    Why do you play? Who are you playing for?

    I grew up around music, then I heard Sabbath and had a $15 nylon string beater a couple of weeks later. Sabbath still gets me every time. Geezer's bass was glorious, NIB. I listen to every thing, I just love music. I played in bands a long time ago, but where I live now, it's really limited and...

    Would you rather...

    Had a broken toe, hurts... A lot... I would him my guitar with a hammer before breaking another toe.

    Also, I bought new because everything used is typically local pick up.

    Indeed, blew my budget because I was just impatient. The TT800 has yes to ship, back ordered... My thinking was to add another 112 and a 410, if that even makes sense. Agree, especially Helmet style, which the bass is very prominent. Helmet (Henry) was always my favorite bass tone, just...

    Thanks, I certainly would have screwed the pooch on that. Trying to find something quality but not ridiculous in price. I know guitar brands, so maybe Pig Hog makes them. I appreciate the help. I'll be stupid careful with the ohms.

    At the risk of sounding like a total dumb ass... I just said fug it and ordered a Mesa TT800 and Mesa subway 112. Now... which speaker cable? "I'm new, I don't know what to do!" -Joe Dirt I haven't played anything but combo's for the longest time and I REALLY don't want to blow this thing up or...

    NEW MESA TT 800 AMP. OH. MY. GOD.

    Am I just paranoid or does anyone else think the tubes are a bit close to that ribbon wire and circut board? If no one else is concerned, I'll feel better. haha

    I did see the DNA amps, had no idea they were Eden, which was/is a killer amp. When I was reading old posts the SWR Super Redhead & Eden were mentioned a lot. I did consider them both because of the positives, but the weight is makes them local pick ups. LOL So DNA is Eden and Fender bought &...

    I was looking through every amp suggested and a few others and when I seen and read the Mesa TT 800 description it mentioned the 400+ , which was my very first choice, but the heads were old and heavy. Price wise, they're up there compared to other options. The Portaflex sounds really nice in...

    Thanks guys. the suggestions will put me where I need/want to be no doubt, because I trust you more than myself. A 115 would probably be good for the house, keep the 410 at the drummer's. Don't need to blow the paint from the walls. I tend to crank amps, especially if I have access to a ton of...

    Sorry a million times over, I know this topic is a constant by new members on gear pages and I know it's redundant. BUT I know the typical responses, genre, budget, home or band, jock itch, ring worm? So I'll try to be as specific as possible. Genres: Hardcore, hard rock, (Helmet, Tool...
