QUOTE (Lithuanian @ Mar 24 2008, 09:45 PM)  The thing is I'm not experienced enough to know if an amp sounds good or bad as stupid as it sounds. I'm exactly on the same boat mate! I want to get me a new realy good guitar & amp, I have saved money lately, but I have to admit that I still can't tell the difference between so many different models of amps!. And the same thing with guitars: I've been trying SGs, Les pauls and Strats lately. Every time I get new strings I ask the guys at the shop to try a couple guitars... I should start trying them with different amps too  Someday I'll have to make the decision, in the meantime I'm reading all gear threads and checking as many reviews as I can

Hmm, well check this out:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=dD7EoehgpsA That is a nice sounding amp haha I have the 112, it's pretty much eh same deal. You can get the 2x12 for around $700 cdn (112 was $450). Excellent amp for the price. If you want the footswitch, you have to buy it extra (mine was $50). -------------------- Guitars:

But I guess you can judge if you like the sound or not, so this should be the starting point, as long as you don't like the sound of the amp, who the hell cares if it is a great amp or not

Get a Vox AC30. Paul McCartney, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Bono... They all use(d) this amp. The 30W, 2x12' version costs about 800 Euro:
http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/fl...roduct_id/10037 And don't think that 30W is too few. You get most loudness from the first watt. As for a guitar, it really depends what feels good in your hands and what you love playing/listening to. Definitely try a Mexican Stratocaster, an Epiphone Les Paul and some kind of heavy-metal Ibanez.

Man. What you really have to think is: You've got the money, you are the king.
Go to the best guitar stores you can and spend as many time there as you wish. You will feel tempted to buy some stuff on the first store, but take your time. Go back home and search the internet. Ask people here... Last time I was trying to figure out what guitar to buy, I was testing lots of guitars. Made 3-4 visits to a huge guitar shop, spending 2-3 hours each playing. Finally I came across, the one I really bought. I am more than satisfied with that guitar (and that approach for buying)

As long as you are their possible costumer they should be satisfied

QUOTE (SinoMan @ Apr 5 2008, 12:46 PM) The question is whether the shop assistants are also so satisfied with your approach  Yep. After a few visits one of the assistant is now my friend, and he should be satisfied because afterall I bought 2 guitars and pod x3 live there Well, and he also understands a lot and helped a lot. But I know, not everyone helps that much... Well, if they do not help at all, they do not deserve our costumer money... -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
