Members gregovertone Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 Originally posted by preservation greg, if you don't mind me asking how much $ did you have to shell out for the hiwatt 50 ? well, i picked it up 6 months ago. they became cool shortly after, and it seems the prices have since gone up on vintage (possibly due to the crappy/overpriced ri's). i bid on 4 in 2 weeks. none went over $1200, and none hit the reserve. then one i bought was in chicago, so i emailed the dood and asked to pick it up with cash. the deal was for $1300. fair price, being as i got to play it. about a month later, a 73 dr504 like mine went for $1800 on ebay, in a bidding war. ridiculous. im half tempted to score any other vintage ones i find at reasonable prices. seems like a wise investment.

Members workinclasszero Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 I sold my Sovtek and got an Ampeg B-25, got exactly what I want out of it and I bet it would suit your tastes. Theres also the Vt22s and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beezdeez Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 Originally posted by preservation thats why i'm going nuts, b/c i can't really TRY many amps- maybe i should just sell 1 amp or both, and travel to Va Beach. i hear Alpha music is pretty gnar - maybe beezdeez can tell me whats good @ the beach... or D.C. ----------- whats the scoop w/ Top Hat ? i just checked their site...those prices are insane... Alpha has Tophats. They are really cool about letting you try things. I never asked to crank anything though, but they are really cool guys in there. Can't remember the name of the guy in effects but he is a really cool guy... Miles? The people who work there are talented players too, so you can get them to play a riff while you stand back and listen to the amp.Check out here too:http://www.audiolight.com/I saw some AC30s in there last time I was there. That's basically it though around here.I can't really help much with the question as to which amp though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beezdeez Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 Also, if you are possibly considering a JCM800, there is a guy selling one on the Norfolk craigslist for $1100. It says near perfect condition. I'm sure he'd let you try before you buy, no? http://norfolk.craigslist.org/msg/168890514.htmlPossibly try, like, then search for a better deal elsewhere?

Members gregovertone Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 that is absolutely true. the biacrown hiwatts seen to be floating +/- $1000 they were made after the 4hole Hylight era models, and are known for breaking up a little earlier. they still stay clean loud, just have a little more gain available, should you want it.

Members Diabolus_in_Musica Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 you can also find a ton of Hylight era (late 70's) 2 input HIWATTs w/ harry joyce stamps and super clean point to point wiring. Lately I've been playing my '78 2 input rather than my '76 4 input. Through the right fane speakers they just are just a dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slc_dan Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 I'm going to say it again. ampeg v-4, the eq on this thing impresses me everytime I play it. I don't think autolux used it for the album, but god damn, I can nail those tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
