shops think everything old is vintage, and therefore gold!

I've seen old peavey amps with higher prices than when they were brand new!

Hope you don't continue to hate me too much.:D

The mic I use a lot for recording guitars is my Apex 460 Tube condenser mic. I really warms up the recordings a alot. I bought mine for $250 a few years back. I don't know what they go for now. They are worth picking up. Good luck notCardio.
 
Apex

I know this is the guitar forum, but is your Apex stock, or did you mod anything? It's supposedly a big modder's mic. Stock tube?
 
I'm not a big Peavey fan, but that bass is lovely. Excellent find.
