  • My doomed Stiletto

    Dave Sarge from Engineered Sound just got back from his trip. He opened up the carton I shipped my mint condition Stiletto Deuce in and he left a message for me telling me that the cabinet is cracked and split open at the seem on one corner. Looks like UPS did a number on an amp I packed EXTREMELY well. I insured it for $900.00 when I shipped it so I guess I will start the UPS damage claim thing tomorrow morning.
    I found this all out as I was standing in an intersection after being the passenger in a major car accident. Some lady ran a red light and smashed into us doing around 40mph. I hit the windshield with my head (lucky me). Both trucks look totaled. I wonder why neither of the airbags went off in the 2005 Jeep Wrangler I was in.

          Damn,
          I hope the 1987x shows up soon (in one piece) to ease your pain.

          That really sucks. Let us know how the U(Oo)PS claim goes too.

          Did you get a catsacan or xray on the noggin?

          Glad you are ok.

                      if you can, ask for Will Watson in the customer service dept - he's the only guy who actually helped me out in the end.

                          Yup. Had the SAME problem with those monkeyheaded idiots, when they dropped my new amp, AT MY DOORSTEP! I heard him do it, inside the truck, but he was gone before I could get to it. Bastards.
