Members MattCrane Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 The time has come. There is one on ebay my eyes are on the rattler. Doe's any one else here own one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonny guitar Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 I had a mig 50 for a short while. Great tone but the build quality is pretty shoddy imo....but they sure sound nice. Personally, I would take an old Traynor for around the same money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LongJohnny Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 The Mig series is hit or miss. Some are built using good parts, some use some shotty parts. I have rebuilt probably 10 of them, and they are super simple to get gig ready. I just replace the pots, switches, and a few capacitors and it is ready for anything. I have a thing for their sound and still have 2 mig 50's. They are a little different, but they are in the same ballpark, soundwise. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MattCrane Posted April 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 The buildmanship that is great its the parts that suck. I know that the mig 60 is the better of the bunch for parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Uma Floresta Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 I was thinking about getting this Mig, but it was a bit out of my price range: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NoirAbattoir Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 I think there are better buys on the used market if you are patient. The traynor idea is a good one. Bedrock, Univox, Kustom, and other obscure tube heads can be found for a song and a dance. I just bought a Nomad Mustang 65 EL34 50 watt head. It has excellent build quality and sounds better than the couple of Sovtek heads I have owned in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Leftside Posted April 19, 2006 Members Share Posted April 19, 2006 I've got a mig60... I love it. Picked it up for like 300 a few months ago - I have two very clean/fenderish ampeg amps that I use more often but whenever I want marshally heavy stuff it's great. I love the lo channel with a big muff or similarly voice fuzz too... I'm tempted to put KT's in it but I'm not sure if it needs 66's or 88's I always mix up the two.

Members MoreGuitars Posted April 19, 2006 Members Share Posted April 19, 2006 Did Electro-harmonix import these? Are they more "Marshall" sounding than "Fender"? Curious, I've never played one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
