Guitar Porn - Show Me Yours

only guitar in my house has The Little Mermaid on it.
 
Marshall MG10, I don't like it. The tone is good, but too bright, I feel like I am trying to play jangle rock. It is better than nothing but I wish I had a do-over and could spend a little more and get something with actual treble, mid, bass control. The way it stands, I only play it if I am in that room with my axe.

Verdict - do not buy. Get the next step up with tone control.

This is my practice amp. I've had this little beast for about 20 years. Still sounds bigger than it is.

My half stack it tucked away in my closet. Can't get to it easily for a picture.

Nobody wants to show or talk about their amps? I don't care how good your guitar or bass is, it's really only as good as your amp. I've always found that you can make a mediocre guitar sound really good through a great amp, but, if you have a cheesy amp, then you have a cheesy sounding guitar.

Another bass snuck in there. 😬
 
Nice. I've always been a huge fan of the tone these put out. Geddy Lee agrees.
I’ve always wanted one and somehow never had one. I love the sound too, solo at least. Still trying to figure out how to get it to sit in with a group.

Awesome, this is more what I have in mind for my next purchase. I'm gonna sell my Marshall mini and put it towards something like this up to $200.
 
My home amp, which is plenty for someone at my level of talent(very low) I usually plug my headphones into the output

I think this model (or one similar to it) goes for about $175 bucks these days. I've abused this amp and it sounds just as good as day one. It has that real Marshall overdrive tone, even though it isn't a tube amp. I recommend.

I was thinking about upgrading to the 12" 50 watt version, but I don't have the $400 of extra scratch right now.

Yeah, a really good amp gets expensive fast. I learned my lesson fast with that tiny Marshall. I wanted Marshall sound and just can't find it playable due to no deep tones.

There is good bang for the buck, but from now on I play before I buy.

I used to own a Marshall Park series amp. Even though it was 15 watts (not sure what the SPL rating was) it was loud enough to play a small venue. It actually had a decent clean tone which was primarily how I had it set up.
 
For in the house, I run my keyboards through studio monitors, but for live performance, I run through this -- a Mackie srm450v3, 1000 watt monitor speaker.mackie2.jpg

Here’s mine. I’m very smitten with this Ibanez. It’s got electric plug in, but why the fuck would I want to do that? I just like having the tuner on board.

Had a red Strat for a few years (purchase was part of my divorce celebration). But after a bit I found that with the choice I always grabbed the Ibanez most of the time anyway, so I rehomed the strat

I love Ibanez guitars. It's their neck shape more than anything. Fits my hand just right. That guitar is pretty similar to the one I posted. Is that a slim body?
 
Les Paul's are great, my man. Mine is an ESP Eclipse Standard, though.
Ba ha ha. Shows how close I looked I just saw the color burst and silhouette. Imagine that was more economical than a branded Les Paul?

No, it was about the same. I've been an ESP fan since I started playing guitar. They look similar, but play a lot differently.

It’s not a thin body. I liked the way the felt to hold, but felt this one just sounded better.

This isn’t slim body....but it’s not hulking either. Plus I loved the neck. It’s a little smaller and more narrow and fits my hand better. Gotta love Ibanez for that.
