I walked into the local music shop today and played a Red Special for the first time. I need suggestions on how to get $2000 before some other fuck buys the thing. "Get a job" is a legitimate answer, don't worry, I'm already trying to find one. But yeah, give me other answers like 'ransom rich people' or 'sell your virginity on eBay'. But seriously, help me figure this shit out before someone buys the thing... I played it in the shop and it was *beautiful*. |

Built your own red special just like brian and just like me xD CAPO E |
| john bodega 27.05.2006 04:57 |
There's a thought! Then again, if you'd seen the last thing I built in woodwork, you wouldn't suggest such things :D I can play these things, but I don't think I could build one. |
| M a t i a s M a y 27.05.2006 05:06 |
have you got anything you don't use?? do you?? Ok... SELL IT |
| TRS-Romania 27.05.2006 05:08 |
what about taking out a loan? (and let your parents sign it for instance)... then you pay back the money to them on a monthly basis? 2000 USD * 24 months = 91 USD/month (9% interestrate calculated) ;-) What about that? (that's how I financed my first electrical Roland Piano, well on an interestrate of 3,5% ;-) Stefan |

Sell any of your other guitars. I reckon you won't be needing 'em. |

If I sell a pancake with the face of Jesus Christ in it, would that fetch a lot of money? People are buying stupid things all the time. |
| its_a_hard_life 26994 27.05.2006 13:03 |
I'm getting one soon, for my birthday which isn't so far away.... :D The pancake idea is good! ;-P |

You don't need a Red Special, you can play mine. Come to Perth! Haha - Hey look all, I'm thinking of just claiming the money my Dad owes me (muahaha) and buying the fucking thing before someone else does. If I do this, it's a good move right? Like - I'll at least get a bit of money back off it if I have to get rid of it? |
| Serry... 27.05.2006 13:34 |
Try to ask Greg while he's here... |
| john bodega 27.05.2006 14:26 |
I'm offended, I asked him about Face it Alone and he didn't answer. Maybe even HE doesn't have a copy. |

College tuition is more important than a guitar, in my opinion. Red Special or not. So yeah, bad decision there. |
| john bodega 27.05.2006 14:37 |
Well there's the rub, I can probably afford both if I'm careful, and at the moment the guitar I'm using for TAFE is in real bad shape. That and it's a *really* nice guitar, it just felt so nice playing haha. |
| biggest_fan_K 27.05.2006 18:14 |
start a dog buisness or whatever its called..sell each puppy at $500 or like Great Danes cost $2000 each |

Check how much they want for a deposit first, then work on getting the deposit in! |

I played it in the shop and it was *beautiful*.The corny ones: - Prostitution - Forgery But you could: - Come up with a useless product and market it well - Have someone invest in you ("Hey, I'm gonna be a great musician, and if you pay for my guitar, you get a percentage!!!") - Take a loan - Drop down on your knees and ask your boss for a $2000 advance on your next pay-rise - Sell QOW, Alex, MatiasMay or someone like that on eBay. I'm sure someone'll pay for them/their vital organs. |

Well I've got the Red Special but these are all fine ideas to get my money back :D |

A Red Special is worth sucking any one's cock. So you might start there. |

"Good luck playing the Red Speacial, dude! You so will definitely play like Brian; otherwise, play it just like you. Rock on!" I will confess to having a passing admiration for David Gilmour - the Comfortably Numb solo plays *beautifully* on this beast. "I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I seeeeeeeeeeeee! ROCK ON! =D " :D Hehe |
