my parents let me choose for about 500 euros what I want for christmas. I dont really feel I need anything for that money. Ofcourse there is stuff Id like which is much more expensive (guitar amp and cabinet, electronic drum set with double pedals), but they are a bit out of range . Dont really need anything for my PC since it's running games decently enough. Any suggestions what to ask for?

Guitar gear is always good, but like you said 500€ won't you get you very far if it's the really good stuff you're after. It's a bit of a boring option, but couldn't you just save it for now? Get something bigger later.

Get all the old consoles and games you always dreamed of when you were a kid and buy them off e-bay. Most of it is dirt cheap. Wink

I only dreamed of NES which used those fake yellow cassettes. didnt know any other consoles when I was little. To me NES was the only console I knew existed. But Ive played my fair share of NES games with emulators

Yeah Bugera can't be beat in that price range; insane how good they sound considering the budget prices. But there's always some wanker in an apartment building who can't appreciate the finer arts and will complain when you try and enrich their lives. Laughing

Blow.

You can either snort it, shoot it or smoke it. You can also just resell it for bigger profits.

You know what, as clichè as is might sound, that's exactly what I did with the money that I got for my birthday.

Too bad it will probably be wasted on taxes before the end of next month. xD Why can't we have nice things Sad Laughing

Don't.
Bugera's (no particular model) are widely known for their lack of reliability. There are problems with PCB's in them - they are connected to each other with a connector like an IDE connector for floppy's or ATA hard drives with a "tape" that melts in high temperature. And valve amps have really high temperatures when operating, especially with high gain.

But if you want you can spend some $$$ and pay for soldering the pcb's and you'll have a really nice sounding amp for low price. I saw a tour of the Bugera production facility which looked more like a soviet gulag :/

Yep, this cab is famous for being the cheapest with V30's Smile Im using my Fender's Jensen C12N for a driver. However i plan to buy a 1x12 or 2x12 cab with Greenback's or Heritage's Smile
