I'm going to the guitar store again monday with my cousin. He's going to get something on his bass checked out, and I was wondering.
Since i'm going to be checking out some more amps, what kinda guitar should I use?
So far I know there is a Les Paul in there. And possibly a jackson. I don't really remember well. I also wanna try out a fender. And what kinda amps should I try out if its there?
Gimme some damn advice people!

Be an individual, make your own!
• Find an electical appliance you can hold in your arms like a guitar
• Crush it in one of those car crusher thingys
• Bolt on a neck and all the stuff that makes a guitar
• A winner is you
Not only will you look like you're straight off of the Discovery Channel, but you can kick everyones ass while doing it!
I don't know anything about guitars, and I'm bored.

You're sick! Who would ever crush a sexy guitar?
Edit: LOL NEVERMIND...
-
guitars that stay in tune are important so keep that in mind when picking one. usually anything under $700 is shit so try out a high end prestige RG Ibanez model.
-
Try Ibanez's incredibly thin necks.

Lol, i'm looking for amps more than guitars. But I wanna just mess around. lol

Alright, if they got them. Although I don't remember ever seeing an ibanez there.

NOT A FENDER
Go for a Gibson man, believe it's the best choice, if you've got money for the Les Paul you should buy it. If not..go for the flying V or SG. I've got an SG.

I'm not buying anything. I already got a cool guitar.(well not a great one but it's pretty good)
-
You CAN ask some of the people there to tune it for you so that you don't gotta do it yourself as well.
-
you should play guitar

This, unless its a fixed bridge model, then you're fine. Honestly if you're gonna be checking out amps, take your own guitar unless you're gonna get a new guitar also. Try a bunch of tube amps, please...I've learned overtime that solid state amplifiers unless they're very high end aren't very good.

I'm not gonna carry my guitar around outside lol. I doubt my grandma/pa would take me and want to wait while I check out every single amp there, too. >_>

I'm not saying every amp, and you should take your guitar because your guitar is not gonna sound the same on whatever amplifier you buy if you play a different one while testing it out....but that should be obvious.
Here's a list under 1000 bucks of amps you should try.
Bugera 6260
Bugera 333XL
Bugera 6262
Peavey Valveking (you're gonna have to put a pedal through this one if you want higher gain)
Peavey 5150/6505 (Combo version, since the halfstacks new are over 1000)
Vox Valvetronix and Valvetronix XL
B-52 AT-100 Halfstack (Surprisingly, its not bad for 900 bucks)
ENGL Screamer, if you can push your budget
you didn't give a specific budget, so the highest I went was 1400.
-
I think you're pushing it a little much Eric. I'd think he was looking for amps in the 500-700 dollar range. Mine was originally 350, and it sounds great, I'm sure he'd like it as well.

Most of them are I believe, the Bugera combos are 700 I believe, and they're apparently 5150/6505 clones, I included some higher end ones in case he can stretch his budget a bit.

Yeah... My price range is $300, but if it was worth it i'd be willing to go as high as $400.
-
If you're not in a band and don't plan on joining one there's no reason to buy an expensive amp.
Even if you are in a band you should wait until you guys are ready to play shows to buy an amp.
-
I can argue with that logic. I think more expensive and better amps are great for practice. They come with effects, and way more features than your standard practice amp that you can mess around with, and find what's good and what's not. The ones that have effects built right into them make things more fun to experiment with.
But it's really a matter of choice though.
-
If he wants more effects he can just buy this (http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Line6-Floor-POD-Plus-Multi-Effects-Pedal?sku=150212).
Expensive amps are for performing. If you don't do it, you don't need one.

The reason i'm looking for a new amp is because I want something that doesn't sound sluggish, and just not right. I highly doubt "First Act" is known for their great amps. >_>

my mates got some big fender stack, try a big stack they are is sound sex. (if he pisses me off too much and i have the opportunity, i'll steal his and hide it for you)

Blah that's a good point, I would even go as far as getting this
http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product...ssor?sku=151065 (http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Line-6-Pocket-POD-Guitar-Effects-Processor?sku=151065)
Its small, but if you connect it up to a decent sound card and have a good set of speakers, you have about 300 different amplifiers to choose from...and if you dont like any of them, you can download them plus I believe this has direct recording, if not get the bigger one like Blah says.
-
I can do that with my RP150, but it just doesn't sound that good..(The sound itself, the speakers are fine.)
-
I have a Vox Valvetronix, it sounds great and is pretty versatile as well.

Is the hand included?

That's because the RP150 is a piece of crap!
Well compared to the Line 6 (I can't believe I'm saying this) its pretty bad, can you download tones with the RP150? because if you can, I'd definetely recommend it...if you can't, then get the Line 6, since I'm not working right now, my mom says she'll get it for me now that I see the advantage of having one.

I dunno, never really tried nor looked into it. All I really use the RP150 for is for distortion and delay/reverb.
-
Well yeah but there's different types of distortions, better sounding delays and reverbs, plus a plethora of other effects that are really cool, I would really look into it, I have to get myself one because in my recent discovery of love for digital modeling and my realization that I'm poor....I have decided to just get myself that and wrap myself around that for a while, it should last me for a pretty decent amount of time.

how to play the guitar?
-
I went today, most of the amps there wasn't that great, honestly. It didn't sound very good at all. Except the marshall I was talking about before, I played that for like 5 minutes lol.
Guitars I played with:
Two Les Paul knockoffs (don't know the real name of it, looked like a les paul to me)
a V guitar by LDT or something, I have no idea.
fender banjo (H)
some 12 string acoustic guitar
and a few others that I don't know the names of.
