[gsonique]

The champ is super pedal friendly ...and i have seen em used *mic'd up* at gigs ...not here lah !! All it needs >>> volume cranked max and don't look back :lol:

 

[subversion]

i'm putting it head-to-head against the Pro Jr...

 

[ewan]

The list price is ridiculously expensive for a 5w amp.

 

[subversion]

it's a tube amp, & it says 'FENDER'- these account for the price...

 

[suckasucks]

epiphone, crate, fender, ibanez, krank all have came up with 5watters. when's MARSHALL starting? i'd def get a JTM5 :lol:

 

[ewan]

hmm... it's more the 'Swee Lee' sticker than the 'Fender' one that accounts this time. It is listed at Euro175 on a well known german website. And actually I am surprise because europe price are usually higher.

 

[shioks76]

Ill have to say the price is ridiculous. When i was at the states it was going for US $200. Current price at music123.com lists it at US $175. Converted back its s$330 max. Even with shipping factored in plus the cost price for a dealer. No way its worth S$600.

For that price id suggest someone save up a bit more and go for the vox ac15.
15w all tube with 12 inch speaker. Really got to hand it to city music. Pricing is really close to international prices.

 

[thor666]

It's a list price. But anyway, it still seems like the Epi VJ is more worth it.

[xklusivly4u]

I wont complain list price 600S$ for 5W fender tube amp.
Fender Princeton 15W sells in UK at 3000 S$ (1000 GBP).

 

[ebenex]

nice.

 

[skink83]

Its strange cos the champion is about 150 quid, a bit more than the US price. Usually prices in UK are a bit higher cos of the 17.5% tax, but the princeton seems a bit way out. There should be some reason for that though.

new @ swee lee: Epiphone Les Paul Plain Top (List: $950)

played this guitar the other day- very appealing through Fender's Champion 600 8)

 

[Xypher]

How does the plain top differ from the LP standard? Other than the paint of course.

 

[subversion]

plain top- no maple cap.
