LMII discontinued??........yep

I just raised the price to $749, but I'll include the vintage manual at no extra charge:D

That's all? I still have the box, all original packing materials, plastic bags, wire ties, invoicing including the print out of my GC in-system ordering. Also, mine's one of the 'early' export models...you know, before they had to ramp up production numbers and quality control started to slip. ;)

Oh man, that's the pre 50% recycled packaging material. I understand they chopped old growth hardwood to make those boxes at that time. I also understand the wire ties were oxygen-free copper with Indian rubber coating. I'd hold onto that one you lucky bastig:hiding:
 
Nothing wrong with that they're just upgrading to the LMIII.

The real measure of the company will be whether they continue (like Peavey) to support and carry parts for their discontinued amps 30 years from now...
 
Am I the only one who's totally happy with the LMII as it is and has no desire to buy an LMIII or Tube? Hell, Ken just bought one sight unseen! I guess maybe I'd look more forward to it if I was still using it as a main amp. But I'm thinking between the LMII and the VT Bass pedal, I'm getting pretty much all anyone can out of a solid state amp, and a single tube or a better limiter (which I never hit ever anyway) aren't going to make or break me.

I'm perfectly happy with mine. Did away with every last ounce of amp GAS for me. Does everything I need it to, nothing I don't need it to, and weighs next to nothing. I couldn't imagine needing anything else.

No, I'm perfectly happy with my LMII too. If I were to buy another amp, it would have to be an all valve head, or something similarly dissimilar to what I already have. :)

You forgot the improved EQ points...but then again, does anyone actually use their EQ on a Little Mark?

i am pretty happy with my LMII--i might one day step to the F1, but not until i can afford the swap :)

I get the tone i want, and i am happy--i might like if i could biamp, but then again, maybe i'll just pick up one of the many LMIIs that i predict are about to be posted on TB for cheap and just go with two ;)
