Yeah, somewhat. But it just drives me crazy. It's worth the wait though. More than anything, I want to see how it pairs up with the HD210. Unless I'm way off on my thought process about the two, it should be a great sound. I do like having the Bassman 800 putting out 500 watts @ 8 ohms, so if I were to go back to a Fender cab for whatever reason, It would be the same as what the HD210 put out.

Speaking of waiting, I have to wait like you do for the Ampeg. I thought it was going to show up, but there was an issue with the bank when we ordered it that had to be straightened out, so the order got back ordered a bit, and there's New Years in the way. If that didn't happen, I'd have it already. :roll:

I know at times holidays jump up and kick me down too. It's almost like timing is everything on a gear purchase. Or at least it seems that way. I can't think of many times if any I've been able to take advantage of a holiday sale either.

I hate when AMS will throw in some sort of sale, but then I don't have the funds, but actually, I got lucky this time, because they decided to have a clearance sale, which worked out for me rather well.

Come to think of it, any time I have bought any gear, it was because of some sort of sale or discount. I have no problems with open box, scratch and dent, or whatever else deals, as long as it works like it's supposed to. My Fender cab has some sort of mark or blemish on the side of it, maybe a dent, but I got it for $100 cheaper, and it works just as well as the one in a brand new box, unscathed. You know, this stuff is bound to get banged up sooner or later, if you're on the road. You can baby things as best as you can, but stuff does happen. You know that more than anyone, I'm sure.

Yes I do. And that was a constant battle trying to keep it as bang free as possible. You are right though, it can't be kept in total new condition forever.

Hey Paul, did AMS give you an estimated shipping date? I know that will depend on the financial part of the order transaction to clear. I have had an order or two slowed down by Sweetwater having to clear the finances on orders too. Luckily they were able to clear in time for the order to ship. I don't think I had the extra time of a holiday in the way either, like you have with New Year's. But like I said before, at least your PF800 is locked in as yours, and won't be sold to another order.

They said it should be here Wednesday. Hopefully, that will be the case. Normally, AMS is really fast about shipping. If the issue didn't happen with the bank, I'd already have it.

That's true. The same can be said about ourselves. :P

I guess it may be a new amp head day for the two of us. I just have to drive down to SA. :roll:

That's right, you have to go pick yours up, don't you?

Yeah, I can't just go answer the door in my robe, and slippers to sign for an Ampeg PF800. That's ok, I'm going to take the HD210 with me to maybe do something on a Fender Rumble 410. Image

Well, it costs $100 more if you get them new, so I'm sure you might be able to do some sort of deal.
