Should I?

Since Guitar Center's having a great promotion right now(no payments or interest till '08), I've been eyeing a GK700RBII. I'm playing through an old Crate BT-350 that's seen better days. I'll have no problem paying the amp off in a few months but with Christmas around the corner, I'm feeling a bit selfish at the thought of buying myself a present.

As far as gifts go, the kids are taken care of and so's the wife. Should I or shouldn't I?:confused:

Are you gigging with any regularity? If yes, go for it, its a good investment in your tone and you won't regret it. It will sound worlds better than your current amp. If not, you could probably hold off for a while and likely don't need all that power. Let us know how you decide.

It all comes down to living within your means. You do not need a new amp, but you want one and there's nothing wrong with that. Consider how much money you make compared to what you are buying. Also consider this....however much you think you'll spend infull on this gear, Musicians friend WILL profit. So, is there a cheaper way to get the gear you want? What about saving up for the purchase? what about saving up half of the purchase? What about getting the loan at a cheaper intrest rate? Do you know what the intrest rate is? if not then you shouldn't finance it. What about a personal loan through your bank for a lesser amount and buying used? The fact that you asked an internet forum makes me think you're unsure.....if you are unsure, don't do it until you are. Deals come and go, and so does money
