I bought a NOS RM100C without any modules, so it didn't reach A$1000. I had absolutely no problems. Customs let it straight through and I wasn't charged anything.

What does NOS mean?
Also thinking of combining RM100 with a Mesa Recto slant cab. Wondering if anyone knows dimensions of the RM100B heads? The Recto straight cab is 76cm x 36cm at the top so I guess the slant would be shallower on top, probably 76cm x say 27cm at a guess. Want to make sure the RM100 would perch on this cab OK.
Also found a deal here in Oz that includes a RA-412XC cab. Do you think this cab would kick as much arse as a Recto cab? I recently compared a recto cab cab with a Marshall 1960A cab powered by a JCM900. The JCM900 sounded a LOT better through the recto cab.

enuenu said:Its a G3 series cab with 4 x V30s. I think the recto cab would be a lot better, even the Randall XL cabs would be a lot better than this cab. Just got to be sure the RM100 will fir on the recto cab. I would guess it would, but you know what can happen when you make assumptions.
enuenu said:I just picked up a used Dual Recto half stack in Australia. The RM100 is great, but it came down to a few things (in order of importance);
*The deal on the used Recto gear was good.
*Resale on Recto gear is good (especially in our limited market).
*If I import Randall from USA I get no warranty here (although I did get an OK deal on an empty head from bmusic.com.au, forget the modules though - $500+ each).
*I have read a lot of posts that talk of mysterious problems with their RM100, even new ones. Of course they sell a heap of these, but weird intermittent problems scare me.
*A friend has a friend who works in a large music shop that sells a lot of guitars & guitar rigs. I asked my friend if he could get me a quote on a RM100 rig. The information relayed back to me was that the shop has stopped stocking Randall gear because of ongoing technical problems with Randall gear generally. Sorry to be negative about a brand on its own forum. I concede that I may be the victim if disinformation, however the forum posts tended to cement the idea in my head.
In spite of these perceived problems, I would have given the Randall a go as the concept is awesome and the tones I have heard on clips sound great. However the main reason I passed on the RM100 at this stage was that I just stumbled on a good deal on a Recto rig. Thanks for all your input.

Not even close to the real thing. I heard that the E-rect is what people want the dual rec's to be. When i play the dual rec for a while, i forget bout the randall, when i put the randall back on the half-stack, i fall in love all over, then i put the dual rec back on and it sounds sick. They both have what i want. That's why when i get more serious I will sell the 4x12, get 2 2x12's and run the 2 heads together. :twisted:
IMHO, i got my ultra dialed in closer to that mesa growl, and it sounds meaner then the mesa so thats why i will not part with the ultra since it's my new tone. I will however buy a pete modded 1086.
