I’d say so

#

That’s what they go for

#

New I assume?

open hound
#

It seemed new for sure

#

It was on the wall

#

Do guitar stores have extras in stock in the back?

livid marten
#

I would imagine it’s new

livid marten
#

Most of the time unless they’re quite small

open hound
#

It's a Sam ash

#

Do you think they'd let me choose between the samemodels? Like the patterns aren't made equal

livid marten
livid marten
#

Try the another of the same?

#

I would imagine

#

If they have any in stock

open hound
#

There's variations of the uhhh you know the lines in the wood and stuff

#

I saw Sweetwater did something like that

#

Where they have pictures of different models and the buyer can pick whichever pattern they prefer

livid marten
#

Just ask your local if you can do that

#

They’re making a sale so it’s probably all good for them to - if they say no don’t get it

open hound
#

Also would you think I should upgrade my Amp too? I have a Roland micro cube

#

Since they're doing a closing sale might as well buy what I can

livid marten
#

Before you drop 800 on a guitar, you’ll be better off splitting the budget in half for a guitar + amp

#

400 on each

#

Or about 200-300 on the amp

open hound
#

I think guitar rig 7 is fine with me right now

#

I have my Roland micro cube gx and Roland portable amp

livid marten
#

Eh I ain’t sure man

#

Amp effects sound WAY more than guitar

#

get a decent combo for like 300

#

funnily enough theres an amp thread under this one

#

when it comes to the guitar i'd say yeah thats the price they usually go for

#

SE custom 24s are usually around 1200CAD here which is like 890 US

#

they might let you check different ones out to see the figuring in the maple, its a veneer and not an actual figured top

open hound
#

They are doing a promotion so that if I do buy a guitar through one of their sales associates I can get a $50 gift card from their store

#

And even if you return the guitar you'll keep the $50 gift card

#

So essentially I can return the guitar and buy it again with the $50 gift card

I’d personally go for a katana 100

#

Also what's a cabinet?

earnest crest
earnest crest
#

basically a wooden frame with speakers

open hound

#

and a guitar 'head' is the amp circuit itself

open hound
#

So you put a speaker in there?

earnest crest
#

you cant use a cab without a head

earnest crest
open hound
#

that's a cabinet

earnest crest
#

is that a combo amp or a cab

open hound
#

from marshall

earnest crest
#

oh

#

you dont put a speaker in there it already has speakers

open hound
#

but it's not an amp

#

oh it's just a speaker?

earnest crest
#

yes

#

just the speaker housing

open hound
#

oh gotcha

earnest crest
#

you need an amp head to use with a cab

open hound
#

Ohh

#

so like

#

this thing

earnest crest
#

but a combo amp is both an amp circuit and cab basically

open hound
#

would be paired with that

#

would a setup like that amp head and cabinet be the endgame setup?

earnest crest
#

depends on what your endgame is

#

i still have combos and i enjoy them for recording

#

they can be mic'd up for stage too

#

heads and cabs can also be mic'd up but their output would generally be more

open hound
#

like concerts etc

earnest crest
#

i suppose so yes, but not just for that. They just generally have more output

#

you might need to make sure the output of the head and the power rating of the cab are compatible though

#

combos are everything in one, heads and cabs are interchangable

#

i recommend just a combo

open hound
#

are virtual amps bad?

earnest crest
#

nope

#

definitely not bad

#

i dont have experience using them though

open hound
#

i'm just wondering because i spent around 250 dollars on the minifuse 2 audio interface and i'm using this free guitar amp 7 and honestly it's not that bad. it also comes with a lot of different presets and components. i also just realized that i could just plug my speaker into it too so essentially it acts as a real amp.

#

i think it's great to be honest, yes i could ge better tones etc once i figure out the components and also there are the limitations of the virutal amp but i think it's enough for me

#

i'd have to see if there's a big difference in it to justify me spenidng $300 for an amp

#

or i could sell both my amps and buy one good one

long sinew
#

atleast the one i went to was big

open hound
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

i really like the uh pacifica shape, would it be a waste of money to just buy another pacifica?

#

i'm looking at the Yamaha PACIFICA611VFM

zinc warren
#

looks great really comfortable to play really nice sound also really nice parts and features that you don’t see on many guitars at that price

#

I heard the pacifica 611 is also a really good instrument
