Slash Magnatone LOLZ

[Whizzinby]

I wonder what’s considered a success for an amp like that, selling 7 of them?

 

[FuzzyAce]

Cool! now I can justify getting the Eric Steckel Mezzabarba sig.
I'll show my wife how it's so much cheaper than other 100 watt amps.

"Look hon, I'm SAVING $500 with this one!"

Shit, brilliant. I may use this technique but mine will be in the $2000 range. "Look pumpkin sweetie pie... I'm saving $2900!!!"

Slash and Magnatone be smoking crack.

Hahahahahahha they sure are

Its insane. Shame on Sweetwater for putting this on their website....

I don’t blame Sweetwater. As I type this, a hard-core Slash fan somewhere out there is adding one to their cart.

If only 1 sale is made, it was all worth it.

I imagine its the number of their other amps sold that they will judge success/failure of this project by?

5 watts 1 x 8" - $1,500

15 watts 1 x 12" - $2,500

45 watts 1 x 12" - $3,700

Jebus, between the very unique styling and the prices I'm surprised they sell enough to stay in business, let alone stocked at Sweetwater.

I have my mind on the little 5-watter more than a few times?

I dig their vibe personally - owned a Carr Mercury for years.

Maybe this guy will grab one? Heard he's a big fan...

ain't no way those skinny arms are moving a 4x12

 

[James Freeman]

A missed opportunity, they should have priced it 48,999,000$ and include a romantic date with Slash, that way they only had to sell ONE.

Maybe he should, it would probably make his "GnR" band sound better the next time he fires Slash

Yes, he could hand them a Slash signature LP and say, "now plug into this Magnatone here... it was very expensive so be careful."

I'm not so sure he has skinny anything these days...

 

[laxu]

Yeah I've never understood the Magnatone pricing. It's consistently higher than many other brands. If they keep selling at those prices, more power to them I guess.

 

[MirrorProfiles]

@$45,000 for that group it makes $2,400 for an AxeFx III (which has all those plus about 50 more) seem like a great deal, even if you throw another $1500 at it for a power amp and cab which would then make a blindfolded AB test near impossible to to know which is which.

I mean, a digital model isnt the same thing as owning an actual amp. Both are great but one doesn't really have any significance on the other.

I think especially an amp like this, it isn't about attaining any kind of unique or specific tone (you could build a high end clone for way less). Its for the blues lawyer types who want to own a rare slash branded amp. Its a cash grab, limited numbers, famous name attached, exclusive/rare so they can pump the price up.

No point complaining about it because nobody NEEDS this amp that badly. They'll sell out instantly and probably go up in value. There's god knows how many affordable Marshall style amps out there. This aint that.
