I Used To Have Money...

It wasn't me!

Meh beauty

I honestly can't regret this though!

david

You bastard! Where's ya get the money for that beast dave!? Did you get the warwick yet?

Giblet

Hey black les paul buddy!

It wasn't me!

Not yet. Only sent the bank draft last friday so it probably won't even have arrived yet. I've no idea how I got that much money to be honest. I owe the parents a few hundred now though, but that won't take too long to work off if I can sell my guitar and amp. I'm guessing you wouldn't mind a spin of that either then?

david

Hell yeah i want a spin of her! All bring my stupid Ibanez and stupid flextone and stupid pedal board... I want a les paul!

feylya

Nice. Can't say I could justify spending €1500 on a guitar. Just make sure you get a nice wide strap and for the love of God, get strap locks for it!

Karl Hungus

Nice! Although contrary to Feylya, I can justify spending €1500 on a guitar.

feylya

Aye, but you have a €1K+ amp to run it through. Ya rich *****

Karl Hungus

I last priced my amp at €2300 tbh.

feylya

€2300 = €1k+ tbh.

Karl Hungus

€1k+ could be anything over €1k... I'm just clarifying the exact amount.

feylya

Showing off more like :rolleyes:

Karl Hungus

Isn't that what this board is for?

feylya

I thought it was for showing off your scallops?

Karl Hungus

No, it's all about how many strings you have on your guitar. Only those with 8 String 36 fret monsters are worthy.

feylya

You only have 6 strings though (at the moment like). I have 7

Karl Hungus

Yes, I'm not phallically re-inforced enough yet.

feylya

I think young It Wasn't Me is now though!

mayordenis

i was lookin at a triple neck 12 + 7 + 6 string id get it just to shut you lot up.

feylya

TBH.

Karl Hungus

Yeah, but Michael Angelo is a prat of the highest order.

Or have as ridiculous a haircut.

But anyway, this is going way off topic, so fair play It wasn't me, we'll be wanting vids!

jcoote

nice one bud... i got an sg a couple of years ago for 1500... and holy **** it wasn't worth it but its all in your own taste... i would be thinkin of all the other stuff i could buy instead but hey if any guitars worth it its a les paul...best of luck man

Ancient1

Congrats dude!

I think it was quite a good price actually, considering how much Gibsons go for these days (especially in the UK and Ireland).

It wasn't me!

The last thing you want is to see/hear me tootle away through my few scales on a guitar like that. :rolleyes: I have to say, it's by far the prettiest guitar I've ever had the privilege to know I'll be playing! Now I just have to be a good enough guitarist to justify it... pooh.

Ancient1

Now I just have to be a good enough guitarist to justify it... pooh.

Just enjoy it and play/abuse it every day - you dont need to justify anything to anyone.

You're now the owner of a Gibson ffs, you're allowed to show off

This man is 100.02% correct! If you enjoy playing, then there's no need to justify it.

Ancient1

I just knew that i could push it that .02% extra

Karl Hungus

Yeah, you're that much more correct than usual. Hell, look at me! I've got an amp worth €2300 and a custom built guitar on the way, and I can hardly play! It's all about the love of playing and nothing else tbh.

Honestly a good guitar sound pretty decent through any amp. I've down plenty gigs with smaller amps and still got the tone I wanted. A quality guitar is number one the list of things IMO.

Having a nice amp is handy too...

jcoote

i've always experienced the opposite..i'd spend ages at rehersals trying to get a good sound froma**** amp.. but go home plug in and there ya go great sound from what was then a marshall

dabhoys

I did a gig once with a 15 watt fender bass amp and a distortion pedal and I had someone come up after and tell me they liked my tone!!!

A quality instrument is worth it in the long term for many other reasons too...

jcoote

oh yeah i'm not sayin your wrong just tellin u about my experience.. the amps i was usin were really bad tho either way..peavy bandit 120 in bad need of a service...need i say more.. i reckon a good guitar is essential to i'm floggin my kinda mid range ones and just buyin a strat **** it

It wasn't me!

Yeah. The Instrument is they key thing. I'll be playing my Les Paul through a solid-state Marshall for the foreseeable future. And on a related note, my Warwick is being shipped on Thursday.

Karl Hungus

It's true, your guitar is the most important thing. No matter how great an amp you might have, chances are you'll mainly be playing through a little practice amp a lot of the time. I play through the microcube most of the time, despite my lovely Mesa Boogie.

Thankfully, sometime in autumn, I'll have the guitar to end all guitars to play through the microcube. And probably, the first person on boards to own their very own custom built axe! Unless I'm wrong, and there's someone else who has a custom axe already.

Don't dis that amp. You know it would destroy your Mesa anyday

Oh and I'd like that Fender amp back at some stage...
