Your #1 best buy ever

[sgmypod]

either my Martamp v6-20, Guild bluesbird...or my Gib Sg(has been a pig, but now the best)

For me, it has to be my Yamaha Pacifica 812w. It's nearly 10 years old, completely stock and still plays and sounds great (although is heading toward needing a refret, if I'm honest). Even owning PRSs and US Fenders, I still go back to it when I need an all-around workhorse, and it never, ever lets me down. It also has sentimental value (18th birthday present from my folks), and would be one of 2 guitars I'd grab in the event of fire.

My koch  :D

Ho ho ho.. That was a good one Johnny.

Mine is probably my Indie. Not a greatly known brand name but the guitar has stuck out with me for a few years now and it's slowly getting it's bump and dings which makes love it even more.

Sound City L120 (£200)
Hayden 4X12" Cabinet (£120 but RRP was nearer £300)

This combination is absolutely gorgeous and I believe the cabinet had Vintage 30s in it, though if it doesn't it has a lovely set of speakers in it.

The EQ on the L120 is madly powerful; its the first I have ever used where it is possible to shut off all the output from the amp as opposed to hearing a really weak sound coming through at a slightly reduced volume.

Cracking my HT-DUAL in front makes for an awesome rock and metal tone.

Best buy is probably my Strat. I've had it for like over 8 years now and have never thought of selling it and I still play it. Though I really want some better pickups for it, the ones in there now just aren't what I want.

My Carvin was an amazing buy too, I play it constantly, love it.

My new Allparts/BKP/Callaham Tele, it's miles better that the Fender USA Tele's I tried or my American Standard Strat.
I've not played it today but It's still ringing from yesterday :D

"Ahhhhhh! You could go and have a bite and, ahhhhh, you still be hearing that one."

[HTH AMPS]

I've had a few that come to mind...

* '76 Marshall 2x12 50w combo (like the one Weller uses), £150
* '67 Marshall SLP, £1000
* Orange reverb head unit, £40
* original Dallas Rangemaster, £250
* Nirvana Bleach on red vinyl (Aussie import with red/silver cover), £10 (later sold for £350)
* White/Matamp 100w full stack (2x matching 4x12 cabs), £250
* Fender Dual Showman 2x15 cab, £150 - fantastic but WAY too big

there have also been numerous Selmer T&B heads, Sound City heads and Simms Watts heads that were bought for under £50.00 and an AC30 cab (minus the amp) for £90.00 that had the original '63 alnico blues.

You freaking lucky guy!

[rohlfo]

probs the Mackie Spike I first recorded on. Hearing yourself play on the play-back really makes you aware of what you're actually doing!

Best buy for the money was the second NDM1 I got for £125 brand new. Lurking in the back of a shop, they eventually stuck it on ebay and no bugger bid on it. I was quite proud of that until I was trumped by a mate not long after who got a mint Vista Series Squire Jagmaster for a little over £80. I'm pretty sure the seller didn't realise what he had and that Vistas go for knocking on £300 in that sort of condition!

[indysmith]

Greco 1984 Les Paul Custom - bought for £180 (great guitar too!), sold for £350 simply because I didn't need two LPs and i did need money for food.

[Crazy_Joe]

A Chris Rock DVD.

Though if we are going for guitar related stuff then probably my Mesa Rect-O-Verb (£550) or ESP LTD EC-1000 w/hardcase (£380)

I do love my bargains.
