Hi All, Lets say if u have $2,000 to spend for guitar and related stuff(also include recording equipment) wut gear will u buy ? ? ?
Dollars dude 2000 Dollars just suppose tht u r given this amount of money to spend on guitar or related stuff so wut will u buy ? ?
MEsa Boogies will set u poorer by min 3.5K us dollars ... so u cant buy em with 2000 dollars limits ... :
ESP EC 1000 - $1049 (would have loved to go for a standard gibson lp) Crate GLX1200H(half stack) - $699 (again wanted to go for something better) ibanez ts808 - $169 boss DS-1 - $40 crybaby 535q - $110 and some other bits and bobs .. but the above setup somes it up really ..
Peavey Classic 50 - 600$ JS 1000 - 1100$ Dunlop 535Q - 110$ Ibanez TS - 808 - i guess from the balance
3.5K seems a little high for Mesa? Which model goes for 3.5? Has to be their high end ones. Anyway My choice for 2K: -------------------------------- 1) Fender USA Strat HSS (will change the pickups after buying). 2) A Fender Deluxe amp or similar. 3) A great analog overdrive/distortion pedal. 4) A Good multiFx for things like Delay/Modulation etc... Since I can buy all of these used I could still have some $ left after I get the above. I would buy good quality cables.
all the Mesa rectifiers are above 3.5K ... and the MArk IV are eve n costlier ... u can get Mesa preamps for 2.5K ... but then u will havta buy a separate amp + speaker ... i got this dat from their site ... if u go thru supplier webstes ... then mayB u get a better deal coz they sometimes wanna sell of their stock n for that they are willing to reduce the price
They are amplifiers made in USA. Famous for many of the modern high gain sounds like Metallica. https://www.mesaboogie.com/ For example the Triple Rectifier:
Jekyll Sahab, Maybe we both are right. Those prices maybe true in India. Here they are much less. One for the Newer models the F Series (comes in 30, 50, 100 Watts) is a killer. I have played through the F-50. Its a winner is pretty much in every department. From Clean to full on distortion and everything in between. https://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/F-Series/F-50/F-50CloseUp/F-50-Lg.html Under a 1000 new. Under 800 Used.
dude you have so passed the 2000 mark that from where you are standing the 2000 mark would be a dot to you
Hey Coal ... that sounds cool ... a Mesa for $800 ... but howz that model compared to Rectifiers? and what about the charachteristic Mesa Sound?
Ask ronnie ... He would say its nuts .. and not enough !!!!!! His pedal board is worth 1 lakh !!!!!! So 2000 USD wont be enough for him ... I wud get a coustom made bass for 800 USD ... And a bass pedal for 400 USD ... And a vocal processor for 700 USD and a vocal pedal for 250 !!!!! == 2150 USD !! Oh i went above 2000
