Members Toshiro Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 $400 it seems, give or take. Not much higher than the $350 they were at the last time I looked for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DirtyBird Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Originally posted by Shask That other thread showing the guts of a GH50L is kind of interesting. In all the years those amps have been out, I have never seen the inside of one.What are they going for now anyways? Im sure its not around $250 like they used to be... What other thread? I'd like to see this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toshiro Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Originally posted by Shask arent they only $500 new? Or did they finally quit making them? $750-800 new. They were that a few years ago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DirtyBird Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Originally posted by Shask arent they only $500 new? Or did they finally quit making them? It's strange, depends on the retailer, but they're either $750 or around $950...THere's this strange $200 discrepancy depending on where you look.

Members Shask Posted April 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 I cant imagine it now on todays gas prices.We almost all quit when it went from $1.50 to $1.80... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted April 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Well, it was 5150s for about $400, and GH50L for about $250 used. I can understand 5150s going up, since the new genres of music all seem to be using them. But the GH? They are still virtually unheard of...

The dollar is weak I suppose.The US national debt is horrendous... the dollar is going to landslide down into oblivion as soon as foreign lenders decide we cant be trusted to pay them back...Our money is everywhere, but it's only worth it if people trust it.But if we've got national debt this absurd.... that wont always be the case. There's going to be a point where the value of the dollar drops to the point that foreign countries will just ignore it.And that leaves the dollar worthless.But I'm hoping since we have our hands in so many international pots and our economy is so huge, that that wont happen...But you never know... I'm just paranoid. We're just spending too much. We're already going to be paying off that debt for several generations assuming it stops today.We're all indentured servants to King Bush.I think the figure comes out to something like 30 grand per person of national debt. We're financing this war in Iraq with millions of dollars in LOANS from RED CHINA with interest compounding continuously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just more people on the net in general, since most things have went up equally. Your not gonna find those Pawn Shops deals anymore.

See the thing is, there WAS national debt 5-6 years ago.The "surplus" just meant we didnt accumulate MORE debt that revenue that year.It was a surplus for those years... not a net surplus of debt.Scary.

Members Shask Posted April 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yeah, that graph is crazy. I dont even know what its for. By that pic, the added from the last few years looks like nothing, lol. Another nickel in a jar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DirtyBird Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 This is the debt without taking inflation into account, so even though it's increasing during the Clinton years, taking inflation to account it's just like the above chart. I found this one because it goes up to the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's killing the middle class, which is what finances the whole thing. WIthout the middle class, everyone is going to need to leech off the government, but the government wont be able to afford it. We're in for hard times later on if things dont change with the next president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression they probably sound relaly bright, fluid, and not very heavy i guess.... I mean I imagine a lot of gain, but it's a real liquidy kind of processed 80's rack type gain... for some reason. No idea why. It just doesn't seem like it would be a "heavy" amp.
