Look what i scored!
EDITeD:
Well,i got a different one,and it cost over double! Wait....i could only afford it because i sold some old gear i don't use,and i never payed for the old gear anyways,it was all given to me so i am only forking out $90 for a $225 1992/3 sovtek.
Yes,this is my weak ass attempt at justifying an expensive BMP,but its true...its only costing ME $90 so I'm fine with that! Not really but i done it anyway!
I must say tho,this is the last fuzz i will buy,i said to myself once "soon as i have a WM and Grn sovtek i wont buy anymore fuzzes"....i have 8 of them for christsake.
Its the one from Rivington in NYC,on Gbase,ordinarily i wouldnt pay this much for a BMP,its ridiculous imo!

I love the look of those green Sovtek BM's - they look like a piece of military equipment

Re: Look what i scored!
Rivington in NYC are scammers with shipping,the guy wanted $55.WTF?!?!?
It only costs $25 max to send a BMP here,maybe $30 if its in a wooden box but not $55,plus the cost of moneywire transfer he wanted.
What a jerk,i basically told him so too!
His loss not mine!
Its not proving easy to get a green muff,out of the three i found this week all fell through....maybe I'll never own one,its fate!

Keep scouring eBay. It seems like one will go for a fair price here and there. I got my 2nd one on there for $60 because it was broken. It only needed a new battery clip and took about 5 minutes to fix.Pumpkin wrote: Its not proving easy to get a green muff,out of the three i found this week all fell through....maybe I'll never own one,its fate!

Re: Look what i scored!
I quit saying that, just fooling myself. Last Fuzz pedal I built my wife said, "Don't you already have 4 pedals that do that?" I don't think there is such a thing as "a perfect fuzz pedal" if you find it please let me know. Maybe a three button Fuzz Factory/Wooly Mammoth/Tonebender?Pumpkin wrote: I must say tho,this is the last fuzz i will buy,i said to myself once "soon as i have a WM and Grn sovtek i wont buy anymore fuzzes"....i have 8 of them for christsake.
Why should we buy postage stamps? We can make our own.

Re: Look what i scored!
Yea,your probably right....I'm in denial of my addiction to fuzz pedals.
Seriously tho,i wont be buying anymore gear for a while as i have everything i need and i really have to save some cash to get a new house.A rental,I'm not buying.I also have to register my car cause its just siting there not being used and i let it run out.
I am irresponsible,unreliable and careless,its a wonder i can even dress myself sometimes! *shakes head in amazement at self*
Edit:I almost forgot,i did find a fuzz pedal,i bought it,its been shipped but your all gonna have to wait to see what it is.
Can anyone Guess? winner gets nothing!
