Yeah, I'm a musician - my current amp is an old 82 Marshall combo w/ a 12" celestion.
I haven't upgraded in a long time, but then again, I don't play as much as I used to. Lately I started playing around with that RockSmith gadget on my PS3...it's a pretty sweet trainer. Built in DSP so you can call up almost any amp/effects combination you want. I did pick up a pretty dang nice guitar recently though - a buddy of mine was selling his RG1550...I think he was an idiot for getting rid of it - it plays so damn nice...i've never sounded better hahahah

That is a sweet score you got there...mint vintage Ampeg musta set you back a bit!
