Framus kicks the Bugera's ass. Also, don't underestimate how awkward a 4x12 is - unless you've got a van/trailer they can be a huge hassle to load and move about regularly. |

The VK halfstack is simply not worth the money, when you can get so much good stuff on the used market. $1000 will usually get you a crappy brand new halfstack, or a pro-quality used combo/compact... |

You haven't used many cabs have you? I'd rather have a great sounding, slightly less spread-out tone than a room-filling wall of shit. I play at least 2-4 nights a week, frequently unmic'd in pubs... |

The only 5W tube amp worth bothering with for rock tones (if you don't have any overdrive pedals) is the Blackstar HT-5. It has a lot more onboard preamp gain than most of its competitors (AC4,... |

None of the amps you listed are particularly great, except the Tiny Terror. I'd be looking for a used Mesa/Boogie DC-5, they often come down below $600 or so. |

Mixture of vaseline and powdered graphite (pencil lead) works a charm for me. I bet a £1 you're not stretching your strings properly though. |

For $400 there's no chance in hell of a good halfstack - you can barely get a good 4x12 for that price. Bugera 1960 V55 is by far your best bet, unless you can find some good used deals near you. A... |
