So... Things have been moving rather quickly here, and no sooner did I try out all those lovely amps that I reported back in the other thread, then the very next day, I randomly walked into a guitar shop I have never been into before, and spot what I was looking for sitting in the corner... I looked at the price, and noted it was Already reduced from the list price to the showroom floor price, which was a good R1k or so more than the best price I had been offered elsewhere, so I didn't think much of it.... I then was about to leave, when one of the guys from the shop came to chat... Whillst chatting, I pointed out the amp, and said thats what I'm looking for, but that I could not afford the price on the label, especially since I could get it much cheaper elsewhere, when he mentioned that this particular amp had been in the store a while, so he could let it go cheap.... I laughed to myself, thinking that he'll maybe knock R500 off at best, when he suddenly tells me he could do it for R1600 LESS than their marked down price!! This made it barely more than the used version I was looking to get! I really coudln't believe my luck! Next hurdle was the cash! I had raised so much of the money, but had been that messed around over other items, including the Orange amp, I had still not raised enough to buy it at this point, so I had to approach the 'better half' to see if we could 'swallow up the difference' until I managed to sell the other stuff. At this point, I was already out of the shop, and about to go fetch my oldest from school.... Thankfully, the missus was supportive, and was able to work some magic.... So I quickly jumped out the car, and so..... Without further adoo.... I am now the proud new owner of (yes you guessed it) a Vox AC15C1 combo!!! ? To say I'm over the moon is an understatement! I have to be honest and say that I was starting to doubt that I was going to get this amp, and really couldn't believe that I was blessed enough to see this one for such a bargain! I wasn't able to test it in the shop, so I had to effectively buy it blind, but I wasn't worried since it now had the guarantee, which wouldn't have been the case with the used one. Normally I would plug and test, but I really had to get to the school to fetch my boy. So first things first, I got it home after agonisingly feeling every bump exaggerated along the long drive around half of Cape Town fetching my boys and finally reaching my home. I plugged it in, and WOW!! Love it! I'm afraid you won't be able to see pics till tomorrow, as I haven't had a moment to take any yet. But until tomorrow..... Cheers G!

Thanks bud, and the same to you! I've always had issues with GAS, and continuously get into trouble with the misusususussususs, but she's very mercyful, and hasn't filed for divorce just yet (I hope!)!

I do tend to get a little carried away, and get impatient, especially when trying to desperately sell stuff to pay off anything I already owe, and trying to raise extra cash to relieve my 'GAS'.... I currently could do with raising about R5k to satisfy my 'GAS'! I'm sure though that would only be a temporary relief?

Cheers
G!
