Members freeridstylee Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 Do you really need an 1000 worth of amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members revontulet Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 Get your arse to a music store that does interest free credit... I'm pretty sure I got an email through a while back fomr reverbstore (what used to be soundcontrol) saying that they were offering 2 years interest free?

Members DanJep Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 I've heard of it coming out to something more like 3k rather than 2k. The interest is absolutely ridiculous and you can seriously hinder yourself from future gear purchases because you are stuck underneath on that you're still paying off.

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 I've done the 6 months same as cash deal a few times....but I aways made sure to pay it off before the interest kicks in. Every single time I've done it.....I have to scrape the money together at the last minute....in a panic. Which is even less fun because the honeymoon period has worn off long ago. Needless to say, I do not do this anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rdm Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 You do this...and let us all know how it works out. lulz A newspaper here in the US did a story on those loan places. They found that you get better interest rates by borrowing from the mob. No offense....but anyone who doesn't have gear, doesn't belong in a band. It's harsh, but that's my mentality. I've been in too many bands with dudes who didn't have guitars/amps/whatever and it was a burden on the band. After awhile it becomes a real pain in the ass having to turn down gigs because someone can't find an amp to play through. Find a friend to loan an amp, or if you're playing shows with another band, ask to use their stuff at a gig. Or...you can always get a POD and go direct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noise... Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 That's a terrible idea. I agree. If you need a gigging amp, look for an older, cheap Fender. Like a Princeton '65, Princeton 112, Princeton Chorus, or one of the Stage series amps. They can be had DIRT CHEAP. Like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members theboywho Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 Are you looking at getting stuff from a shop, or second hand?If its from a shop theres a big push from a goverment to get people buying stuff, and I know of at least a few shops with a scheme doing interest free credit (well, the goverment cover the interest) up to about 2k.

Members Loobs Posted January 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think I'll just use my bassists amp for a while. And save. It's just a case of seeing something and wanting it straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
