  • If you had 2 grand

    What amp would you buy??? I'm in the market, lookin for a half stack with the ability to go to a full stack... Used Mesa, marshall??? Would you sacrifice buying new more inexpensive equipment for something higher quality off of fleabay... Keep in mind, it won't be used to gig for a while... Until my skill level is where in needs to be.... This amp will be use for 80's heavy metal and such..

      Guess I'll have to buy a used JCM800, cause you can't even touch the head for 2gs....

        Carvin V3 and a Carvin 4 x 12 half stack would be way under $2000.00 brand new. That amp RIPS.

          Find a used Marshall 1987X and get a 4x12 with greenbacks. You can probably get the whole shabang for around 15 to 1800 $.

            If you're on a budget, Randall will work also.

              Looking at Fleabay, think I'm going to go with the Mesa Boogie rectifier.....I can pick up a head for a little over a grand, leave plenty for a cab...

                      Splawn Nitro's been really luring my attention recently as well.

                          You'll want a JCM800 for 80's metal, save an extra $100 to put a TS-9 in front of it.

                              Funny you should ask. Seriously thinking about the new Line 6/ Bogner Spider Valve head with the Celestion Vintage 30 loaded 4X12 cab.
