Hey, does anyone have any experience with this amp? I have the opportunity to get one locally for $250... Is it a good amp?
$250 for an MA1202? Is it broken? That's a great power amp. $250 is a steal. Depending on the speakers you're going to be pushing, the wattage may be a bit low, but for $250 I'd buy it just to re-sell. That amp lists for $2400, street price is about $1400.
Havent played one but I have heard good things about them. Ive know of a used 2402 for $650. Yours sounds like a good price.
Sorry, it's a Microtech 1200. He says it's used, but he consigned it at a pro-audio place that stands behind everything they sell.
Ok, well I've been offered Big String's PLX 2402 for a little over double the price of the Crown... If I bought the crown, I'd have a lot left over for a quality pre, but If I bought the QSC I'd have to wait a little to get some money for a good pre (I currently have a back-up amp that I could use). I really like the fact that the QSC is so light, One of my friends has one, and his rack is very easy to transport... I am 17, so I don't have back problems or anything, but for just convienence's sake...
Hey Scotty, if you can turn back time, I'll bet you're going to get a lot of takers..... stand by Dude.
Hmmm.... decisions, decisions.... The QSC has more wattage, so you could be pretty sure that you wouldn't need more amp for a long time. And it's light. The Crown has a fair amount of wattage, and may be plenty for you depending on the cabinets you're going to be driving. If you're got plans for an Acme rig, or a PA-style subwoofer, the Crown may not cut it, but with most typical bass guitar cabs it'll be fine. Both are well built and have great reputations. That's about all I can tell ya........decisions.....decisions....
