I’m still very novice so picking / strumming along to shit I like to listen to is 99% and I’ll tell you, in a single sit down, I hit pause and slide the slider on Tidal back half an inch over and over and over again. There are other ways to achieve that with different apps and such, but it’s nice having everything integrated into one piece of hardware and it’s corresponding app.
February 22, 20223 yr Not sure i was planning on spending that much money. I was thinking more along the lines of a CV70 (since i can't/don't want to afford the '59 Epi or a low end Gibson/Fender) and like a small Orange amp. Something in the $75-$150 range. I'll probably buy nothing. Already wishing i had got the Fender HSS at Guitar Center while i was there Thursday night. Then i wouldn't have to think about it anymore.
February 22, 20223 yr Classic Vibes are nice guitars. You are only missing the Fender logo and you can't see it while you're playing, anyway.

FYI… THE SPARK APP IS FREE!! No one needs to buy the amp just to use the app. (Unless something has changed.) For the beginner, the app is so much more important than the amp. You don’t need an amp of any kind. Just download the app and start practicing.

February 23, 20223 yr Can't see the logo...I LOVE that comment. Lots of from stuff in this Kenny Vaughan video, but ship to the 1 hr, 20 min mark and listen to what he says about that Squire. That is Kenny Fucking Vaughan.

February 23, 20223 yr Lol we’re above averagehttps://www.guitarworld.com/news/reverb-the-average-guitar-rig-in-2022Don’t show that to my wife.
February 23, 20223 yr I'm probably well below that in amps and pedals, but I am probably in the top 2 percent in total number of guitars per songs actually played.

I bought it specifically for 5 strings and open G. Sits next to the couch and is fun to pick up. I think I paid $80 used. Worth it.
February 23, 20223 yr Quote To determine the average rig, the retailer observed its best-selling gear lists and the Reverb Price Guide, and found that players most commonly own one or two electric guitars, one acoustic guitar, a guitar amp and a small collection of pedals. That's cute.
February 23, 20223 yr For cheap (and lefty) I'm considering putting an order in for a couple of Harley Benton's. A jszzmaster ripoff and a black with gold hardware HH tele style. I'm not buying anything substantial for a while but still can't help but add stuff.

February 24, 20223 yr I wanna know what bogey does for a living to buy all that gear. Not that I would because I just don't room for it, but my wife would sniff out every piece of gear I got and remind me I'm still a shitty player and should just play with what I have and stop buying new guitars.

Help run a small business. I don’t make a ton but I’ve saved every stinking penny for these moments. Wife and I have been on 2 vacations together since 2010. So for example 3k Mexico trip or new guitar? Welp we know the answer to this don’t we
February 24, 20223 yr Stock up on spare tubes. Probably not getting any Russian-made ones for a while.
February 24, 20223 yr My wife seems unaffected about my gear, guns, and other toys, but by the look of her closet and ride she's a forensic accountant.
February 24, 20223 yr Damn. My Spark already arrived. I've waited longer for socks to arrive with Amazon lately. I'm not mentally ready for it.

February 25, 20223 yr On 2/21/2022 at 11:35 AM, Deej said: I'm sure it's great, but my personal experience with modelers is option overload and I end up playing less than I would straight into an amp with just tone and volume knobs to screw with. This is my reason for ditching the large pedal board for two smaller ones (nano/nano+), the larger of which I never have used in a group setting, as well as my "4 knobs max per pedal" rule, which only has two exceptions---the PiPhase (Biphase clone) and the Biegle FX Trutron 3x (revised Mutron III), and no more pedals with internal dip switches for custom tweaking.

I’m close to the point where anything more than guitar and amp is overload. I have a clean boost from Vintage47 that I put in front of my amps, and any effects are whatever is onboard a particular amp.
February 25, 20223 yr I may end up asking for a Spark amp for my birthday. Keep us posted on your thoughts Butch. I like the idea of it auto pulling chords and being able to look for a certain sound like Duff G&R or whatever. That Mesa looks absolutely unbelievable. I would not even know where to start. My "tones" are Clean, a little Dirt, a little more Dirt, P bass dimed, P bass tone rolled off.
