What's the best thing you've obtained music-wise in 2019 and why? It can be a guitar, pedal, amp, processor, software, tuner, whatever... Curious to see what everyone's best acquisition was this year.

Considering purchasing a new ESP guitar. Asking here before calling a retailer in hopes of getting a "different" perspective. Looking at the following models: M-400 M-1000 M-II Series I have 2 questions: Practically speaking, what is the difference? How do the Kirk Hammett models fit in...

I want a sustainer guitar really bad, but nobody can afford a PC-1 or original 80's Kramer Sustainer, if you can even find one for sale. I just found this 1999 Kramer Baretta Infinity Sustainer for $300 locally. Should I does it? Neck 3-pc laminated, Hard Maple, 24 fret, rosewood...

..... threw me a surprise birthday party (more than a month in advance) that I totally did not expect. She asked that for gifts people contribute what they would like towards the BE100 that I have been talking about for some time. The cake has a pic of a BE100 on it. Now I am 650 dollars...

Kiesel Series USA Custom Shop Guitars | CarvinGuitars.com Some of these Kiesels look nice as all hell, I'm loving the tops. I really like the SCB6. I might have to take a look into some of these. One possibly might be my next purchase.

Possible purchase - Schecter Solo - and NGD Anyone have any opinions on the Schecter Damien Solo-6 Elite? I have an opportunity to pick one up for $240. It looks like a 2010 Model (transparent black maple top). EMG 85/81 combo hardtail. Seller claims excellent condition. It's local and I...

As well as make all you guys feel bad that, from distances over 20 feet the Sam Ash house brand special I bought off ebay years ago thinking "This vague headstock branding with only a letter and 'New York' must mean a truly elite luthier made this, it's a bargain for $150" looks more expensive...

Ok after hours of reading and searching I am completely confused. There are so many choices in amps, but I need some help to make sure I dont end up with an amp that isnt right. Your guidance in the past has been greatly helpful. so thanks in advance. Heres my situation and tastes: -own a...

Hey all, I'm looking to get rid of my 2x12 Fender combo and move to a poweramp + HD500 set up. I'm trying to stay under $400 so an all tube amp is probably out of the question. I'm looking at Carvin, specifically this: Carvin.com : HD1500 ULTRA LIGHT 1500W POWER AMP Any other suggestions...

Whats your favorite piece of gear you bought this year? Mine is the Kemper Profiling Amplifier.

So, I've noticed that a lot of Axe FX patches I have downloaded and auditioned through my monitors sounded really bassy and had that woooOOOOOOMMMPPP swell to them. I've modified my patches so they sound really good in my room. We took my monitors and my axe fx to another place to record, that...

I have an old version of cubase (se3) that doesn't work on win 7, so it's basically useless to me as i no longer have an xp machine. I'm poor. And i don't need anything special. cubase 6 elements is 99 bucks and that sounds like a decent deal. I was never 'good' at this software either, so...

I'm not a gamer, really, but after playing Portal for the first time last week I'd really like to play Portal 2. The trouble is my main desktop is of the small and quiet variety (I was on a miniature kick when I bought it). So I need a graphics card that's small and doesn't consume too much...

Alright, comparison time. As some of you may have read in my previous thread, I lost everything in a fire, including all my guitars. Fortunately, my grandmother really wants to buy me a new guitar, so I've been thinking about what to buy. My budget is about 700 ish max. The two main guitars...

Hey dudes. A couple weeks back my guitar player's house caught fire, and pretty much all of our equipment suffered pretty bad smoke damage, including the Dual Rectifier that I had bought from a friend a couple months back. Luckily for us, his house was covered by insurance and all of our...

This was just too fro0t to pass up last night. Never tried a USA Schecter before, so why not? H8ing on the EMG, but oh well, at least it matches the paint. It is the actual one from the Schecter catalog.
