To bring discussions here.

Plan for tomorrow

1130 - Mike leaves London
1245 - I wake up
1330 - Get phone call from Mike because he can't find my house
1345 - Meet Mike at the roundabout I met benecol at and go to my house
1415 - Get to shop, check out ywngie strat on the wall
1430 - Meet benecol in shop. Rock out

As an aside, the shop have a Hiwatt 100 in that looks brilliant. They also have a Fernandes Malikcaster and one or two other great looking things that I would like to play on but would probably never buy.

I've been totally either way on this.

The fact I shouldn't lose any value is the turning point

Don't tell her you're getting it. Make an excuse as to why you'll be out all day Saturday. Sneak the amp into the house and then ask her to go to the shop for milk or something. Set up the amp, then when you hear her approaching put on your guitar and assume a cocky Pete Townsend type pose. When she enters shout "Say hello to my little friend" and fire out a power chord a la Fight for Your Right to Party or the infamous Doogfest wakeup scene. Let that one ring out while you go and get a bite to eat, then when you come back and put the guitar back on start playing Back in Black in full headbanging mode with occasional swearing about cocking up the little soloy bit after the chords.

That is exactly why buying this amp is the right choice.

Typing that paragraph almost convinced me to send out a couple of early morning "Sorry lads, it's been sold" txts and buy it for myself.
