2 months ? A real veteran. I was a virtuoso after 2 weeks. That's when I got my first Marshall Superlead and 59 LP. I've moved on to much better stuff since then.

Hey guys a bit mean on some of the posts!

Money isnt really a problem for me and as such I just wanted to get the finest guitars and equipment available to make playing more fun and exciting.

I know what you are all saying that the majority learned on 'cheap gear', but why should they lol! I am sure if they or any of you had a few million in the bank and you really loved music and guitar you would all do what I have done.

Ok I admit I know very little about gear but thats why I asked...I thought you would all be happy for me and supportive of how keen I was.

I will just ask elsewhere.

Indeed, I'd recommend a Gibson R9 with ceramic Warpigs into a Dumble. Great grinding sound. A Boss MT-2 (better two) will bring the brootalz.

I still don't believe you're not a troll.

If you have that much money, employ someone to buy, set up and mod the guitars, amps and pedals for you. Or at the least employ someone to make sensible decisions for you.


If I went onto a computer forum and said "Hi guys, I have more money than sense and have never played computer games, but I want to get the best computer money can buy because that will make me the best player on the planet. I've heard SLI is good, shall I get a CPU and GPU farm?," what do you think the response would be?

Frankly, sir, I think you'd look great with a telecaster.

TGP?

EDIT: though if you're gonna post over there better change that opening post... instead of "rock and metal", say, "I want to sound like robben ford playing politician".

obviously i'm assuming you're a troll. if you're not, my apologies, but hanging about on forums a lot you get to see your fair share of troll posts... and this looks like one. Might not be, of course. :)

Coming from you, I think this is one of my favorite insults ever^^

This is the equivalent of passing your driving test, then buying a Radical, race suit, and hiring a support team and turning up at a track day. All that'll have happened is that you'll have spent 10's of thousands of pounds to be overtaken by someone with experience in an MX-5, repeatedly.
When youīre racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just pies.
