As the title says, im looking for a pratice amp for around £40 - 60.
The 3 I have looked at are:

Fender Frontman 15G
Lancey HCM
Marshall MG

What do you think of these? What do you have or recommend?

[EDIT] If it comes with a cable that would be nice.

You could always get a line 6 pod they go for about that on fleabay much more versatile many different effects/different amp cabinet emulations great headphone amp and you can plug it in your line in/hi-fi and it also has midi for recording

Line 6 amps are expensive though IIRC?

OK, change of plan, the guitar I was thinking of buying I was told was a load of crap.

So I'm looking for a kit around the £150 mark. Guitar, amp and cable are the basic, would like a strap tho.


I have been recommend a ibanez GRX70 jumpstart kit with: gig bag, amp, cable, strap, picks for £144 (Click here (http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/options.php?id=66475))

and the Yamaha Pacific 112 with cable and amp for £155.

What do you think / recommend.

Basicly its a practice amp, so it wont be used for gigs are anything, so just get a 15 - 20 watt amp. Doesnt matter on the make or model.. makes hardly any diffrence.

One of those little Line6 amps would have been a great choice.
