Members jhamnett Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 So, I'm up for a $25K fellowship with 9 other finalists that will be decided mid-April. No guarantees on whether or not I'll win, but they're looking for engineering grad students with interested outside engineering (aka... me). So, what do I get if I win. Covered with Strats and HB guitars, have my effects sorted out fine, and have some nice amps: Ampeg VT-22, modded Fender Hot Rod DeVille, and a Marshall JTM-60. In b4 Klon.

Members Mitchell? Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 What you shouldn't do is get excited and blow it on random {censored}. Save it until you really, really know what you want. You'll end up happiest this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look friggin sweet. the 2061x 20 watt head is NICE.....very nice! louder than you might think...... i would get a handwired/PTP head of some kind rather than one of the complicated PC board amps.....plenty of amps to choose from, LOTS of boutique companies making marshall clones that are easy to service and mod....

Members jrkirkish Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 25 KLONS!!!!!for the lulz.....then sit on them for a few years, and turn them into $50kprofit! Actually, this isn't a half bad idea.... I'd find what's missing in your life? Still driving that '89 honda civic hatchback? New (actually used, but low mileage) Honda Fit. Still got a 19 inch CRT TV? Wait another year and pick up a 46inch LED LCD HDTV for a grand. Actually, you're only going to have around $15K after taxes, and what you're doing now - counting your chickens before they hatch - is a really bad idea. Down payment for house? It's actually a really good time to buy a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
