I traded my Laney TT50 1x12 combo for a JSX head from this jerk on HC. I got it all beat up by UPS, but it still worked fine. I told him about the dents on the head case and the beat up box so I could the headshell replaced by UPS and he flipped out.
In fact he started flipping out from the start which made me a little nervous about dealing with him, but I had to keep my promise to deliver the deal. If I didn't maintain multiple daily email communication with him he would freak out and start accusing me of stupid stuff.
Finally his TT50 came in and he claims it was damaged by FedEx. In my experience this is much much more common with UPS than FedEx so I doubt he is telling the truth. In any case, he said that he was super disappointed with the trade because he claims the Laney TT50 is a "thin sounding piece of ****" that's incapable of producing a decent tone.
Obviously Steve Smith's "TEN" album proves that wrong since it's the amp he used to record that album, but I also have a sound clip I provided him before we made the deal. I can't imagine any reasonable person saying something so far fetched about the amp. I know it may not be for everyone but his description sounds as if he didn't play it at all or totally bought the BS he read on HC before he even received it.

Of course I will never expect to impress a single soul with my playing but I thought it would be helpful if I miced up the amp and recorded a short demo through a fairly neutral mic (e609).
His later comments were that I'm a S***ty player. I don't think I'm THAT bad but my recording seems to sound fairly decent. Well you decide and let me know what you think.
By the way I was scrolling through some HC threads and found one he started and everything he told me was a regurgitation of what other HC village idiots speculated. You could tell only 1 of them ever really played a TT50 and he was the one that praised it.
Well let me know your opionions. I don't know if I am a sucky player or not or if my tone sucks too but your opinion will be helpful for helping me improve.
