So I have had a bit of a revelation this week...

[Psyre]

Y'all are cray. Which would sound better, a Rickenbacker through a 15w solid state crate amp, or a daisy rock through an Orange half-stack?

(for the record, you're supposed to pick the second one)

GREAT THREAD!!! I shed a tear as I realize our lil ILF has grown up a lil and is on it's way to true Musical Transcendence... I agree with almost everybody in this awesome thread... Carry on gentlemen...

This thread needs pollz.

I'll make that crate sound good becuz the toanz iz in the fingerz and with the Rickenbacker I'll do it with stylez. I'll make a big drawing that looks like a Marshall Stack and put that in front of the Crate.

If I were relegated to the Daisy Rock I'd have no choice but to take off the strings and hang myself.

WINNER...

I dunno man, I saw a Daisy Rock one time in Guitar Center that had a SUPER sweet purple metallic finish, the flakes were huge.
It was probably the most expensive part of the guitar, but it was still cool

In this thread every ones right... I have a damn Washburn 3/4 Hanna Montana that I play all the time... But I play my Jazz and Jag more... I have old 60's Kalamazoo tube amps and a Crate 112 and Squire SP 10 and I rock them all equally... My store bought and my custom pedals both gets the love... It's all Horses for Courses...

Shit. I forgot abu out tight correlation between metallic flake dimension and epic toanz. I surrender the field.

i think the price points for "nice amp" are higher than those for "nice guitar" these days

edit: or rather there are more price points that determine a nice amp. like you can get a "nice guitar" and a "nice amp" for $1,000 like say a matchless or Dr. Z or whatever. but chances are it'll be a really low power amp that can't play for anything much bigger than a bar. a "nice guitar"'s parameters are a bit more uniform

Late to the party, as usual.
This time last year, I would have said: pedals>amps>guitars

But then I got my AC30 and shifted to: guitars>pedals>amps

I paid roughly the same amount for my entire amp set-up that I did for each of my basses individually. ~$700, basically.

You can pick up a nice amp that's super loud for a G if you're willing to go used.

the thing is guitar inspires you. you can pick it up at night, don't plug in and compose a song - that happens to me all the time...

i'd rather have an inspiring instrument that is cheap than an expensive one that does nothing to me. And as for the amp X guit thing... i guess the guitar comes first for me.

it can also happen that you come to the club for a jam and even though you have a great amp at home, you have to play plugged into something else. And you can still have a blast

where the fuck is my post, who stole it?

yeah, i'm not meaning to say that you necessarily have to get spendy on a guitar...i'm just saying that for me it's most important that the guitar be right. if i can't get what i want from the guitar, my whole thing is fatally compromised from the start.
