Just getting back into guitar after a looooong time. I'm kinda open minded here. Prob want to stay under 1k. Will mostly be using at home, probably not gigging anytime soon. I already have an oversized fender bassman 2x12 cab from the 60s with newer speakers.
I've been keeping my eye out for a decent V4 but I can't find anything local and most online appear to be overpriced, beat to shit and/or modded. I think this is a risky pick for that reason. On the other hand it seems to be a popular favorite for doom. Might be too loud for in house playing?
New Electro Harmonix mig-50. It's new, cheap, warranty and hopefully more reliable than the originals. Sovtek originals seem relatively liked in doom circles. I have read some feel the originals lack bass response, weren't clean enough for doom.
Some local options: early 80s JCM 800 2x12 combo. $1000 not horrible but a bit more than I wanted to spend. Seems like the doom community prefers amps based on the jcm 800 more than the originals? Also find silver face 50 watt bassmans and a cheap silver face PA100 as well as a plethora of Peavey 6505 heads and a couple solid state sunn amps cheapish.
I'm open to other options but since I don't have an amp, I'd like to pick up something soon and not wait much longer.
