Did you miss me?

I've been a busy guy.  I'm hitting the circuit again to bring you guys the deals to make you squeel!
Here's a list of things that I've found in the Austin, TX pawn world since my last post:

1. Epiphone Les Paul for cheap
2. Epiphone Dot pretty cheap
3. Line 6 UX1 for 60 bucks
4. FMR Really Nice Compressor for 80 bucks
5. Epiphone Valve Junior for 60 bucks
6. Sony PD100A for 65 bucks
7. 2 Yamaha Studio Monitors HS50M for 80 bucks
8. Optoma PK301 pico projector for 100 bucks
9. Sony HDR-CX160 for 100 bucks
10. Sure SM7B for 100 bucks(San Antonio find)
11. Blue Core 200 mic for 60 bucks

I'll be back soon with some recent good finds.  Off the top of my head, I can tell you that there are a couple of Fender Bassman amps at Cash America on South Lamar, a Bassman 100 and a rough looking Marshall JCM 2000 ( I think) at Cash America on Burnet and Anderson lane, an ugly Yellow Marshall JCM2000 Dual Super Lead at Braker and I35,   I can't think of anything else.  I'll have pics and more info the next time I post.  Thanks for reading.

Mustang Pawn on S. Congress Today!

Wowee!  A 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom.  The ticket price is $3800, but they said make an offer.  I need more money.  Click on my ads, please!

 Here is a Fender Showman Amp that they are willing to go as low as $750.  On the right day, they may go lower.  It's not in terrible shape.  They also have this Super 112 for $449 or best offer.  You can't see it, but right the amp to the right is a Hot Rod DeVille for $650.

Fender Concert II Tube Amp

$179 at Cash America on Lamar just south of 183.  There is one on ebay right now for $949 buy it now price +$99 for shipping in the US. Ouch!  1x12 60 watts, great shape with the footswitch.  Tell them the Austin  Pawn Scum sent you in to look at this amp!

I snapped a pic of the price tag in the corner.  It says Kustom?  It was the only tag on it and there were no Kustoms around.

The amp that saved Fender in the 80s.  Designed by Paul Rivera.  I checked out the schematics and the tone stack is pretty standard for Fender, identical to the Bassman.    Here is a demo.  It speaks for itself.

Lookout for stolen gear!

RED ALERT!  RED ALERT!  

Criminals are out there and they have a plethora of musicians to sell stolen gear to.  Here's a rule that my bands never break:  Never leave the gear alone.  Criminals often use lookouts, and so should we.  Any friend of the band that wants to help out can do it.  Sometimes friends want to help with the load in or out, but it's always more helpful to just watch the gear while we move it.  Another good tip is to get all your model/serial numbers in order and email them to yourself. 

Back in the days of the original Redrum Club on 6th street, I had half of my wireless unit taken from the back room.  A year later, I found the transmitter in an EZ Pawn and had to buy it back.  I knew it was mine because it was missing the transmitter that I was still in possession of.

I'll be on the lookout with my trusty digital camera.  Some of these items are pretty unique so be on the lookout and if you see anything from the following list, comment or email me and I'll get the information to the right people.  Thanks.
