Definately keep your eyes open on ebay. I just scored a cheap 2x12 with Eminence Legend speakers for £83 8)

haha fair enough. What heads you looking at?

I saw a mother of a deal when i saw an Engl Screamer 50 head on there for £300, i think it is still the same price and has only a day or something to go.

Edit: By the way you got yourself a kick ass deal!

Go for it if it stays cheap :D

I think this cab will need a bit of work, new grille and maybe some handles (dont know if its got any), but for the price you cant argue, the speakers are around £40 each anyway!

My dad doesnt seem to understand its a great deal, hes always skeptical about stuff on ebay :P

Haha, i really want this Screamer, but someone just put the price up to £360, i know you will probably be thinking, thats not much for a screamer, stop being such a tight bar-steward! But in order to afford a good cab the price needs to stay in that kind of region, thats why i was thinking of getting the GH50L because it is only £399 brand new. But the Screamer will do Metal a lot better and i really want an Engl, i might extend my cash boundaries and buy the head and wait a while till i get the cab, it will be a long process but i will be getting some kickass stuff for crazy prices!

Well you could always buy it now and save for the cab you want again..

I'm buying the cab 2 months before my birthday when I'll be able to have the head. Following Dakines advice of "being in the right place at the right time" or something like that I recall. Seems silly to miss a good deal on some gear just because you'll have to wait a while for the other bit.

Yeah Dakine looks like he has got himself some great deals with his gear, i think i might have to go all out for this Screamer because i don't think i will be finding one this cheap anywhere for a while.

Dakine · « **Reply #39 on:** October 09, 2006, 11:29:01 PM »

go for it, it's close to me but NOT me (this time).
Thinking it will go higher than that bud but ya never know.

Tom, saw ya deal, looks cool and IMO VERY good thinking (hey, my dad taught me so am not 'the sage' or anything lol, R.I.P. dad).

Patience,funds,right place ;)

Feels good when it works huh ;)

lol Yeah i know it will go up a bit since there are only 4 Engl amps on the whole Ebay. But i'm hoping it will stay down.

If you need a good but cheap cab, there's some Framus 2x12" loaded with Celestion V30 for 300€ in germany (10€ shipping).

Who is Framus? They good?

Crazy_Joe · « **Reply #44 on:** October 10, 2006, 07:06:06 PM »

Unfortunatley i don't think i can get the Engl, it's still the same price, but it is collection only and it is miles and miles away from me. I asked to see if the guy would post it, he hasn't replied and there is only 8 minutes of the auction left!

Edit: Yep it's gone, and only for £395!! That has pissed me off a lot!

Edit 2: I have found a back up head!
