weigh in, ILF - this or that?

Post by Zounds Perspex »

so I'm thinning my guitar herd again a little bit - already sold one guit, and another is going too. (both of my Eric Johnson Strats.)

now here's the question - spend the dough to get a killer guitar (but really just a super custom version of one I already have), or to get a killer amp unlike any that I have ( a Magic Brit MKII TB86).

I'll still have a radd Telemaster and a radd Strat, plus a pretty decent Jazzmaster. if I get another guitar, I'm leaning towards another Telemaster.
Amp-wise I have a big pile of blackface Fender type amps, and not much else (except a big iron bass/doom amp.)

I'm waffling like mad. whatcha think?

I've always felt that you can play any guitar, hot or shitty, into a great amp and feel really good about it. As long as you have a great amp and a great fuzzbox, you'll be fine with any old guitar.


Sounds like your guitar collection is pretty fucking sweet as it is!

ha, guitar-wise, it's more like I'm refining what I want and getting the killerest version of those guitars that I can. But yeah, guitar-wise I'm thinking I could be pretty happy just getting to know the Protocaster and Danocaster a little better.

Amp-wise, the Brit is pretty different from anything that I've had. (I could also buy a Swart, but I'm getting more interested in a cool Vox-style amp.) that said...blackface Fenders sure as hell just WORK for me. Thinking it would be cool to vary the ol' tonal palette a bit, though.

That waffle guitar is gross.

Perhaps if I covered it in syrup ... and then smashed it?

Get an amp with a pentode in the preamp. I pretty sure you will dig the width of the additional overtones.
