after 6 years of carrying my own stuff, loading it in my own car, setting it up on stage, and then putting it all back in my car, carrying in the house, and then down stairs... I really will appreciate the road crew and promise to never say "Stupid roadie!"

great attitude my friend ....if only every musician thought that way.

you mean spend the bucks on the Marshall JVM ?

nah ....i have plenty of FINE sounding amplifiers already.

i dont NEED the JVM ....i just WANT one.

i would buy the B-52 AT100 AND the Laney GH100TI before i would spend the same money on one JVM.

the kick butt Marshall sound is already covered by my Marshall rack

no i was referring to...if your going to do something right like buying the amplifier that you really want....then spend the money....i spent 2300 dollars on my triple rec and a custom made shock proof road case....best money ever spent...that amp rules...no problems been 5 years now

0hhh......0k

that is so true......buy what you really like, and dont "settle" for the one thats "ok" but cheap.

that is good advice my friend....not JUST for amp/guitar buying , but for life in general too.

I had the happiest moment of my life last night (exaggerating obviously), when our new Road Manager asked me for a complete gear list so he can arrange for crew to carry everything. I happily wrote down my 110 lb 4x12 and my 60 lb amp.

Then he went into what kind of cargo van we're getting.

My arms and car are already happier.

Ouch, I feel ya! I'm incredibly happy my 4x12 only weighs in at 85lbs including castors... it's quite a managable 1 person lift. Amp kicks in at ~55lbs. Of course, I'm looking at doubling them up, more fool me!

I remember back in the day (I played bass for a moderately big local band ~10 years ago) where I was lugging around 2 Peavey 115BW cabs (80lbs each), 2 Peavey 410TVX cabs (100lbs each), 2 Marshall 8412 cabs (70lbs each) and three heads (combined about 100lbs). My poor car must have loved me when I downsized after the band broke up!

Re: Who's the best amp make out there?

It's like buying a car. There are lots of good models. Some people like vans, some like trucks, some like sedans. There is no best car, but there might be a best car for you. You decide.

I remember plugging my Les Paul into a neighbor's 1 watt beginner amp and thing "holy cow this sounds better than my [big name] amp, I want one of these".

The reason I voted for Mesa/Boogie is :-

I have played drums for many good guitarists and in my opinion
the tone and sound quality of the Mesa/Boogie amps compared to
the others gives me more valuable feedback during loud live performances.
I appreciate that that could be due to the way the amps are set up but
that is my observation.

The Funkussionist

I use a Marshall Super Lead 100 with 1 412 paired up with a Fender Vibrolux Reverb...I love my tone.
