Though I'm guessing its still just a speaker being used as a mic and maybe a tone circuit built in, nailed to a breadboard ;)
Awesome deal. Dibs if you don't like it.

I now have an Orange Rockerverb 50 mk2 coming from auckland, and an Orange PPC212OB cab from the rockshop coming my way. I'm so excited! I wish I had enough spare cash floating around to run through some of the amazing amps you guys get, but this is definitely a massive step in the right direction for me :D

On a side note, time to figure out how much I can get for a secondhand Vox AC30C2... Haha

You shop are holding it until I can figure out what to do. I'm hoping that they'll repack it.

:shock: If I read that right Y90,740 is nearly NZ$1200. I paid US$96 plus postage, granted no hardware but I have all that in my parts bin.

What did you get?

I know I know, I go on about them way too much. My life will not be complete until I own a great jazzmaster.
Nothing at this rate...



Supposed to be a 60s Lacquer, Surf Green with tort pickguard and mastery bridge. Should be awesome if I manage to get it here. Still waiting to here back from either/both the seller and Youshop to figure out how to proceed. Might have to get it sent to my sister in Hawaii, and then have her send it here if I don't get a satisfactory answer. There go the savings I made be getting an awesome deal (although still should be significantly less than a new one).

He put it in a box that's over 30cm bigger than the case...

Have you thought about asking Youshop about repacking? Seems they offer it as a service, not sure if it has a size limit tho
