Cheap Guitar Amp....

Fifilefleure

Hi All.. I've been away for awhile from boards but am now back. This is my first time posting in this forum and I need some advice. My friend just got a new electric guitar & is teaching herself to play. I'm just wondering if anyone knew where she could get a reasonable priced amp in the Dublin area or online? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Can't go far wrong with the Microcube. I'd say most of the music places in Dublin stock them. A few pop up on adverts.ie now and again.

Karl Hungus

Definitely the Microcube. Can be had for around 100 euro,

I would have to agree with the above posters and say get a microcube they're very versatile little amps. I mean they've got such a good name around here that there was a thread started asking "how to get that microcube tone"!!!

Another vote for our beloved MicroCube! :pac:

The Microcube is crap!

I am, of course, lying. I love that little guy, get one!

Hi folks... thanks for all your replies. Will def look into that one!! €100 is not bad at all!!

Dord

I forgot to mention, you have to get the red one. It sounds better.

Fifilefleure

Okay - know very little about amps....:p but what is the difference between the two?

Dord

One is black and one is red.

Aaaaahhhhh - it has all become so much clearer!! This tech stufff is so much simpler than I first though

Dord

Of course when it comes to guitars and basses, black ones always sound better.

Not when it's done well and on a beautiful instrument. In that case it can be so shiney it's hard to take a picture of.

Exhibit A of black instrument sexiness.



:cool:

Okay, that is one of the exceptions. Like a black Edwards LP with gold hardware. I'm just saying as a rule, I don't like it. For instance, I think the Eric Clapton sig Strat looks cheap to me. Should have a sexy finish!

+1..... anyplace to get it cheaper???:)

That's it but you'll get it cheaper in Music Maker on Exchequer st. (just off the beginning of Georges St.)

Feck ,124 bucks a bit steep in Waltons. Had a quick search on Ebay there and including delivery it'll be 100 Euro from the UK.
