I'm Getting My First Amp!

Tomorrow, after a couple months of failed deals on Craigslist, I will make the transaction on my first amp.
It's a Fender BXR 100 that I'm buying for $100. I know its not the world's best amp, but it should do for what I plan on using it for. I'll post pics after I get it. (Assuming it passes my rigid test. (Not really. My test is fairly easy to pass.) )
 
Good for you.

Nothing wrong with that amp and for $100 you can't lose.

If you need more power down the road if you start to rehearse or gig, I doubt you would do worse that getting all your money back on the Fender.

Many starting out go for the 20-30 watt practice amp. THOSE IMO are a waste of $$$ unless you only ever plan to play in your bedroom.

Post pics when you get it and let us know how it sounds...
 
This thing is much louder than I thought it'd be, I can really shake floor. It puts out decent tone, too, until I crank it up to about 8, but I think that is to be expected. I'm very happy with it though. For $100, this was a great deal IMO.
