Cool! ......but did you notice the price??

Finger Stylish 08-04-2017 11:27 AM

Look is very Awesome but the price is ridiculous. BT Barnum would be proud!

You know, if they wanted $1800 of my money, they could just build a better portable PA system, not dress the old one up in the toy soldier nonsense. Moreover, what age group are they trying to appeal to?

"Handfuls sold" - Methinks Fishman jumped the shark on this one... ;)

That's Musician's Friend's price. It's $1,899 at Guitar Center... ;)

Just buy a regular one ... in a few months of gigging the cover will flake off and it'll look a lot like that one!

How hard would it be to do yourself?

The relicing is well done. I might not make it so overly military though.

TheShadowKnows 08-05-2017 08:16 PM

It doesn't even have rubber feet! I, at least would've put mini-tires off of an R.C. airplane to REALLY make it look cool. I think they were standing behind a running Army Jeep when they were thinking of the price.

But I guess if you've got wads 'o money with nuttin' to spend it on....

This is a hoax, right? At $1700.00?

bsman 08-07-2017 03:56 PM

That's embarrassing. I had one of those (non-crazy model) and sold it when I got a performer. For $329 the Loudbox Mini is a great amp. For $1700 it's a joke...

It's on the MF website, so I'm venturing a guess it's not. But just to be sure, I called MusiciansFriend & they said they only have 1 in stock and that amp is discontinued. He wasn't sure if Fishman discontinued it or if MF was no longer carrying it, but that's the word from the horse's mouth.

I'd rather buy a used Marshall stack for that $$$!
