Well, I had known about a store that had this for a while and decided to finally pull the trigger. Its a BFR Axis in trans black with rosewood board! Got it on clearance for a crazy steal!
And this is my new amp! My gf got me the 5150 III as a late christmas gift the other day. Went out with a buddy of mine yesterday with the intentions of picking up an orange 212 cab. I had one of these heads before with the matching 212 and I felt the evh cab was very cheapish feeling. We headed up to the boston gc. I didn't bring my head bc I felt the 6505 is close enough. The salesman hooked it all up and I was impressed with the orange, Out of the corner of my eye though I see a small clearance area( I am the king of deals lol!) and notice a 212 cab tucked away. I bring the guy over to ask him about it and turns out to be a PRS cab marked from 700 to 279! It has 2 vintage 30's just like the orange.I ask him specifically if its an import or US made cab and he says its an import. We plug it in and it doesn't matter, it smoked the orange cab in every way! When I get it home I'm curious why an import cab would originally have been selling for 700 and track down this exact cab on their website. Turns out this is indeed made in the USA! Its their stealth big mouth cab. Im not sure if gc made a mistake on this one as there is also an import version of this cab which retails for 379,which would make sense for that one to be clearance for 279,not a $700 cab. The 2 are easy to tell apart, the import has the logo all spelled out where the USA made cabs have the signature.
They had one more and I might go grab that one this weekend. A lot of people compare this to the mesa 212 but this one feels better made. I love it! The 5150 sounds sooooooooo good through this cab and Im glad we decided to go to boston to dick around
