Members capnbringdown Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 A Valvestate 8100, with a 1960A cab (original speakers). Weren't expecting that, eh? It was for practice anyway. Hey, that was my first head.I sucked back then.I suck now.I got lots of gear, now, but not quite as much as that kid.Someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lip Smackers Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Didn't Flea put a sticker on a $30,000 one of a kind shell-pink Fender Jazz? I've never understood the whole sticker/guitar thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zlandicar Posted February 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Could be he already destroyed something good so he's buying something that can take some abuse now . . .I didn't ask about it. I'm not about to question the logic of a 13 year old when I'm in need of money and he's got it. That said, his guitar and pedals were in pristine condition, other than the adornments. He didn't seem to be the type who kicks his stuff around.Besides, cheap doesn't mean low quality. The 1960A is arguably the best cab Marshall makes, and for what it is, the 8100 is an excellent head.And for all I know all that expensive stuff on his board is his dad's. I might post a lot of random {censored} on this forum but that's a lot different than outright lying. It's not just a different ballpark, it's a different game. So you doubters can piss off.

Members jasonfuzz Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 At that age and likely his money, he probably soaks up {censored} like a sponge trying to be the best guitarist in his class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy to damage a head, especially if you don't plug a cab into it. Not that I know if Z is bull{censored}ting or not, but there were a couple of metal groups who actually used the valvestates. If it was really his dad's board, it would make a lot more sense. Besides, when kids see the words marshall and valve, they automatically assume it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The*Ataris Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Ouch... I even grew up around a lot of money, but I didn't know a single kid who had a nice amp or guitar all through high school (four years ago?)... I remember when I was a senior and this one dude, who was a year older than me, bought a Rickenbacher and a Super Reverb--that was a HUGE deal. I was playing a solid state Peavey 2x12 combo with a $200 Epi LP (that I put a bunch of stickers on...) at the time... I bought my Marshall and an Avatar cab when I was a freshman in college after researching amps for two years. Those decisions don't come easy when your parents (rich or not) don't support your music. They've never laid a dime down for any of my musical equipment and I'm proud of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PFDarkside Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 How does a 13 year old even know what a Moog, CC2, CJOD or Analogman is? When I first started I thought Bosses were the {censored}... On the other hand, at least he's playing music... There are far worse ways to spend your teen years.

Members Zlandicar Posted February 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hey, I'm 20 and I just got out of the military (National Call to Service program, only obligates you to 2 years), and even on those terrible wages, I managed to acquire everything I've ever talked about having on this forum (something like $27,000 in gear, accessories, maintenance, etc, all spendage accounted for) within the space of the last year and a half. I had a pretty low standard of living, but I was dedicated to playing, and I made it work. Even my first few pedals easily could have rivaled stuff on that kid's board, and I never went through any "Boss is the {censored}" stage. I have never played a Metal Zone or Tube Screamer. Maybe I'm an anomaly here, just like this story, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand pride in earning it yourself, but parents should always support.I periodically thank mine for buying me two saxophones and my first guitar and amp. Seriously, there are far worse things kids can do other than (attempting) to make music in the basement with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
