What's the best "out of this world" deal you've gotten on gear?

My best deal was my Ibanez. I'm a lefty and they made a lefthanded Jem jr. for a year or so back in the 90's. I got serious GAS for one in about 2003.

I searched everywhere for one and was pretty much crap out of luck. So I called the North American distributor for Ibanez. They did a nationwide search and found one new in the box. It had recently been located while doing a warehouse inventory in a Colorado dealer's store so it hadn't even been on display.

I never represented myself as a music store. The Colorado store having been contacted by the North American distributor assumed that I was an Ibanez dealer and sold it to me at dealer cost. That cost was $375.00 which I was more than happy to pay.

I was expecting to pay at least twice that much.

That is crazy looking. In a good way. I've never seen such an amp before. It has me curious.
:thu:



best sounding solid state amp i ever heard. sort of like a vintage jazz chous.

the reverb isn't particularly great and there's no distortion, but versatile, tube-like tones and an great tremolo.
