Members Slaymoar Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 Every kid at my highschool had a {censored}ing Gibson LP worth more than $1500 with a {censored}ing peavey 20watt SS POS (figuratively speaking). It was {censored}ing ridiculous. THey all thought the tone was all guitar, and a $600 guitar (with a better amp) was not going to pull off some good tones like a $1500 (with the {censored}ty amp) one could. But I saw the light...

Members HKSblade1 Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 my son plays drums. Was playing since he was 7. At 15, I bought him a mediocre kit and a good FOOT pedal and decent cymbals. My wife said why you spending so much on a foot pedal and cymbals HH stand, cymbal stands? I said ask me next YEAR when he's playing in a band! His friend in HS got a nicer Tama kit and cheap {censored}ing foot pedal and garbage $120 cymbal set and a really {censored} HH stand! he quit playing, quit lessons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You learn to play the guitar, any amp you'll sound the same Its all cool, but a $600 ltd or epi is about 90% of how good a guitar will sound.. 1500 isnt gonna help you unless you know how to capture the feel of it and really accentuate the tones out of the guit. Subtleties (although awesome) really, that can only be done by an experienced guitarist. The little peavey rage wont do any justice to the 1500 LP.. And really you just threw money in the wrong direction, instead of getting a more balanced setup like a decent guitar + decent amp, vs awesome guitar + {censored}ty amp. -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newholland Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 i'd prefer to see young kids with middle of the road affordable stuff kicking ass and taking names. you seldom get great tones from great gear unless you know how to use it.. and theres only one way to learn how to do that... guess it's always kinda a bummer to see really young kids with the best, 'cause you know it takes so long to get there and buy it as a normal working person... seems hard to appreciate the greatness unless you worked your way through what you CAN afford...

Members Oops-A-Paisley Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 Once one realises that playing guitar has very little to do with money and more to do with practice its sort of a non issue.If someone has a really expensive guitar 3 dozen effects pedals and a full stack and like completely sucks well that just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sex Panther Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 I worked my ass off when I was 14 to get my Rogue PA system and Zoom2100 FX pedal. That was my awesome rig. My tone was awesome, and I couldn't care less if you had $5,000 worth of equipment...because I was set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Urban Ghandi Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 so why don't you? Just a response to the thread.I spend zero time thinking about other people's gear and I don't get caught up in who's better than whom.This is something that, when I was younger, I did think about. But then you realize what a waste of time that is and there are so many other things I should be thinking about (or concerned about or mad about, etc.)I think it's called maturity.
