Desperately wanted one, but all the reviews suggest “useable volume” is still bloody loud. So practicality might rule it out for me...Wairarapajack wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:25 pm Speaking of 20w tube amps, I do like the look of the Marshall Studio Vintage combo. It is very pretty and claims to do the Plexi thing at useable volume.
What are you gassing for?

Re: What are you gassing for?
If you get a chance to test one out let me know how it goes. I'm very happy with my fender Deluxes (tweed clone and reverb reissue flavours) at the moment, but having more options is always nice!
Re: What are you gassing for?
What about the Marshall Origin series? They have the power scaling on them so makes them a lot more useable outside of the arena's us folks usually frequent

I was not a fan of the one I demo'd at the RS a couple of months back. Lots of upper mids. No bottom end.Mini Forklift wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:39 pm What about the Marshall Origin series?

Re: What are you gassing for?
I had one of the 50w heads, thought it was pretty good and excellent value. FWIW I was fairly underwhelmed when I played one at the Rockshop... shove it in your front room and turn it up though ooooh

Re: What are you gassing for?
I’ve got the horn for a strat, but not a lot of money - what’s the best value for say under $1000? This looks like it will get me a Squier CV or a G&L tribute. There’s also Vintage V6 with Wilkinson hardware, or Yamaha for a bit less $$, and in an ideal world we would swamped by MIM strats for $600, but this doesn’t seem to be the the case.

Re: What are you gassing for?
If you could stretch to around $1250 you could buy a loaded fender vintera body and neck from www.stratosphereparts.com do it in two orders a few days apart so you avoid GST, I did this for my roadworn 60s strat and saved about $800 on new...

Re: What are you gassing for?
I thought this was only for strats, been GASsing for a tele and the options on TM and FB have been rather disappointing, glad they've got teles here too! Did you have to pay twice for shipping with two orders a few days apart?jeremyb wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 2:12 pm If you could stretch to around $1250 you could buy a loaded fender vintera body and neck from www.stratosphereparts.com do it in two orders a few days apart so you avoid GST, I did this for my roadworn 60s strat and saved about $800 on new...

Geez Jb, I just had a look at that site. It felt like an abbatior; queasy and wrong!jeremyb wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 2:12 pm If you could stretch to around $1250 you could buy a loaded fender vintera body and neck from www.stratosphereparts.com
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

The G&L and Vintage stuff both have good reps for the dollars. That's where I'd be looking.yoggo wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 1:53 pm I’ve got the horn for a strat, but not a lot of money - what’s the best value for say under $1000?
