If you're looking for cheap strings, especially D'Addario XLs, hit the warehouse sale at musicians friend. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ Also, Rogue 30w 1x10 for $50 I'll add more later, off to a meeting!
For those of you that love wide straps they have the Levy Leather 4 1/2 strap for only $35 - generally can't find these for less than $50. I have 2 of them and they are very comfortable.
Yeah really nice straps. If I didn't already have a Moody wide, Comfort Strapp and Low End strap I would pick one up!
$50 usually gets you 15w and an 8" driver, this is a fantastic deal in that it's 30w and a 10" for only $50. IMHO. It's probably not going to be fantastic tone, but hey, it's the most power I've seen for $50 new.
I think it's been at this price for a while, but I got a Korg AX3B processor for $50 from Musician's Friend the other week. I was looking for a decent headphone amp with a tuner and some home recording flexibility to replace my Ampworks from a few years ago. I gotta say - this thing is amazing. I am completely shocked by how far digital modeling has come in the last ten years. This thing blows away my original Bass POD (haven't tried the XT), runs on four AAs, and can fit nicely in a gigbag. While I appreciate the magic of standing next to a true SVT or Bassman, the odds of me buying another tube system in the future are getting smaller and smaller when I can score something like the AX3B for so little money.
