Just wanting some opinions on what I should do in this situation.
So in the middle of April I lent a friend 4 amps for a big show that I wouldn't be going to. A week or 2 later he calls and tells me that he burnt one amp up and he is gonna have his local amp guy fix it. I'm cool cause he says he is gonna pay for it. Well over a month goes by and I go to pick up the amps that were still good and he only has two of the three and says he forgot the third at home and will bring it the next day to the show. Guess what. He forgot it again. And he lives only 5 minutes away from the show. Another few weeks go by and he is supposed to bring the one he forgot to me. Yep, forgot it again. At the same show an old friend of his tells me that the other one is blown up too and I probably won't get it till it's fixed. A little over a month goes by and I tell him to just get the bad one back and he said he would send it to my guy. A couple more weeks go by and he is supposed to bring me the good one. He shows up with both and says they he never got a chance to send the bad one and the other he isn't sure if it works. I get home and take apart the bad one and all the mosfet clips are missing, screws are missing, and mounting feet are missing. I'm a little hot by now and I open the "good one". Several mosfets are burnt and a big cap is totally not there.
Waiting on him to return my calls but I doubt it. Wouldn't post for opinions but I have a friend that has been waiting for his amps from the same guy for 4 months and want other people to know not to get "too" close to this guy. Although on the surface he seems like a great guy.

Man all of you guys are so violent and e thugish. Settle down and keep it in your pants.
I would call him again......and let him know that this thread is on here and that you really want to work this out without revealing who it is.... I'm sure he will man up and get you your amps back...

If he was a good friend you just need to let it go you took the chance when you loaned them out. This is the same as loaning a friend money the chances you ever get it back would be slim.
I guess be glad you got all four amps back and now can get the two fixed and move on. No loan policy from here forward. : (

this "person" seems to be doing a lot of shady things lately.i've even heard recently about some equipment being intentionally sabotaged by the same person.
i know that i absolutely will not deal with this person again. i've heard and experienced far too much lately.
jerry (audio extremes) is one of the most easy goin laid back guys i've ever dealt with... one of those guys that would do anything to help a friend.....
he's also one of those guys i wouldnt want to double cross either !!! anyone ever seen how big jerry is
jerry, i'm not naming the person myself, because its your issue.. but imo, i would just call them out so others stay away.
i'm debating whether to release the info i got .... or just wait and see if it happens again.... though.. now that they know i know (as well as others) perhaps it wont.

There's a "Big Shot" on here from the Mid West that "beat" someone from New England out of $200 bucks for a podium. Guess things like this happen all the time. Sorry he betrayed your trust, Extremes.
