I've never seen a combo of this amp, but the heads are massive. personally I'm not thrilled about 500 for a combo, but it's plausible. check this out though, some dude got one of them heads for 75$ recently.

those amps rock @$$! Ive seen a few come thru the shops ive been at and I finally bought one of the super 60's (which are younger but sound alot like these). I dont know this for a fact but Ive been told that the carvin head that has the same EQ is patterned after this amp. As far as value, I dont think they cost very much.. Im wanting to say the ones I seen sale were around 200 bucks.

I'd agree with what's been said. £500 seems far too much for this. I'd say about £300/£350 tops? It is a 2x12 though, so maybe I'm a bit out.
