    Ok, got €400 to spend and I have no clue on what to get.

    My rig is:

    Amp:
    Cornford Roadhouse 30
    HB 2x12 cab (with celestions v30)

    Guitars:
    Jackson Kelly Profesional w/Emgs
    Epiphone Lp w/ SD's Alnico II and JB

    Pedals:
    Pearl Anolog delay
    Boss Fz-5 fuzz
    Glx Chorus (cheap but those the job good)
    Dunlop Wah (dont use it)

    Just wondering what else could I buy?

    One option is selling the jackson as Im not too into metal anymore and putting that money towards a second hand american fender/Jap fender/tokai/Bacchus or any good jap strat.
    (and if it wouldnt be too much of a bother, if you spot any good deals on any of those pm me! Would be highly appreciated)

    Feel free to shout out suggestions anyway! :)

    My suggestion is to save your money, and not spend it until there's something you know you really want. Don't go looking for other people to spend your money for you if there's nothing you need, because when the time comes further down the line when you need it, you might be sore that you spent that €400.

    Be wise with your money.

    If I were you, I'd be looking for a better guitar. Those are both low-mid range guitars. I'd be looking to upgrade to something higher up the scale. However unless you get lucky €400 is probably not enough, I'd save or sell the Jackson and then look for something.

    Korg Pitchblack tuner...?
    I got one a while back and they're great (as far as tuners go :pac:). True-bypass, very accurate and fast, good clear display, very good altogether.

    I agree. What if he buys some novelty now but in two weeks time sees a guitar he's always wanted going for a great price.

    Wait until you see something you REALLY want.

    Actually, not a bad idea. It seems nice and neat. and cheap enough too! :D

    And I think I will wait till I sell the jackson so I can spend more on a good guitar like the Bacchus Soloist :pac:

    Hi my friend,
    I have two at the moment,a 20th anniversary silhouette& a BFR 'John Petrucci' signature.what have you got?do you play EBMM guitars too?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,658 ✭✭✭Patricide


    Id second the MM guitar dave, versitile and great guitars as im sure you know allll too well. Chrisguitars have a few cheap uns sometimes too....But i would deffo recomend a stage tuner, been meaning to get one for AGES myself.

    As much as I love Music Man, and I'm itching to say "Buy a Petrucci!", no doubt about it... I still think that putting away the cash for now until something you really want comes along is the best advice I can give. There's really no point in looking for someone to suggest something to spend your cash on if you don't have something you want in mind yourself, that's just wasting cash.
