Ampeg Micro-VR Stack $200

I ordered two stacks at the $299 price from Music123, and have now received emails that they are on the way. With the rebate, this was a great opportunity.

I plan on selling the heads, but the cabs will be pried from my cold, dead hands. :)
 
I just called Music123 to get an update (they were closed Fri and Sat). What's weird is they said my cabinets and heads were shipping out at the same time (I ordered two sets as well).

I tried to get her to tell me when it would be and she said she couldn't say (but the guy I talked to last time said it'd be the 7th). She said they're expecting to get the heads in on the 6th or 7th and 14th.

One thing I wonder though... Will the "purchase date" be considered the date that the full charge is applied? Or will it be considered the date that I placed the order online? I'm guessing that it's going to be the date that the money is taken from my account... If that's the case, no rebate for me as the rebate stated that the combo needed to be purchased before the end of the year.

Although, I may try to send in my Music123.com order receipt... Online, it states that the order was placed and paid on 12/07... That may be my best shot. I just hope that the UPCs from the heads and cabs get here before the 15th.
 
both of mine will be here next week, tues for the cab not sure about the head as ups hasn't updated yet but i have tracking for both. I'm just wondering about the $179 being the only charge from them.. so i should get the rebate would be nice if i got the stack for $79 :D
 
My amp and cab are out for delivery.....but I was charged $324.24. I emailed Music123 and said they forgot to price adjust the 123% price match and free shipping...and now they have credited me the difference (They said I'll see a credit in the next few days) making my purchase price $230...or $130 after the rebate....should have gotten two! :)
 
Well the head showed up early today and all i can say is wow!
That little sucker can push hella air i was shocked at how loud it is.And it sounds great!
Not sure how close to a real vr it sounds but it does sound similar to my SVT II no pro
and it weighs next to nothing. Perfect little practice/small gig amp.Crank the gain and it gets nice and dirty.
 
Finally!

Mine is on it's way... Although, I received 2 different shipping confirmation emails...

The first one had two tracking numbers (3 packages each).

The second one had three tracking numbers (it included the first two tracking numbers from the first email, as well as a different tracking number that hasn't had a status update).

Anyway, it looks like both stacks will be here by Friday (tomorrow!).

[edit]Alright, the other tracking number updated... I thought each tracking number had a total of 3 packages (for a grand total of 9 packages), but I'm guessing it means each tracking number belongs to a single package, for a total of three packages (there must be a single cab in two separate packages - 32.5 pounds each package, and two heads in another package 31.10 lbs). How much do these heads weigh? 31.10 lbs seems high for two heads.

Weird how they all left KC at different times, but will all be here Friday.
 
If anyone is still waiting on their rebates, mine just arrived today.

Funny thing, the rebate center must really be overloaded. Or, they deliberately wait on sending these things out. The check is dated 02/10/11.

$600 and change for two stacks, sold one head for $235, $200 in rebates, this puts me @ $165 for an awesome setup that's become my main gigging rig.

I just got mine today too (the rebate) as yours was, the check is dated 2/10/2011 that's some wait for a rebate, I bought my amp at the end of 2010 and mailed the rebate right after jan 1st.
