I've alway's wanted a 5150, but never have gotten around to getting one. Now, I'm finding myslef getting away from the whole half stack thing, because I can't think of any possible sittuation that my Classic 50 would not be loud enough, and more than likely too loud. So, I just bought a 5150 2x12 combo!!! I'll be selling my Triple XXX head if anybody's interested, but am keeping the 4x12 cab..... just because :D

I've come close to buying a 5150 a total of 3 times throughout my history of GAS, but never did for various reasons. First I chose a Marshall AVT 275 over a 5150 combo, for some ungodly reason. My only excuse for that, is, it was before I got into tube amps and wanted the stereo amp to use my POD with. Then I chose a Triple XXX over a 5150 because the XXX was new and the 5150 was used, and I was a snob about stuff like that back then. Lastly, I wasn't really in the market for an amp, but the deal was just too good to pass up, but luckily the amp used to belong to one of my drummers friends, and he let me know that it had had a full beer spilled into in once. So, I turned away from the 5150 again.

Fastforward to this week.... I got a nice bonus check, and just couldn't handle holding on to the money for very long. Found the 5150 combo on ebay yesterday, and pulled the plug. Now I'll be sitting on pins and needles until UPS (gulp!) brings it to me. I'll be sure to give a full report once I've had some time with it.
