I haven't played an 8 but since getting my 38 back in December 2005, the only thing I've ever wanted from it is less volume because it seems like I can seldom let it breathe. I've toyed with the idea of an 18 or a Ghia, but after reading about this little gem for so long I think this is my next major gear purchase.
I learned a long time ago that if you're going to spend money on something of quality, you might as well get exactly what you want. I'm going to go for a studio combo and spend the extra for the Blue. I've never lived with a Blue, and it seems like if ever there was an amp to try one out, this is it. Also going to go for the Brake Lite. I may not need it, but it'll be there if I do. And if it turns out I don't, I can put it in the 38.
So the only remaining question is what color. My 38 1x12 combo is blonde. Not sure if I want to keep the color theme the same in case I ever do 2 amps at a gig or go for the elegance of black. Hmmm...maybe this isn't an "elegant" amp. Her voice might be better suited for a redhead.
What do y'all think?

Get black if you are going to gig with it. If not then get what you like best.

Anything but red. Red amps are for salad-eating-sissies. Known fact.

Wow... tough crowd... ;-P
My closest Z dealer (~120 miles away) is expecting a black one in 2-3 weeks with the standard H30. I might drive out and give it a try after it shows up. Who knows, it may speak to me and follow me home. Assuming it doesn't get sold before I get there.

Seriously though, take what you can get. They don't seem to be in stock for long. I got lucky and got the color I wanted without having to special order. I think the H30 gives this little amp the balls to hang with a band. I've tried a few other speakers that I thought sounded slightly better but they were less efficient so not as loud.

Todd and Eddie, I can set up two couches if you would like to talk about these issues. Focus on the candle... you are getting sleepy.

I'm a red guy usually but something about the smaller cabinets makes me go blonde.

If you plan on gigging it alot, then black is your friend. However, I gig my reds and they seem to not show as much wear as blonde.

On order! Decided on the Studio in black with salt & pepper grill and white piping. I was going to go with blonde until I saw a black Maz 18 at the shop and decided I liked the look. Went with the H30 speaker and added a Brake Lite. 4 to 6 weeks and I can't wait!
