So I have been searching for a new amp.
On craigslist i found these:
a crate bx-100 for 130$(I bet i could talk him down to 100)
Another crate of the same model for 80$
An acoustic b200 for 100$
An ampeg BA115 for 115$ with a broken input jack (Don't really want it, but I've heard ampeg is good)
Here's the thing, these are all pretty far away from me, in a city on the other side of the state. My dad is going there this weekend on business, and he said he could pickup the amp if I bought it. however, I would not be able to try how it sounded(I could send him with a small thing to see if it worked though). The acoustic seems like the best deal, but it has no pictures and the seller doesn't say why he is selling it(it is also surprisingly cheap). The cheaper crate is the same way. The more expensive crate has a very detailed description and pics and looks very reliable. I haven't contacted any of these guys yet. Any advice?
