just the ones the heads were plugged into already, cant remember what speakers were in them though

Fairly sure both heads were around $1500

ive tried the el34 and el84 versions, both extremely clean amps, barely any breakup, as expected the el84 is more toppy.

Best clean sound i have ever heard though, insanely lush and warm.

great price too imo

didnt try them with a boost though

Mesa boogie subway rocket if you can find one

I love playing electric, but for tutoring i use my acoustic...i dont like playing acoustic

so you didnt go with crippled fingers chris? boo

I like solos when they appear to have a reason for being in the song, like it takes the song somewhere. However some guitarists seem to get to a point where they think theyre good enough that they have to do 5 minute solos on every song. A good example is dan donegan's solos from disturbed, in their...

Id recommend finding what sound you want, based on the type of music you typically play. Its damn expensive to get an amp thats effective as a jack of all trades. For rock probably an orange tiny terror or dual terror, metal id say a mesa subway rocket if your lucky enough to find one on trademe ot...

I used to gig with a spider 2 150watt head with a 4x12, i could get it to cut through, but i was never happy with the sound. So then i got a spider valve, but that didnt suit me either. The funny thing was that even though theres all the modelled amps for clean crunch etc, whenever i changed between...

i keep thinking about a lower gain pickup than my super 2 actually, its not like my amp needs a hot tone going into it, and the treble is getting a bit harsh and metallic sounding on the plain strings particularly

I named one guitar, but i havent since. As ed says it felt kinda weird, and im not a person to name inanimate objects, or have much of an attatchment to them. But when i did name that other guitar i just sat down and let my brain come up with the name. its the same with any lil pets we've had, just ...

now tune to drop d and see if you can still do a full barrechord

Subway rockets are definately a good choice and can cover many genre's, but some people dont like the 10 inch speaker.

also the guy on tm is asking a bit much for one, i got mine for 800

I keep telling my bassist to get more and more wattage. So far ive got him looking at 1000w or something.

Very easy guy to persuade

I use combo and cab, but thats cause the speaker in the combo is fucked and i need a new one, if i turn the volume up it gives up...but running an external cab its fine!

what kind of a tone would you be looking for? bass heavy? mid heavy? treble heavy? or one of them in between ones, cause that would affect the kind of wood you should be looking for. Im not exactly a master of wood (oo er) but mahogany is generally liked pretty well. Most important though is that it...
