3200RM for a solidstate amp !?! noooooo...
You've tested it, so you must know better than me. But don't you think you're gonna "look" better with a marshall AVT than with a Smarvo... As an average guitarist, I wouldn't jaw-drop in front of an AVT150

(i didn't like the DSL100, so i'm not recommending the Smarvo either, but that's not the point...)

for RM3200, you can get 3 little lanilei's...and uhh...well just go SG and search for a used 5150 combo.
what i wouldnt mind tho is a warhead combo.

5150 combo? Going there to get one and coming back with it is going to be a heavy affair. That thing is like 50kg.

I remember Swee Lee blowing them out a few years ago for like RM2000++ but I don't see it on their website anymore. They have lots of XXX though.

well a friend of mine actually went there by himself and brought back a 5150 combo for just under RM3k.
this was about 2-3yrs ago tho.

btw, i heard when the ibanez valbee came in sweelee had a sale of SGD299 for it.
sure beats the RM1k price of it here.

Your friend drove there or handcarry it back? If you friend actually hand carry it, respect!!!

well his parents house is in JB, so guess he borrowed the car there and drove down
the amp isnt 50kg anyway.
i tried carrying it, feels just around 30kg.
so just possible to carry it and then dying on the road after a few meters

EDIT.
hmm well peavey says its unpacked weight is 84.50lbs, so 38kg.

I wouldn't mind a Triple xXx combo....... but driving down to Singapore, bringing it over..... aiyo...... soooooooo mah fan......

even if you save RM1000?

I consider that travelling expenses.....
If anyone knows where I can find a Peavey XXX Combo in Malaysia, do let me know..... And NOT second hand.

hmm, so lets see...
from plans for a 4x12 tube half stack, to 4x12 ss half stack...and now to a 2x12 tube combo...
eventually its gonna lead down to the little lalinei

Who said 4x12 SS half stack?
It's the AVT150x combo lah.............

And yes...... I'm still sticking to the Marshall for now.......

Pix is just jealous because I can squeeze out better tones from my little AVT then his big ol' Tube Amp........

ok, let's list down all average amp (<3K RM) that we can find in malaysia & singapore and make a comparison.

1. Marshall MG series
2. Marshall AVT series
3. Peavey Bandit
4. Peavey Transtube series
5. Ibanez TB Series
6. Laney LX/HCM Series
7. Roland Cube Series
8. Fender FM Series
9. Fender Frontman Series
10. Fender Princeton Series
11. Fender Stage Series

err... i think that's all i can find in kuching....

how bout VOX AD series?
since the cubes are up there =)

Peavey Bandit and Transtube are the same thing dude.

You need to add Vox AD series and Line 6 Spider series.

Out of all those though, I will take the Peavey Transtube series anyday. Some of the best sounding solid state I have ever played.

well he said hes in kuching...perhaps those amps arent available there?

Yup, i can't find any VOX or line 6 Spider II amp in kuching here...

ohya, thanks for remind me of that peavey bandit r under transtube series... =)

i used to play alot with older version peavey bandit before.
but new version looked and sounded so different to me... >__<

how do u think?

got line6 spider II at lee's lah. saw em before. looks like u havent been there in a long time.

anyways, i remembered seeing jim dunlop straplocks there for rm30+ but then ppl in this forum said it was too cheap. maybe i recalled wrongly. can u remember the price?

forgot the price already.
better ask ah nick whose all bass guitars r using straplocks.
