Yo, fellas, and ladies (lol).

I started working at McDonald's (double lol), and with all the crap I've bought, I've got about 400 bucks or so.... and I need a new amp... Any suggestions? I'm into the older 80's Hair and Power metal style of playing, so anything in that area, used or new. Hopefully something not more than 200-250.

Really, I thought the best amps come at that price. The link didn't really help me much, I need specific links. As for the pictures, Rod, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

As far as amps go, I'm thinking Crates or something. I don't have 3700 smackaroonies to spend.

yup a 15w non tube amp would suffice. you dont havve a great guitar lol.

Rocka · « **Reply #144 on:** May 11, 2008, 03:54:44 PM »

I'm satisfied with it. It plays nicely, fairly smooth. The guitar doesn't make the player dude.

no it really can... if randy rhoads jammed with a squier he would suck. if eddie van halen ddint invent his own guitar he could never become the taping master. see wher eim going?

The quality of their equipment has nothing to do on how well they can play. If EVH had some shit guitar, he would still be as good as he is, see what I mean?

I fail to see how he would be a shitty guitarist if he didn't make his own guitar. Isn't it a thing called skill that matters instead of equipment?

he had a one tone no switch guitar sure he would have the ability to play but he cant without the gear. almost every song requires effects of some sort is all imsaying. if angus young didnt invent the light wire right strings then he could never preform appregios and bends the same way. see what im getting at?

if EVH never had an edit of his fret action than he could never play taps the way he can.

play your guitar and cheezy amp for awhile than go to a guitar center and ask to try out a gibson or fender or otehr high brAND HIGH priced guitar (over 2000$) ask fo ra marshall MG amp to try it on and just mess witht eh amp a lilthen strum once. you will FEEEL the difference. i started playing electric guitar at 10 (played acoustic since second grade) i had a squier strat and a studio 15r amp froma starter pack that totaled 300 dollars. then for my 16th birthday my auntie got me a Gibson Flying V and a MArshall MG250dfx tube amp. (i think that was the correct number). i fel the differnece form teh start. now i own over 40 guitar s and 20 amps. (and a drum set ) trust me gear DOES matter. you cant achieve the same sound.

That's not besides the point. Your gear doesn't make your skill.
