I have heard good things, but haven't played one.

IIRC they are hoboish JCM800s or something to that effect.

Yes, they are like, 95% accurate JCM 800 clones from what I understand.

I'd try and talk them down a bit if they'd still allow that. The price is... not great but they're not ripping you off either. They're supposed to be good maps for not a lot of bux. It will probably be bright and superloud. What cab would you be running it through?

I might look into trying to talk them down on buying it with a cab as well, if you don't have one already.

$300 would be a good price to walk out the door with it.

Lots of different Migs. I think that the Mig 50 is actually more of a JTM-45/Bassman sort of circuit. The Mig 50H, IIRC, is a bit more JCM-ish.

Anyhow, as long as the thing is in good working order, they are fantastic amps. You might wish to assume that you might need a tech to give it a look over and maybe some cap replacement. Also, the switches are often items that need fixing, due to Sovtek's use of plastic ones.

So it might need some work(because they haven't made them for a while, so any one you see will be relatively old) but they can be excellent maps.

Ah, this JTM-45/Bassman circuit dealie sounds intriguing!

Well, I've got the money and it's a pretty good deal and I've been needing a rock amp..

No cab at the moment.

I would probably get something with Greenbacks.

Yeah I have been looking at that one too.

I really do not need another amp though.

Im personally tired of going with ok deals and I'm currently saving up some cash to spend on the next really really good deal I find...

I've heard those amps are pretty sick though and would get one if I had the cash...

I also heard that they are relatively easy to mod :idk:
