I'm gonna miss my VHT :(

[hunter]

I was playing a gig with 3 other bands this weekend and they were all student age, I counted:
1 Diezel VH4
1 Framus Dragon
1 Krank Krankenstein
1 Axe FX
and admittedly 1 Marshall MG something

I guess some students can shell out serious $$ for gear these days

[HTH AMPS]

I had good gear when I was a student, but I bought used gear and worked my arse off all summer, and always had jobs in term time too.

I seem to recall having the following in my student days (at various times)...

* 50w Marshall Silver Jubilee head (paid £280)
* a late 70s Marshall 4x12 with 25w G12Ms in (£100)
* 30th Anniversary AC30 (was a LOUD amp, solid state rectification gave it more poke), £550
* Hiwatt Custom20 2x10 combo (£500)
* 63 Fender Twin with JBL D-120s (£450)
* Fender Tonemaster (bought for £300, second-stock)
* always had my 1991 Les Paul Standard loaded with Duncan Seth Lovers for probably 8 years
