If they are both in working condition, that is a steal!

dredd · #4 07-15-2011, 04:09 PM

Chef FourString · #5 07-15-2011, 04:12 PM

Dude, if they work well than you might just have the buy of the year. Props on finding that deal.

dredd · #6 07-15-2011, 04:28 PM

he said it all is in good condition except the cab is sanded and painted instead of tolex, which idgaf about. lol

Its a good deal...I have the B2R (350H in a rack format) and an 810e and its plenty loud. It's a reliable solid state amp. It isn't my SVT2 Pro but its much lighter and easier to transport than the 2pro. Let us all know what you think when you get it.

dredd · #8 07-15-2011, 04:45 PM

ill post more info after i look at it in an hour or so.

staindbass · #9 07-15-2011, 04:49 PM

test it before you leave, bring your bass. seems too good/cheap to be true!

dredd · #10 07-15-2011, 04:51 PM

i am going to for sure play it on my bass.

if it plays / sounds well i don't know how else it could be not legit, lol

If ya can, check if all the drivers are original. Or at least matching.

Sartori · #12 07-15-2011, 07:07 PM

Test it at loud volumes. If it sounds good and there aren't any issues, go for it. Then take the head to a tech, just to make sure.

Dead Boy · #13 07-15-2011, 07:14 PM

if its all primo cond than pick it up. make sure you play it hard and loud while testing it

dredd · #14 07-15-2011, 08:20 PM

when i tested it i played it really loud and it lost a bit of tone, sounded a little off so i tohught something was ****ed, i eventually talked him down to 450$ because of it... when i got it home i tried it again and it sounded perfectly fine... he said he hadnt played it in a while so maybe it hadnt been warmed up or something... it is so loud at my house though and great tone.

ill take the head to a tech anyways to be sure... maybe some wiring needs re soldering

dredd · #15 07-15-2011, 08:23 PM

any info on what may be happening would be nice..

all the speakers in the cab are working fine, im 90% sure if theres anything wrong that its the head..

im taking it in tomorrow to be sure.

Good plan, garages are no place to store MI amps.
