Members Lonnie99 Posted December 5, 2012 Members Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm 50 and while I love a lot of 80s hard rock, its not what I play when I play. Having said that, I owned this Fender M-80 Pro half stack right after I started playing. Got it dirt cheap at a pawn shop for $180. Bastard was LOUD. I think I've owned the whole M-80 line at one point or another, but this was the craziest. Anything over two made my ears ring for a half hour.

Members GAS Man Posted December 5, 2012 Members Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yeah, I've done the same sorta stuff.Bought and traded off a Randy Rhoads Pro. But only because I looked a bit lumpy in the matching spandex.And I also own a JCM2000/DSL100 w 4x12 that I doubt I'd buy again. The first time I cranked it up, my asshole neighbor was calling me to turn it down within 20 minutes.I recently did a neighborhood gig and it was interesting for me (as a home hobbyist player) to really get a chance to see how little amp it takes to keep up in a mix of drums, harmonica, bass player, 2 keyboardists, another guitar player, lead singer and thump bucket player.

Members John Backlund Posted December 5, 2012 Members Share Posted December 5, 2012 In the early 1970's I owned a 105 watt Univox tube amp with a cab full of eight 10 inch speakers. This was situated in the tiny living room of our one-bedroom rented house.I could barely play a barre chord at the time, but I'm more of a new age fingerpicker than any sort of rocker. This thing was the musical equivalent of shooting rabbits with an elephant gun.Photo of this monster later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poolshark Posted December 5, 2012 Members Share Posted December 5, 2012 Probably this one. I like Fenders, passive pickups and bright colors, but this might be the only guitar I've ever really missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted December 5, 2012 Members Share Posted December 5, 2012 I owned a Les Paul Jr with a 498 humbucker for a while. Great little rock guitar but that's not what I play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hand Amputation Posted December 5, 2012 Members Share Posted December 5, 2012 This is coming in on Friday and I am salivating at the thought of getting my hands on it. Never owned a Floyd, let alone a Charvel. Not 'me' at all, but I love the way it looks.Seller's pic. Expect a NGD post this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members larryguitar Posted December 5, 2012 Members Share Posted December 5, 2012 For a brief while I had an ADA MP whatever preamp setup, with a bridged 300 watt power amp driving a 2x12 cabinet. Pretty extreme for playing along with my CD player in the family room, but on the other hand, I soundedlike a GOD.To my dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Wein Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 My 1964 Silvertone 1484 Twin Twelve amp and cab. Mostly because of the paint job. I'm sure you can't miss it in the picture below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted December 5, 2012 Members Share Posted December 5, 2012 I had a Squier Stagemaster with a Floyd for a little while. I ended up trading it for some recording equipment, since I didn't have as much fun dive bombing harmonics as I thought I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BeanoBoy Posted December 5, 2012 Members Share Posted December 5, 2012 I had a BC Rich Mockingbird in the late 70s- early 80s. Fit the metal gig I had but I never bonded with it. Bought a Mesa Boogie Tremoverb combo. Weighed a ton, was WAY too loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
