Hi everyone,
Did any of you ever use the "Thin" busking Amp? It is on sale in Castlebar for
€179 new....nice and light, easy to transport. It is 10 W.

I sing my own songs on a semi-acoustic steel string and wonder if this amp would be powerful enough.

I am after something that is not too heavy to be dragging around, with good sound quality and for €200 or less if possible.

I think buying something new is a good idea, but would like to hear your advice on buying second hand, or safe sites/places to buy from.

any feedback appreciated

You'll get more help from the Music Forum, maybe try there or perhaps a mod can move this for you.

Be careful.... amplification by street performers is about to be banned in Galway city by the City Council and that could pave the way for other councils to follow suit.

The Instruments forum caters for amp recommendations too.
