Price doesn't look too bad, kinda high on shipping. I wonder where the "grounding" problem is in the circuit to keep it from getting output. Includes 2 modules but does not mention case that is pictured.

Could be as simple as a battery connector bad or a broken wire somewhere but it's always a gamble in this case. Buckle rash is bad but fixable. Also if one of the MPC modules are bad it will also kill the sound. Would have to ask more detailed questions on this one for certain. This Bass with case is extreamly heavy but you can ship amps much cheaper than this shipping price. I might see up to $50 shipping but unless it's next day delivery $100 is out of the question.

Shipping is too high - no sound kind of scares me too. Looks pretty nice but... I'll wait for one that works.

with buckle rash like that, it was being worn very low on the body. probably sold it because owners back couldn't take it any more...
