I need advice on buying a guitar amp. I want to begin playing with people. Thoughts, Suggestions?

The brand of the amp doesn't matter as much as the size %26amp; wattage.





If you want to play with others, including possibly a drummer, you'll need at the MINIMUM a 30 watt amp. You also have a choice between ';solid state'; (cheaper, durable, good sound), and ';tube'; amp (much more expensive, require a bit of maintenance, GREAT sound) Tube amps are also typically louder than solid state amps....if you compare the same wattage.


You must also consider a ';stack'; or ';half stack'; vs. a ';combo'; amp. A stack is not necessary in most cases.....the right combo will suffice, and will be MUCH easier to transport.....with that said, I'll talk a little more about combo amps.


Another thing to consider is the speakers.......and amp and it's power is only as good as the speakers. I would suggest finding a combo amp with 2 - 10'; speakers or 2 - 12'; speakers. There are amps out there that do perfectly fine with 1 - 12'; speaker, but 2 is my personal preference.


Finally, the sound that you want is most likely going to determine what brand you end up getting.....try out some different ones (with your own guitar) and see what sounds best to you.I need advice on buying a guitar amp. I want to begin playing with people. Thoughts, Suggestions?
Do not feel you need a ';mega-watt'; amp to play in a band. Unless you are playing large halls or using the amp as your only source of amplification shoot for 40-60 watt amps. Peavey, Marshall, Fender, etc are all good quality. Look for specific features but most of all play through them. Picking an amp is like choosing a guitar, it has to feel good to you no matter what anyone else says. Of course, price will play a part also.

you should get a crank amp even though they are expensive they are loud and hard to break

Don't you hate it when older people are always trying to give you advice?

I seem to have more answers than questions this morning, fire away, I'll give it my best shot.Don't you hate it when older people are always trying to give you advice?
Will sanctity ever conquer vile?Don't you hate it when older people are always trying to give you advice?
Yes.


I also don't like being called a kid, because I'm not. I know what is right for me and I've only made right decisions in my life. I appreciate what they're trying to tell me, but older people are not always right.
Yeah,





Like the time I asked dad could I go learn electronics.





Dad said not to worry about it cos electronics are a fad, and in a few years time you won't see any electronics around.





Duh !





.
no..i have always looked to older mentors for advice...
That would be just ma luck.


You are on a roll %26amp; I haven't heard you once say ';listen sonny';





hahahaha! well you hadn't before I answered, looks like you have now. ';Sonny'; tisk, tisk, tisk.





You do what you want old dear...
i think its funny when they think they know exactly what you're thinking and shoving it in your face


i've decided not to listen to them anymore. i wish i'd listened to myself
You mean to tell me there's older people? I babysat for Joe and Mary. Kid was a brat, try to give him a bath and he just walks on the water.
If a person could sort through the advice with slight alterations.Being times have change some of the advice can be proven to be beneficial.
yes yes yes





They must learn that advice when it is wanted is advice.


When it is not wanted it is interference.
I used too. Now I am that older person.


The older I get, the younger everyone else seems.
Not at all. You can learn a lot from older people!
Yes and whatever advice they give me I do the opposite in front of them just to irrate them.
yes and no... I love your advice..
not really hate, i can find humor on those obsolete advicex they give. its their way of showing their love and care so i would be glad.
Not always... I mean if I fell what they say is bs then I hate it but if I feel what they say could help me then I listen :)
No, cause they've actually lived it, you might learn something.
They've been on the earth longer then us and have more experience of life. Don't take the advice if you don't want to..=)
Yes, but we must always respect them. This is what i can only say.
no they are usually right
sometimes
Some times it can be helpful.Take on board what suits you %26amp; dismiss the rest.
It is the voice of experience talking, listen and learn or smile and ignore it.
yes. i also hate when my grandma's friends are like, 'so, do you have a boyfriend? why not?'
Yeah i hate it when there talking bull.. its annoying.. : - )
should i get out of my p.j and get dressws
Yes
No 'older' people have paid their dues, experienced more, and have much to teach us.
Kind of.
Hee, hee, it's the younger ones that try to give me advice. LMAO
yeah its like they think their smarter than us......pssh where did they get that idea?
honestly,yup.


but i`m afraid i`ll do it when i going to be old as they are.

Do you feel it's Fair 4 people on Yahoo Answers 2 get free advice from U, then let the question go unresolved?

Just wondering whether or not there were others out there as frustrated about this as I am. Especially the questions that go ';Undecided';/Invoting after a few days---You know!-- those that you felt you put a lot (sometimes even your life passion) into them, and anyone with good sense could tell that you should I've gotten the ';Best Answer'; for it? I don't know... Maybe I'm just being too possessive about my answers--(I mean my ';Babies';---No----LOL). What do you think??


Does it frustrate you too?Do you feel it's Fair 4 people on Yahoo Answers 2 get free advice from U, then let the question go unresolved?
I don't think it is (pick one) polite, considerate, being a responsible user.


I also think that MOST questions seeking advice are violations of the site's rules. So is replying to answers to your questions within those questions, and, as Yahoo puts it, ';calling another user out by name';.





Fair does not, unfortuantely, have a lot to do with anything in the world. There are lots of things that are not fair.Do you feel it's Fair 4 people on Yahoo Answers 2 get free advice from U, then let the question go unresolved?
NO - it does not frustrate me. I simply go in and vote for my answer. It's perfectly legal to do that here. And if someone can't take the time to vote for best answer then they get the answer they deserve - MINE.
It gets very frustrating when the question lies fallow for two years, as the asker did not care to choose a best answer and no one cares to vote on the answers
Cry about it, woman.
i think stephen k. deserves all the best answers!!!
keep out ..hehe lol

I think I want to see other people, but isn't sure..i need advice! please help?

