Tom 15535 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 I would probably go for an Epiphone, A Yamaha or a Vintage at that price. It just depends what suits I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentAxeman 593 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 It just depends what suits I suppose. this. its all down to what feels comfortable to you. best to go to a couple of shops and have a bit of a try and see what feels good in your hands.

Billy Castell 0 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Felt like resurrecting this, as I've started to learn on my amazing blue acoustic gituar from the Sue Ryder shop. Give it a few years and I might manage My lovely Horse! If I was a practical (and wealthy) person, I'd love to make my own electric gituar. Sadly, if I did that, it would probably be rather............cubist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 7485 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I really need to get back into playing, I hate all my gear though, need to replace everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 15535 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 I've been glued to my strat recently. That through a Marshall Class 5* or a Rocker 30 whilst I give the Blues Deluxe a rest! *Despite being 5 watts possibly the loudest thing ever! Here's Mr Bonamassa ripping away on a class 5.

Andrew 7485 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I really do just want to trade everything in and get a nice strat and a little simple amp, dont like my own stuff anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 15535 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 To be honest I have three amps, a 1994 Fender Blues Deluxe (65 watts), an Orange Rocker 30 and the most recent a Marshall Class 5. Due to the freakishly loud nature of the Class 5 I find myself unable to settle and keep switching but it depends what sound you want! On the Smaller amps I'm always wanting reverb but Orange amps rarely have it and both it and the Marshall have no effects loop! Whereas the Fender is perfect in most manners it shifts a whole lot of air and I can be heard from quite far away However in the right place such as a big hall they both do some nice natural slap back reverb!

Andrew 7485 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 well I'm currently on a Vox AD30vt which I've never loved truth be told but thats probably because my guitars just dont suit it, I need to fix my carvin, its electrics are really old and utterly shot, need replacing which ill probably get round to eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 15535 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 You can get plenty of good little amps like. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 7485 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Not really, if I start looking it means Ill have to really think about spending money, if I can manage to get a job over the summer i'll start looking in earnest any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 15535 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 It all depends really! Are you arsed about it being a valve amp? Some people are, e.g me, but others aren't too bothered. Depends on how many effects you use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentAxeman 593 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I see it does not go up to 11. Can't be that loud then. na, tis only 120watts. :) :woosh: :o :o :o :o :o :o believe me, its fookin LOUD!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentAxeman 593 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) .............and the Marshall has no effects loop! My 100w JMP head has AND its got a lead boost aswell!! its going up for sale if you fancy it Tom. Edited June 16, 2010 by AgentAxeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 15535 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 To be fair my Father bought me it so I could have an amp slightly smaller than the other two it just turns out it is very very loud! I treasure it so I'm not about to get any mods done, I bought it a hard case to live in too so there will never be a mark on it! Just looking forward to getting it into an environment when I can really crank it up! You seriously wouldn't believe it's only 5 watts, the bass on it is mental!

Billy Castell 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 This may be a daft question, but do gituars evolve like cars. What I mean by this is do they change over time in the same way a car does? For example the first version of a Mondeo is different to the latest version? If they do, I assume that you can only buy an original Stratocaster that was physically made in the 1950's or whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 15535 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yeah there's lots of updates for guitars, whether in material or just a physical improvement. It can be a slight difference in shape from the original design (Although major brands rarely do this) or a totally new backwards design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentAxeman 593 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 theres also evolution through things like synth guitars and also things like the parker fly guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Thanks. I guess technology changes, gituars get tinkered with, and I suppose that's why the older electric gituars are so valued, like a classic car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
