dood...i know what you are feeling. i had the same feeling when i subsequently bought my vox ac-30, orange halfstack, gibson combo, magnatone combo,...mmm...memories...nick_a wrote:Where does it stop for you guys? Where do you draw the line?
Agreed. Fuckin $1600.00?Scodiddly wrote:I dunno, $1600?
It may be worth that much to you, but it sure seems like you could get a better deal all the way around.
First off, are you going to be gigging with this amp? Is the worry about it being stolen on a gig acceptable?
Second, why do you like that one so much? Has it been very recently serviced/rebuilt? I could easily see finding the same model much cheaper and spending a few hundred on professional service to bring it up to "restored", doing the cosmetics later (or not at all, to discourage theft).
If this amp is getting some magic from worn parts, that phenomenon won't last. Better to be certain that the magic sound comes from things being in good shape, because that state can be maintained just about forever.
Here's one concrete test you can perform, too: You want to make sure this amp has the right amount of power for your needs. What you do is borrow a dB meter (or just buy the $30 one from Radio Shack) and get a reading from your current amp at a gig. Then take that to the store and see if the dream amp can reach the same SPL level with a good sound.
