rarely theylle go for that cheap. Usualy like 400-500$ for the more beaten up ones.

well i played it at a local music shop

the tone isnt concentrated enough, its all over the place
i didnt exactly get to crank it, but i had it pretty loud, id like abit more gain. this head sounded like a watered down dying fetus amp

1) Musicstop only carrys JCM 2000's (Valve's and MG's more then anything).
2) The Cab is $1,150 new.
3) I can't find deals like that when I have the money.

Edit:

Hey Necro_butcher, do you go through musicstop on PEI or another place, and if it is musicstop why do you get WAY different gear then Halifax?

__________________

hahahah a music stop in pei, good one


im not exactly sure what you mean by different gear

but i tried out the crate BV 120 in a small small music store

whats the selection like where you are?

Well In halifax there is a few, but the 2 I go to are:

Dartmouth, On Main Street (20 min walk, or 5 min drive away)

Guitars:
1 Jackson DX
1 Ibanez (sg? not RG but the series starts with an "S")
8 Fenders
5 BC Rich's (1 plat warlock with licenced floyd and a pint job like a gibson gothic, ironbird body art crap, Bronze warlock, S.O.Beast thing, and the KK warlock (red tribal)
a few gibsons (one flying V)
and 3 Epi.

Amps:
Heads:
Peavey XL supreme
JCM 2000

Combos:
MG's 15watt-100watt
a few fenders
line 6 sipder (50 watt)
Peavey XXL

Thats really it

The big one in Halifax:

A crap load of low end BC Rich's
2 Jackson DX's
1 jackson Kelly
No Ibanez's (was there today with BassB. thats how I know)
25 fenders
2 or 3 Les Pauls
an unholy pile of Epiphones
thats all i can remember

Amps:
Heads:
JCM 2000 lead
some amp head i cant remember the name, and didn't want to try it out

Combos:
Peavey XXL
Peavey XXX
Marshall valvestate (100watt)
Mg's 15-100 watt
Line 6 spider 2 (100 watt)
I thimk theres one more but thats really it.

There is a store on quinnpool raod that has a few gems in there (ask BassB. he found his dream bass hahaha)

Randall RG's 50, 75, and 100 (combos)
Randall Titian and RS? 100 (its not a RG) (heads)
Schecter guitars

Nothing too brag about but they treat you like a human being in there, unlike musicstop.

P.S. Now you know why I always say there is NEVER anything good around here, and evey one has the same Rigg.

if you didn't get to turn it past like 3 then you might as well not even played it....
my guitarist used to own a bv120h, he sold it to a friend who i've barrowed it from on several occasions... very nice amp... it's not very noisey, loads of gain, good tight sound and a suprisingly effective mid control....
definately capable of being brutal... hell jack from canibal corpse used a bv300. and now jeremy uses it.

as for the watered down dying fetus comment... dying fetus has a really bad guitar sound... no tone....muddy, shrill, buzzy, sound. definatly s.s.
i'm thinking randall and or older peavey s.s. stuff. but if i'm wrong about that put me in my place.
but i've gotten tones from a bv that dying fetus could only dream of having...



holy shit you're getting fucked over... even on new stuff...

it's called the used market.... a jcm 900 half stack setup can easily be had for under $1,000 u.s. $$$ my friend bought his for about that much from a local store...

the BV's aren't bad. for their money, though far from my favorite amp, they aren't bad. shame I can't get my hands on a bv300 over here, I played a 120 in Ibbenburen (germany) though I reckon its allmost impossible to get decent tube saturnation with 300 watts. the 120 sounds better then the other models I tried before. but I don't know about the 300 yet.

Your forgetting that hes canadian and his money sucks compared to ours.

not really, in ontario its a little less, not by much but it is less.

maybe on some of the more recent shit, but they certainly so not have 5150 tone, that's for sure...

the bv50 short chasis head is the shit... i want to hunt one down and buy it so i can rack mount it(being short chais so it's the perfect 19" size) the 50w is better for a warmer sound and i could just team it up with another poweramp if i needed more than 50 tube watts.
that would be my neato backup rig.
but the bv300 is very cold, dry, and sterile even at gigging volumes(at like 3)... but suprisingly it's not a bad kind of sterile/dry/cold... it atually makes it a very interesting sounding amp... though i still prefer the older models.

__________________

I've seen them play ages ago and they played 5150's. seen some recent livephotos and they played the same.

I agree they have fucked them up pretty well. heh.

that's sad... i could swear in my drummer's "killing on adrenline" booklet they have a bunch of s.s. peavey and randall stuff in the background. which isalso what most of their recordings sound like...

but if they can get that bad of tone from a 5150 i feel bad for them...

__________________

I agree, its pretty bad.

if you look on their website, theres some pics of them, like this one:

http://www.dyingfetus.com/pics/mikegalaxy03.jpg

and theres other pics with JCM2000's in the picture too, I think I saw them on more of their pics from last year, they used 5150's when I saw them ages ago... but apperently they can rape jcm 2000's too.
