ahh, i love people's sob stories about needing to downsize. i'll gladly reap the benefits.

even if i don't like it, i could more than likely get my money back (and then some) if i decide to resell it. how does it compare to the original gain/build wise?

good head/value/price to pounce on?
 
Hell yes....POUNCE!!!
If you dont like it....sell it for $500 :thumbsup:
 
I paid $350 for mine thinking I would flip it and make some cash, but I ended up liking the stupid thing :lol: :LOL:
 
Buy it and do the mods Psychodave posted on here. Very basic mods
 
Man for sure you will sell it with in an hour for double if everything on it is working properly. Great sounding amp.
 
man, i've always wanted an original 5150, but if this ends up satisfying my desires, i'd happily hang on to it (and perhaps do those simple mods that were mentioned).

haha, i've already claimed it. it's about a two hour drive from where i'm at, so i'll grab it tomorrow.
 
Amazing deal. The 5150 II has a little less gain, is brighter, is tighter, more upper mid focus than the original.
 
Hope you dig it. The II is my least favorite in the 5150 series. I know a lit of people who dig it, I'm just not one of them.
 
Man I had a 5150 and a 5150II at the same time. There was absolutely no difference in them whatsoever to my ears.
 
had the block letter and II at the same time for about a year. which one stayed? the II, and still own it to this day :rock:
 
Yeah, definitely a good idea to jump on this one. And who knows-you may end up preferring the II. Get an original and a/b them, sell the other. At the price you're getting this one at, why not!
