What shall i buy next?

[Chrisi Rokks]

Im either gettin a gibson les paul or a marshall erm jcm800 or 900. any suggestions on which one??

[Me Scandar]

les pual definatley, you can save later for the amp, in the meanwhile you can play with other amps, but for sure go with lp first, notn more satysfying that framing the certificate and hanging it on your wall and feel the gain through your bones and glide through the oil-massaged neck and everything that comes with a lp

[pewing33ny]

get an edwards les paul from japan for $700 new. i like mine better then every gibson I've played besides a pre-historic r9 at guitar center once.

that way you'll have a real good headstart on getting a jcm 800.

although i could understand if you REALLY want a gibson. they're nice guitars and if you have your heart set on a gibson go for it.

i would personally try out a bunch of les pauls and if you can't find a magic one after visiting all the guitar stores then i'd go with a used jcm 800 on ebay because amps don't vary too much from amp to amp.

depends on what you have now...

[ibanez0314]

it depends what kind of guitar do u have now? If its pretty good i would go for the amp... but if its crappy go for the guitar...

[Chrisi Rokks]

i have an epiphone les paul and a marshall mg100dfx

so i have like the crappy equipment to what i want

[nomorelies]

no seriously buy first the guitar... you can't do anywthing just with an amp :|

It depends on what you want to do. Are you going to be playing shows any time soon? If you're going to be doing gigs, I would definitely go with the amp first. That Marshall MG series is terrible. If you're just starting out and want some decent equipment, it doesn't matter which way you go.

*Actually, I would recommend getting the amp first either way. That MG series is absolute shit. Your Epi will sound 1000 times better through a decent amp.

Exactly

Yeah i do gigs regularly. So maybe the amp would be better cos the MG series sucks balls

[matt_barker]

Marshall Amp... the amps rock... get a guitar later..

[slashs_servant]

epiphone les paul what ??? Standard or custom ???

Dood i got an epiphone custom, and i run it through my jcm 2000 tsl602 and the tone fucking rocks. Its so sweet. If i was you i would go for a jcm 800, but you probably dont need it. A tsl combo will do the trick, it puts out, and you can save yourself alot of cash!!! Not worth getting a stack unless your doing real big gigs ;|

[Chrisi Rokks]

Erm, dunno. Its a gold top but its like Slash's (open coils and no scratch plate) it was 2nd hand but in shit hot condition

[Duffs Velvet Rose]

you can never have enough guitars!! and you cant play an amp!
