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.

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

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.
