Gallien-Krueger Goldline 810GLX 8x10 Cabinet $299

Sign in to disble this ad
Use code 002T and it's $299.01 (list $999.00)

I have absolutely no need for one of these and I'm still tempted.

yea, that is insanely cheap. The speakers alone would be worth more than $300. I wonder if it sounds horrible.

CARDBOARD!!!

Posted by bassripper from Sauk Village, IL on Mar 10, 2009

Experience w/product: I have used it

Reviewer's Background: All around instrumentalist

Reviewer's Play Style: anything

My friend own this piece of machinery. he lives in an apartment and this thing is a monster to carry by oneself. We were going up the stairs and we dropped it on its wheels and the wheels broke the wood going into the cab. The horrible site to see was picking out the pieces and realising that the cabinet was made out of cardboard...you heard me right CARDBOARD. the overall sound wasn't affected but, cardboard. If you plan to get this...Be carefull dropping it will cause it to shatter. GK you disappointed me.


Here apparently

Dead code. Whatever it was, it looks like a February code to me.

It may just not apply to that item. What was the deal?

If it was in those things they send with the orders, I think you have to do it by phone only.

Yeah, it was one of those. Seems odd they would limit it to phone orders but who knows. Don't have the flyer handy anymore. One way to find out I guess...

Sheet of glass and you've got yourself a fine coffee table.

I've been through it a few times with these. Some offers there are incredible and show up nowhere else.

There are reasons why they have "phone-only" stuff, and it's mainly because you can't get additional discounts from eBates and other online rebate systems, which also come out of MF's pocket.

The deal on these in-box promo codes (last time I asked) is that they're good for two months: "002" is for February, good through March.

Weighs 158 pounds; thought the use of soemthing other than wood might be more than just a cost savings
