Hi!!!! Newbie here.....
Hi, I'm an old guy that hasn't played in over 17 years now. Gave all my gear to my brother except for my old Ibanez RG560. I use to have a full rack setup with a laney half stack and an old ampeg running in stereo. lol I decided to pull my guitar out of hibernation and today I went down to the pawnshop to look for a little tube amp to play around with. The only tube amp they had was this little 15w Engl gig master. It had a decent sound and was spotless like brand new but I never heard of the brand before so I was unsure if I should buy it or not. Well I bought it, got it for $180. Did I do ok? Got it home just to find out all my cords are gone so I can't even play it LOL. Looking next for a cheap rack or pedalboard anything decent and cheap? Thanks.

Re: Hi!!!! Newbie here.....
Any Engl for $180 should be a good deal.

I hate living in a town where the only music store only has 5 guitars hanging from the wall, and 2 of them are bc rich.

The grass is always greener over the septic tank!
I live in the middle of suburbia and my neighbors are all anoying retards. One guy leaves his 1950´s pool filter on all night. There are four people who don't clean up after their dogs and the kids play in the street and scream all day.
I still have to drive about 10 miles to the local Guitar Center.
If I hit lotto, I'm moving to Oahu.

Welcome to GAB and welcome back to guitar playing.
One hell of a score on that ENGL.
If you ever decide to quit playing again, which you should not.
I call dibs on the RG and the ENGL

Re: Hi!!!! Newbie here.....
Welcome....an ENGL Gigmaster seems like one hell of a score for $180 
I used to have an RG560 years ago.....it was a 1990 or 1991 model I believe, with the old square heel. That thing was pretty badass

Re: Hi!!!! Newbie here.....
Scored another item!!! Hope I can figure it out. I got a Boss GT 100 pedal effects board for $250 with the optional gig bag to carry it. Sounds like crap when hooked directly thru my ENGL though. Trying the four cord method today.
