    Ah, no wonder I couldn't find it in my Musician's Friend catalog...
    8^)

    
    
      ...and I've been looking over these two catalogs as of late. They
    must send out a lot of them suckers! AMS does tend to have better
    "blow-outs" for discontinued items.

    Ok, fess up B[][]M -- when did you play one of these??

    Complete report should be forthcoming..I ordered one, I figured with
    my zoom processor , this 80 watt micro amp is just what the Dr.
    ordered.

    Hey...I would like to know about this amp too!!  I like those lil'
    gadgets. If its sounds anything like a GK I'd go for it!!  That's a
    darn good price...Does any local music stores carry them???  It would
    just be something to put on my keychain.

    Who is AMS, & where do you get the catalog ? -Paul

    American Musical Supply, check the mail order sources note (411) for
    the 800 number.  They'll send you one for free.  If you order something
    from 'em (heck, probably even if you don't, I don't think I ever have),
    they'll send 'em to you forever.  Nice color catalog.  Prices are ok,
    slightly below average retail but for the most part nothing real
    special.  The blow-out items often have real good prices though.

    I think AMS is the cheapest on most stuff compared to the other big
    catalog places. Music Emporium is way higher in price. Musicians
    Friend matches them on a few things like stomps. The cheapest catalog
    place I found was Woodwin and Brasswind", but they make up for the
    extra savings with their shipping charges.
    Of course If someone knows anyone catalog place cheaper than AMS, I'd
    sure be interested!!!! For Items I checked on (4tracks, compressors)
    Thoroughbread was higher, AMS matched Sweetwater sound.
    I've also heard that Sam Ash is selling things below cost because of
    the competition from other places. Just my opinions here.

    I think the question of who's catalog prices are lower is irrevelant. 
    Like just about any music store, the prices are negotiable.  I've
    gotten Musician's Friend to come down well over $100 on the price of an
    amp by comparing their price to other outlets (their price was whacked
    anyway, it was higher then any of the local music stores!)
    
    Greg

    Yeah..AMS has good prices.  I bought my GK 250ML there.  It was around
    $50 cheeper to get it thru the catalog than it was to buy it at the
    music store.  And, I had received it in less than a week if I remember.
    I like the delivery time- Fast!!

    Greg is right. Probably what I should say is "at face value" AMS prices
    are lower...and they seem to have the BIGGEST catalog of anyone I have
    seen. Greg has more guts than me. I've never even thought of asking
    them to come down on the price. Of course, maybe I shouldn't when I
    am ordering picks. :-)

    I think the correct phrase is "Greg's CHINTZIER then I am"...  ;^)
    
    I've been known to be incredibly cheap at times.

    Well the amp arrived , and its 80 watts as billed. this unit is about
    30 pounds ( heavy for it's small size ) and really cranks loudly.
    the distortion (gain) from the amp is what you'd expect from a
    transistor amp and there is no reverb, but I find that by using my
    Zoom 9000 effects the unit sounds phenominal(sp) . The unit ,unlike
    the mini GK amp doesn't sound overcompressed and if you have outboard
    effects the amp offers alot for the money. $169 for an easily portable
    LOUD amp is a great deal IMHO.

    (any specific questions about the amp I'll try to answer here in future
     replies-dependent on any future replies..... B*)     )

    I take back everything I said about AMS. I got Music Emporiums new
    catalog and they beat AMS on quite a few things. However, AMS has a
    nice clearance section.

    Re: .18
    
    What else is new?  I get all of the usual catalogs, and it seems that
    the price breaks from one to the other sort of even out in the long
    run, one will be higher for one piece but lower for another.  You
    really should get used to checking prices from all the sources. 
    
    For example, I ordered some speaker stands from AMS two weeks ago.  The
    price from Music Emporium was identical but the shipping rates
    differed...one based shipping on total $$ amount, the other was on the
    weight.  I think I saved something like 25 cents by ordering from AMS. 
    Hardly significant, though!

    Don't spend all that savings in one place, Brian.

    
    If'n you want to spend it all in one place, I've still got that
    Del Fuegos CD........:-)
