If you played Guitar what gear would you own?

I already own a guitar(Les Paul)...

If I actually played in today's world-
I would love a 335 + a Tom Anderson strat-style.

Amps?
I'm partial to OLD/'60s Fender Twins.

FX? No way...!

 

wow. how many of those did they hop you up on?!?!?

 

-Fender Tube Amp
-Stratocaster.


You don't need much more than that.

 

I'd play anything that I could smash easily.

 

I think I would have a Parker or Musicman axe (yes, I don't like the basses, but their guitars sound killer). Amplification, I don't know, I'm not too familiar with that. Although I do like the tone Steve Lukather gets from his Musicman / Rivera setup.

If I couldn't afford that stuff... Fender Stratocaster and Marshall tube half stack. They always seem to do the trick, don't they?

 

Amps: Peavey 5150
Guitars: ESP, Tom Anderson

Hey, I do play guitar! Please don't shoot me!

I have a Fender Custom Shop Custom Classic Tele in pink sparkle and a Mesa Subway Rocket amp. I don't play electric in public, but I spend a fair amount of time on acoustic for church and stuff. I've got a Dana Bourgeois JR-A, Takamine EF325SRC, and Tacoma DM10.

I still like the bass better though.

 

so you like the sound of poo eh? Seriously... all those effects will eat your tone ALIVE. Boss isnt true bypass, so it alters the tone, the more and more you add, the more it eats the crap out of it. oh well... your loss...

As for what kind of guitar gear i'd have...

(heres what i already got)
-Gretsch 6119 tennessee Rose
-Fender Stratocaster
-Fender Fat Stratocaster
-Taylor 810 acustic
-Mesa/boogie V-Twin Pre-amp/distortion pedal
-Boss DD-3 (i hate it soo much... but i need slap back delay for rockabilly. anyone wanna trade delay pedals?)
-Fender Champ 30
-Fender Blues Jr.
My Gear (CLICK ME)


What i would like to aquire:
-Gibson Les Paul custom
-Fender Blackface Twin Reverb (my old guitar teacher had one, ooohhhiiieee sooo sweet)
-Marshall JCM-900 with Plexi half stack
-Roland Space Echo (to replace my DD-3)
-Gibson SG Std.
-Fender CS NoCaster

 

I got to play a EB John Petrucci 7 recently...that IS the one. With a stoptail and an ebony fretboard, it would be THE ONE.

I also like the Ibanez Steve Vai 7 (hey, i like 7 string necks!), and I also like PRS's. But, for the price, it would be the EB JP or Ibanez SV.

Then again, ever seen those DTM's on Ed roman's site?

 

id get an ibanez sg series. I like new metal. I might also get a MIM strat coz i like funk. i dunno... what ever

 

i need 2 rigs.

1)Gibson SG
Marshall JCM800 head
Marshall 4x12

2)Fender 90's Thinline Telecaster
Reverend Hellhound amp

currently i play an ibanez GAX70 thru a little bass combo.

 

My wife is the guitarist in my band, so
I get to use her rig which is a Fender Tele through
a Fender Twin and a Digitech RP2000, but if
I were a guitarist by trade I would have a
Paul Reed Smith.

Just for the record, since you said guitar stuff is cheap, i'll agree with you on that for the most part considering what you picked except for the amp. That rig that you chose would cost just as a great Mesa bass rig.

 

i'll i'd need is a gun and one bullet. guitar just isnt worth it...

 

already have what I'd want
American Standard Strat
American Tele+
Fender Custom Shop Vibrasonic(all tube)
Yairi WY-01 acoustic/electric
Pedals:TU-2 tuner, CS3 comp/sustainer,Morley Wah,
Blues Driver, Peavey Delay,Danelectro Flanger.

 

I didnt even see him say that guitar is cheeper... I beg to differ... example? sure...

Entry level guitar vs. bass

Bass: Fender MIM equal to quality or whatever, and a 50w practice amp (enough to play with a drummer, kinda barely make it, but i've done it before, and it works... total cost for both: $300 for bass, $250-300 for amp. thats a totall of $550-$600

Guitar: Fender MIM Strat/tele or equal to quality or price, and a 15w all tube or 50w ss guitar amp (just barly loud enough to play over a drummer. Totall cost for both: $300 for guitar, $300-$350. totall overall is $600-$650

This may not seem entry level for all, but its close to entry level. Guitar ends up slightly more.

Mid Level Guitar vs. Bass

Bass: American Series Fender, various other basses in that price range/quality level. A 200w-300w combo amp. such as fender bassman 400 combo, swr Redhead. Totall price: $600-800 for bass, $700-900 for combo amp. Overall:$1,300-$1,700.

Guitar: American Series Fender stat or tele, or Gibson SG Special, or equal quality or value. A 50w Tube guitar amp, such as Fender DRRI, or TRRI, or Marshall JCM-45. Totall price: $600-$800 for the guitar, and $700-900 for the amp. Totall price $1,300-$1,700.

overall, aprox the same price range.

Pro level Guitar vs. Bass

Bass: Spector American, Lakland, Sadowsky, or in that price range or equal quality. a 800w ss amp, full stack cab. such as eden, swr, ect. totall prices: $1,500-$3,000 for the bass, $2,000-$3,000 for the amp. overall price: $3,500-$6,000

Guitar: Gibson Les Paul Std. Fender CS, or in that price range or simular or equal quality. A 100w-150w all tube guitar full stack. such as a Marshall JCM-900 head, or Mesa/boogie Rectifiers and 2 4x12 cabs Prices: $2,000-$3,500 for the Guitar, $2,000-$3,000 for the amp. over all: $4,000-$6,500.

Overall, still aprox the same price range, if not more.

You see... they are quite simular, guitarists go though gas as well as bass, but guitar players also have to deal with gas on effect pedals (more so than with bass, although there are some exceptions). All of these were aproxamations, of course there will be disagreements over what is a certain quality of gear, and whatever. this was just a generilizatoin, so dont flame me.

 

My guitarist is about 2/3 of the way there. Hes got the JCM800 and a Marshall 1960 (followed by letters) 4x12 cab. He has a Les Paul clone, if that counts as anything toward an SG?

 

My guitar would have four strings and tuned down an octave, wait a second.......
