You probably get asked this all the time but please help!

 

I need a decent beginners set-up to play 60s Nuggets style Garage, Punk, Blues. Stuff like The Kinks, Yardbirds, The Sonics, etc.

 

I'm currently practicing on a friend's Dean Razorback without an amp(!). The guitar seems to play OK but I'm really not into how it looks.

 

I have a maximum of

Just 500 for the guitar or have you that budget for both guitar and amp?

And what do you like the look of? Semis, Teles, Strats LP type?

If you're just a bedroom player and a lot of us here are in one way or another you still wanna love what you have so you pick it up as often as possible

theres loads of good budget stuff out there, and in the UK, I'd mostly recommend Vintage

{censored}s sake Marc, not in his bedroom, he'll be sellin Big Issue in the week



My reasoning being that, having lived with an AVT 100 as a home amp, it does work really well in low volume situations, but come the 1st gig/party whatever, the amp will cope...it's not loud for a 100 watt combo, but it IS loud enough to keep up with a drummer, and it saves the panic as you realise that that 10 watt thing, however great it sounds, is not gonna cut it live.

Yamaha pacifica for the guitar.

 

I'm not sure what the market looks like over there for used gear, but in the US I'd probably say to look for a used Peavey tube amp. So I'll say that for you, too.

squier cvc, a used crate vintage club amp, and a big muff.


Im not sure how much 500Ls is but this will be about $7-800usd.

 

 

or the white-bread CV tele and a Classic 30 amp.

I would think for garage you'd want something with humbuckers or P90s..

 

 

i changed my mind....definitely something with p90's. Probably some type of epiphone les paul with p90's. a strat probably won't do what you want. But get the valvtronix
