    There is a guy here that is selling a Whammy pedal. He has scammed MANY people at HC, TGP, UG, and now he has made it here and to craigslist.

    funk rock25

    His email address is RisingTide2574@aol or something. Many people have been burned. BEWARE.

    Read about him here.

    See my post on my Duncan Pups for sale thread. Then check the good trader thread on my part.

    Sorry dude, but you have no posts here and I explained numerous times that I don't ship COD or take checks. So therefore, we had no deal.

    I advise all who deal with this guy to get paid up front, alot of stink because I wouldn't ship items without being paid first screams scammer to me.

    Just my 2 cents.
    I never fly because the Lord said: "Low, and I will be with thee."

    In conclusion I would just like to say in my defense that I did agree to send the money by postal money order prior to shipment in one of my PMs to Lucid:
    "Quote:

    Then became wary when Lucid bumped his post later that night. When I asked him if we still had a deal he said one of pickup were on hold this was after I committed to send him the money for both. I then felt uncomfortable with the whole transaction. I see that lucid has a lot of love on this board and I'm sure that he has made many successful transactions, but for me the whole thing did not feel right. Yes, I am new to this board but don't hold that against me. We were all new at onetime, we all had to start somewhere. Don't call me a scammer for trying to protect myself when I found out you promised one of the pickups to someone else after I told you I would send payment for both.
    I am sorry that this did not work out but, after all they are just guitar pickups.
    thank you~

    That was yesterday, today I wake up to PM's from you stating you will only buy if I ship COD or take a check. That's not how I do bussiness and I went along to the next PM's from someone else interested. Sorry it turned out this way, but I do take offense to you posting that I am a scammer and from this point I would just as soon not deal with you anymore. Hope your quest for someone to send you some pups before before you pay turns out good for you, until then God Bless.

    I've been a member here for more than 2 years and have learned so much from this place.I love this forum and cannot go without checking for even a few hours. and as most of you are, I'm quite a understanding and respectful person.

    BUT for nearly 2 yrs now a fellow member has had my:
    -2003 Epiphone G400 in Worn Cherry (Korea.)
    -Black With Logo Seymour Duncan JB (Installed but not soldered into the G400.)
    -NIB Zebra Dimarzio Air Classic Bridge (His payment for a new nut and fret dress.)
    -SKB Deluxe Hardshell Case for a 61' SG type
    -A Set of GHS Boomer 10's (For the new setup after the fret dress+nut.)
    -A $20 Bill for return postage

    I sent him it with a promise couple of weeks turnaround. It had some neck issues and he was to try his best to improve on them. Time passes and dozens of promises come and go. I call his home, his cell and even get responses via E-mail. Only after I out him on the board in the bad traders section do i get any action(only once i remove my post!). But nothing came A year passes and he even takes it with him from Illinois to California to assume his dream job(more promises since.). I have on seveal times contaced him since and get more dead promises! as of a few months back I have gotten nothing in response.

    I would rather not drag the name of such a great asset to us on this board and to SD through the mud. But I'm at my wits end. I'm not a rich man. All my gear I have is very close to me and was aquired on a budget. I work at Mcdonalds currently and am struggling to get back to college and finish my degree. I just really feel like I have been the nicest man on earth and given a Million chances. I really loved playing this guitar and it is a honest $500+ total investment gone. That for me is more than alot of money. I just want my guitar back with the work promised and in the same condition. He can have the Dimarzio and $20. those are payment for his work.

    I guess I will leave this up for 48hours for him to see! Please contact me to resolve this matter ASAP! If not I'll have to be a little more agressive.

    LoFiBrian, you are the "nicest man on Earth" if you can write this sensibly about the person who has had your guitar for two years!

    Good luck to you.

    There's only 2 people that fit this description on this board and I'm positively sure that the one doesn't do much tech work on the side nor would he have any use for any kind of Dimarzio since he has direct access to the custom shop.

    Its pretty apparent to me whom the culprit is..

    Frankly, IDC if that person is a great asset to us or Duncan or not...2 years is absolute BS, and that "asset" needs to get off his "asset" ,send you your gear back and explain himself
    I'm an internet person. All we do is waste time evaluating things that have next-to-zero real world significance.

    Well no dice on a message back.

    "FrankFalbo" really needs to get me my things back! For someone living his dream and working for SD. You would think he would be humble enough to make good on a 2yr old deal where I have been not only understanding, But I have been amazing to deal with!

    Where should I proceed from here guys? I mean its not hard if one has the knowledge to cut a nut and do a fret dress and solder a JB and put it back in its case and box and drop it at the UPS store and use the enclosed $20 to send it.

    maybe a month job max? not nearly 2yrs. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!

    JB_From_Hell has already been a great help!

    Maybe Duncan should hold his checks until you confirm receipt...
    Without tubes there is no point to getting wood.
