guitar amp head for 300 or under

vilifiend	Date: August 12, 2005 @ 9:34 AM Say someone (me) needed an amp head, with 100 watts (not stereo) or greater, and only had $300 cash to spend. Anyone have a lot of experience with amps? For the 5 years ive been playing guitar, ive only owned a couple of combos. I have a 200w jackson cab sitting in my room that I really want to play out of. Interested in responses, thanks in advance.

Blaz	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 3:46 AM Yes you'll only get a SS head which is really a waste of money. You would hardly even get a tube combo for that price, so I suggest you save up for at least a good tube combo and plug it in your cab.

EtherEclectic	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 11:57 PM ever considered a B-52? i have a b-52 solidstate halfstack and the cab+head only cost 700... sure the heads are low price not a bad brand

woodhead	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 9:23 PM can you hook your combo amp to the cab?, IF your combo amp is older you amy able to do so, look on the back and see if you can? Also if you have a music goround where you live this is a good place to start, or you can always go to Ebay as well.
