FUCK YOU BITCH!

ok. so i dont hate esp guitars for it, but i hate esp for it.
saw scary kids scaring kids (what a joke) opening at a local festival here.
oh. my. god.
but hey, they did better at guitar than their keyboardist did. casting spells on the audience and running around all king kong shit.
They really do suck at endorsing

I seriuously don't like the look of strat type bodies, which is the one and only reason I didn't get my semi-custom 747. One of the resons why I love BC Rich there looks are always so cool, not neccesarily metal, but the Mockinbird is just the coolest body design ever (to me). I also love the way their neck feel, not Ibby thin or Schector Girthy, and the string spacing is always just right for me (Ibbys are always too damn close!).

I just can't stand the look of strat, but I dig them more than Les Pauls. You see them soooo much! I could live with a soloist though.

I've also always hated Marshall cause so many people play them! Yet the ones I recently tried sound pretty damn good. I'd just want my own sound.

Also about that Spalwn thing, I was seriously considering getting one, now I changed my mind. I'm not supporting hardcore Christians, fuck Christianity I'd rather buy my amp from satanists or muslims (no offense to anyone I hate all religion equally, I was once a Christian boy myself).

-dont be a wanker
-you say the dumbest shti (yes, they wrote shti, not me)

My point behind this comment was that good/great tone can absolutely come from expensive amps. Because IMO, the TriAmp has great tone and it costs a lot. So how that makes me a ghey wanker who says the dumbest shit... is beyond me

FoxZero · 11-14-2007, 05:15 PM

Yeah, I don't see the point in that either.

The amps I want are between $2-4000 just because I want four channels (or should I say need lol). I like to dial in a different crunch, clean, rhythm, and lead sound, so I gotta pay more to do that.

No one's arguing that it DOESNT come from expensive amps. There's great amps that dont cost a lot though. the point was you dont need to spend 3k to get a good tone. I mean, you can get most mesa's for between 1-2 grand.

I got the impression from Bob's post that he thinks good gear doesn't help your ability as a musician. Personally I think better (more expenisve) gear can absolutely help your tone, skillz, etc. When I picked up my Jackson for the first time, it was the only guitar (at the time) that I ever played Call of Ktulu on perfectly without any problems. Which prompted me to but it instantly.

I've noticed a trend... good gear may not be indicative of good or bad players... but crappy gear is indicative of crappy players.

So I think that expensive gear may not 'grant' skillz and tone... I do certainly think it can help a lot.
