Mr. Jones Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I would reccomend trying a Schecter for a new guitar. I just got an S-1 standard in see thru cherry and I have to say it's one of the nicest guitars ive played. It's got mother of pearl covered Grover tuners( Ive had to tune it once since I got it for X-mas) Duncan Designed JB's' date=' A push/pull coil tap for the strat single coil sound, mother of pearl inlays, a Tone Pros bridge and a fast neck. All of that for $368(Normally $400 but we got it lowered). I would really reccomend a Schecter. Try out a few and see what you like. Most of them come with Duncans or Duncan Designs and all of the features I said. Good luck with your new gear to.[/quote']agreed. I'm a big fan of the Ultra.

Guest iameric Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 hyler stands by his tech 21's, and i stand by hyler.as for guitar, i would decide on whether you like the fender or gibson body styles first. do you like thinner or thicker necks, longer or shorter, etc. also keep in mind whether you really would like/need that acoustic or not. but if you do decide to get an acoustic, i'd take a look at taylors lower end models.schecter is a good brand also.p.s. it's up to you, but if i were looking into epiphones, i would check out gibsons lower sgs. like the sg faded special. pretty nice guitar there. but i don't know if you feel like dishing out $6 or 700.

Mr. Jones Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I'd go with the TM60 still. I can't stand the Marshall 900 series. And for what you play you probably wouldn't like the Mesa Combos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david to the fifth power Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 i think you should look into a better guitar since you're gonna have soo much money left over and plus they charge like madd on tax when you buy that much stuff. so just something to think about.

Mr. Jones Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 if he gets the amp he'll have $1080 to spend on a guitar. I reccomend anything by Reverend Guitarswww.reverendguitars.comor something from Fender's American Series / American Deluxe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve jerbs Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I gotta questionis , say, the Tech 21 TM60 better than, say, a mesa/boogie f-50?or are they different? like, whats the difference in sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8 Ball Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I wouldn't buy the TM300 if I was in your shoes. Except when the speakers are really projecting (high volume situations) it's really only going to be noticably exactly double the volume since it's rated x5 higher than the TM60. If you are playing in high volume situations though, then sure, go for the 300.They are indeed fine for playing punk (IE music that requires high gain w/ high saturation) as well as blues, rock, metal, jazz, etc. They have a tri-preamp section on there that is based off of amps including Fender, Marshall, and Mesa. Because of that they are very versatile, they also give you a list of presets to use or tweak to get you started with the sound you want.As far as Mesa and Marshall combos that UG was telling you to get, they are both fine amps. In some areas I prefer say the JCM900 to a Tech 21, in others I don't, it's a different amp and a different matter of preference. If I were playing a sold out concert hall, I might prefer the JCM for it's tube power amp section (then again, if it's sold out, I may want to have the Tech 21 trademark so I can DI out into the house PA using the Sansamp XLR out). If I go into the studio for a session, I probably want to have the Tech 21 for it's versatality. Theres many different situations, and no one amp can fit them all. However, I do feel that Tech 21 comes closer than any other, that's why I support the amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Shackelford Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I would seriously look into either Schecter or a Gibson Les Paul Jr for a guitar. For Schecters Look at an S-1 and the C-1 models, the S-1 has Duncan Designed and the C-1 usually have Duncans in them, since you play punk the P-90 in the Jr. should suit you pretty well. Billie Joe from Green Day uses one and when he actually plays guitar at the shows it sounds really good. Both go under $800 depending on where you live.
