One thing to keep in mind:
I live in a country where there are no pawn shops, and the used market is a strange beast...anything "old" by sunno and ampeg etc cost A LOT of money usually...so, regarding actual used gear prices or bang for bucks value it's better to get advices from people in your area (or country
), to get a better idea of the actual market value etc. , perhaps lots of stuff I could write off because of the high prices I'm used to could be found way cheaper.
I heard only good things about avatar cabs, but I never got a chance to try one. I shiver in fear thinking about shipping costs
