Ok, long story short, I am buying my first "real" amp after playing for 16 years. I am leaning towards a boogie because I heard this local Atlanta cat Barry Richman wailing through one several years ago.
I am totally uneducated an amps, and I don't get to buy equipment very often, so I want the best I can buy for my money (like everyone else). I have a budget of around $800. I play a Lonestar Strat, and play bluesy or folky rock with some jazz thrown in.
I heard the DC5 is purty sweet. Also, the Lonestar would've been cool, but it costs too **** much. I saw a dc5 on ebay for 800...is that a decent price?
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be so appreciative because I feel lost. I also heard the Marshall JCM900 is a great amp too, though I realize that is not a boogie. Again, thanks for any and all input. It's tax refund time!
