Ok, I went to Sam Ash and played one and I am now the owner of one. They didn't have but the one on display so I have to wait till it gets here but I can't wait to mic his amp up. For those who changed the tubes, is it that much of a difference? Or am I good right the box?

 

[Metaltastic]

Which one did you get dude? 6260?

6260, this amp will be for studio use only.

 

[Habsburgs]

Cool.. how much did u pay? 500?

 

[scorpio01169]

Cool.. how much did u pay? 500?

a little over $530

Fuck yeah man! My 333 sounded great out of the box, the tubes are labeled "Bugera", but I'm pretty sure they are just re-labeled tubes from someone else. I dunno about the 6260's sound out of the box.

[theunforgiven246]

have they fixed their problem with whatever parts exploding in the amp?

 

[Scissors61]

I'm seriously interested in buying one of these being a poor student. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find ANYWHERE in the UK that stock them. I was thinking of getting either the 333XL or the 6262, has anyone played either of 'em?

 

[006]

Lol...

I've had mine for a while now with substantial use and have yet to have any problems.

the one that they had on display sounded great....the head was a little over $530.00 and the cab is $250.00. so i'll be working on the cab next. the salesman at sam ash who is a guitar player said he liked it better than his 5150....( dont know if that was just his little sales pitch ) i didn't care, it sounds good.

 

[Metaltastic]

Hmm, not sure if getting the cab would be the best idea...

 

[colonel kurtz]

yea, man...fuck their cabs

if anything, save up a little more and snag an avatar 2x12

 

[006]

Yeah dude I was about to say it too, Metaltastic said it first tho - don't buy the cab, LOL. It's by sheer fluke that the heads are great, I would save up a little more cash and go for either an Avatar 2x12/4x12 or lurk on eBay and craigslist for a Mesa oversized 4x12. I snagged one for $475 and it's in great condition, even had casters!

wow nice job on the Mesa cab. I really need one to go with my Mark IV.
On Bugera speak though. I've had my 6260 head for 3 months now, sounds great no explosions yet :S
But even if it does happen I'm endorsed now so I'll swap it over
I don't know how it works anywhere else, but here in Australia they give you a 1 year warranty and 3 months tube warranty. So it isn't too bad. If you play it on an average basis something SHOULD occur in the first year if it is gonna happen.

i've been having a hard time getting hold of a 5150 in the uk and was thinking about getting a 6260 instead, but i just find it hard to believe it going to be as good.
