In my experience all that's just marketing and you won't notice any difference beyond a placebo effect. Save your money and either plug into the wall or get a cheap rackmount power strip if you need to power a bunch of effects.

You can absolutely get a used LMII for 450 or less, and they show up in the TB classifieds all the time. If you're schlepping heavy gear like an 810 already, though, you might look at one of the bigger Carvin heads, like the BX1200 or B1500 to take full advantage of your speakers, though even...

My recommendations would be Sennheiser HD-280's if you need isolation from ambient noise, Grado SR-60's or SR-80's if you don't. I haven't tried any AKG or UltraSone products.

I'm not too familiar with the economics of the bass amp market but there are a number of reasons why a European amp would be cheaper here in the states than over there, including VAT, larger-scale distribution through Guitar Center, and stiff US competition from Genz, G-K, etc.

Aligning all drivers in a straight vertical line should give you better midrange dispersion, meaning that the volume and tone the cabs put out is more consistent as you move horizontally with respect to your rig. Also it's easier to hear yourself with speakers closer to ear level.

There's nothing like a healthy religious faith to help you cope with the tough times as well as enjoy the good but I wouldn't recommend making financial decisions based on what you hear in your head while praying. Financial decisions involves a judgment call on someone's part. My original...

He asked in the op, "Should i just hope for the best or should i sell down to basics incase the family needs me?" This looks to me like he is asking for advice. I merely pointed out that he would be better off looking elsewhere than the internet.

I don't think the internet is the place for this at all. Talk to your dad. If he's not good with money then talk to a relative who is. Who are we to judge a situation like this without knowing the details of your family's finances?

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Price seems towards the low end of what I've seen them sell for in the classifieds here. I'd probably grab it myself if I hadn't preordered the LMIII.

Oh man I'd have to be desperate for cash to sell anything to an act like that. Sorry for your loss.

I guess you haven't run into that guy on these forums who only buys things he thinks he can flip for a profit down the road.

Anyone know what's up with the LMIII? Musicians Friend just recently pushed back the release a month from 5/22 to 6/22.

Hey, at least the neck is "BULLET PROOF" in case you're playing in a sketchy neighborhood and some thug happens to aim at the 2 inch wide piece of wood in your hands.

There's a huge difference between recognizing that a lot of powerful, influential Americans are Jews and believing that there is a Jewish conspiracy to destroy the "glorious aryan race" or whatever they believe. Then again I suppose musicians aren't necessarily known for their nuanced political...
