marshall jcm2000 tsl 122 or fender twin reverb reissue?
216127
I have a Marshall jcm2000 tsl and i absoultely love it.  It has all of the balls to the wall tone i was looking for.  However, i have played around on a fender twin and was very pleased with it, too.  Deciding which one is best for you really all depends on what tones you are looking for.  If you're looking for a good metalish tone, go with the marshall.  If you're looking for a good blues rockish sound, go with the fender.  They both have great clean tones, so if that's what you're looking for, it's a toss up that's gonna be decided by the guitar you play through it with.  They are both very well made amps and will do pretty much whatever you want.  I have to say, though, I'm partial to the Marshall.

That's a double cutaway black acoustic with an "S" on the headstock. If you truly want one of these, it'll cost ya.\nYou can get one from Gibson's Custom Guitar Facility in Nashville. \nStart here: http://www.gibsoncustom.com/\nOr, if you're super serious, contact me.

It's the same which one u start on.they have different playing technique.The acoustic is easier is because there is less things to buy.so when u have tried it you can find out whether u want to pursue it further.

Remo emperor coated heads are the best for a dry classic sound. If you want a more loud amplified go with the powerstrokes he recommended you.

Rogue is a pretty decent company which is devoted to keeping prices low. Musician's friend is selling their starter acoustic for $40 to $60 bucks.

I believe Samick is a Korean company...their products in general are regarded as average...they do have some quality stuff, you just have to know what to look for. \n\nI own a Greg Benett bass (its made from Samick parts), which I love....but when i first got it, it wasn't all that. \n\nI replaced the pick-ups, to Bartolini, and now it really sounds sweeeeet! So there's your answer...if you like the guitar, and if its not to pricy, 1) buy it, then 2) modify it. Or 3) maybe it sounds great as is, but i doubt it\n\ncheers,\nBasshead35

the earlier, the better. whatever one has "mudshovel" on it, unless you're in to more acoustical stuff. but you could just go to amazon.com and listen to song samples to see which one YOU like, right?

Depends what sound you want. If you want a traditional strat sound like Jimi Hendrix had, get singlecoils, if you're looking for more of a sound like Jimmy Page or someone else that uses a Les Paul has, get a humbucker.

I'd say if you play metal, swap out the pickups in your les paul for I'd say go for steve vai' s pickups, they're awesome, perfect harmonics, great crunchy sound, yet still crisp, here is the link to the bridge http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/DiMarzio-DP159-Evolution-Bridge-Pickup?sku=302960 and the link to the neck http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/DiMarzio-DP158-Evolution-Neck-Pickup?sku=302950, I hope you like these. \np.s. if you like steve vai, these sound just like his

Definitely stick with it.  Glad to hear you're starting with acoustic; alot of people start with electric and I think it robs them a little.  Acoustic takes a little more to play because the action of the fretboard is greater and bends and hammer-ons have to be done more crisply.  I learned with tabs you can find on any of hundreds of tabulature sites.  Once you get the timing down you'll pick it up.

The electronics on both of them are poor compared to their more expensive counterparts, but I would lean toward the Les Paul because there are more controls and you can define your tone better.

It's not the most popular axe out there.  May not be easy to find.  You can get a reissue at:\n\nwww.fender.com\n\nYou may also want to let these folks know.  They specialize in vintage stuff.  \n\nhttp://www.elderly.com/\n\n\nkeep in mind you probably won't get a really cheap price.  You can get a semi hollow Telecaster, I believe in hi-way one model and mod it to your liking, would probably be cheaper that way.\n\nIf you're looking to buy a guitar because you favorite player uses it, that wouldn't be a smart thing.  Go to a music store and play all of them and pick the one that fits you best.  Telecaster just isn't very comfortable to me, I liked the strat for comfort more than the high end Les Pauls.

I say get a Fender Standard Strat because they are cheaper and to me they sound just as good.  But for like a hundred or so dollars more you could get the Buddy Guy Strat.  I love Buddy Guy by the way so that might have been biased.  haha...but definately consider the standard.

whatever you get, I suggest checking out Craigslist.org to see if there's a listing for your city. I bought my first bass, a Fender Standard Jazz Bass and a Polytone amplifier for $300 total. Since then I have moved that bass to my backup and bought a Fender American Jazz V. The Polytone is still my gigging amp though.\n\nI frequently see Fender Standard Jazz and Precision basses selling on my (San Diego) craigslist in the $200-$300 range. I'm a really big Jazz bass fan, but I realize that different people have different tastes. Ibanez is supposed to also make a good bass in that price range.\n\nNo matter what you decide to go with, I'd definitely do some research into the used market, whether it's craigslist, eBay, the newspaper classifieds or the local pawnshop. Sometimes you can get some great deals just because something isn't in perfect condition. Also, you may find a unique bass that you won't find in Guitar Center, or whoever your local new instrument dealer is.

schecter makes a good 5 or 6 string, but if you are just starting out 4 string would be much more practical. In that instance, I recommend getting a Fender J bass.