In july my bf and I broke up, I was so hurt by him because he changed so much and did not understand why. Said he loved me but wasnt inlove with me and said he was confused. I tried so hard to get him back, while he was doing his own thing, I was so hurt and we live together still! we separated bedrooms and all. But i did get him back a month later.. after I let go and let him do his thing. Now we are back together, I think he just doesnt want to lose me all the way because I asked him if he wanted to see other people and it seems like thats when he saw that he wanted to be with me, maybe because he didn't want me to date other people. Now, we have been so good, we are understanding eachother a little more. We fought alot in the beginning, thats what lead to the break up. But then, I started talking to other guys because I think because he did it behind my back and flirted with other women (I found out through his myspace). Now I'm the one whos confused, I think I want to see other people but something is holding me back. The lease will end on dec and we are going separate ways with the apartment but still probably date.I have a 2 years old and he is so good with her, and my daughter loves her. And I met this other guy who wants to take me out this friday, I want to see whats other got to offer and Im feeling guilty. Like I said I want to see other people but I'm confuse how I really feel towards him. A part of me wants to tell him i want to see other people, but a part of me says Go out with this guy on friday and see if you could still make connection with other guys, then that means I dont want to be commited for now and just see my options. I think I am setteling. Pls help..what do u guys think is best for me to do?I think I want to see other people, but isn't sure..i need advice! please help?
Yes. I think it would be for the best to just move on and find someone else to be in a relationship with. I hope that everything works out for the best.

Need advice about my son's mental health.He is shy in new environment and people.?

My 4 year old son is quite healthy physically and smart ,very thoughtful comparing to other kids of his age or above.He speaks very well both in English and my mother tongue.He can read,write all English Alphabets,his name and many more.At home,he talks very thoughtful and intelligent.Even at his age,he talks so thoughtful that we parent sometimes get suprised.He plays most of the games on computer himself...But,he is shy when he meets new people.He wants to play with much bigger people, for example,say graduate students.He appears to speak nothing to new people ,though he enjoys playing with them.He says'I wanna go someone's home'.But when I take him to their home,he speaks to no one,rather he starts to play with them,not using even a word .It seems he thinks more than he talks.His such behavior worries us(parent).Need advice about my son's mental health.He is shy in new environment and people.?
You may have a budding genius or child prodigy on you hands. He is remarkable for his age. You might want to get him tested for confirmation of this. Shyness in a child of this age is not unusual...but his intellect is very high above the norm. You must be very proud of him. It is extremely important that you keep him well grounded emotionally...which I believe is already taking place through your concern and love for him. I suspect he gets bored very easily. Children of high intellect seldom display an interest in the same things of other children his age. He sounds very special to me. You need to learn how you can best develop his potential.Need advice about my son's mental health.He is shy in new environment and people.?
Well I'd say maybe he needs more contact with kids rather with the computer or video games. Find out what he likes doing, and take him to a class with kids his age. Swimming, painting, there are lots of stuff out there !


And maybe you can ';bargain him'; Like if you make a friend, I'll buy both of you an ice crem





What do you think??

I'm feeling really upset about the people around me and need some good advice.?

Alot of the people that I used to be ok with all of the sudden started acting different around me. For instance, my counselor uses favoritism towards other students, will not help me with my college applications, and gives me dirty looks, like she look down on me. Same with my favorite teacher, she starts looking at me like im ****(excuse my language), doesnt care, and tends to other students that she doesnt even know,. And my friends started acting shady, my good guy friend is always comparing himself to me and acting like he doesnt want to talk, or be around me anymore, and along with my other friends, they seem not to care anymore. How do I cope with this? i really dont know wat 2 do...... Its like everybody has turned their backs, what should I do?I'm feeling really upset about the people around me and need some good advice.?
Concentrate on your education and show them just how successful you can really be.

I'm kind of bitter about other people being happy...please give me some advice!!??

Whenever my sister comes up to me, and starts to talk about her new boyfriend, I get kind of irritated. First, it's probably because she talks about annoying little things, that I could care less about, and on top of that, I'm stressed w/so much work to do in my life, that its hard to sit there and fake smile about her stories to her! SEE THAT'S THE PROBLEM..that in itself shows how bitter I am! I should listen, as her sister, and be happy for her right? I CAN'T.





I recently (about 1.5 months ago), ended this ';dating'; relationship I had w/a guy (we were more like good friends)..and it was really short. he hurt me a lot..but that's a long story. Anyways, I've just been very lonely since then, because I don't have any guy friends..and I just lost my only guy. I've been lonely for a while. Now I just drown myself in work, I find myself having to remind myself to be happy


I am seeing a psychologist..but my question is, am I really that mean? She hasn't complained yet, but I feel it comingI'm kind of bitter about other people being happy...please give me some advice!!??
well everyone naturally feels bitter towards others happiness when you arn't happy, or as happy as that person. everyone wants to feel as though they are a little what the word ';higher'; to say the least. so don't feel bad. sometimes im a littel bitter when others have something i want (especially my little sister). and i see other peolpe do that all the time. it sounds as though your stressed so its easy to be bitter. you dont sound mean, if you are trying to put on a happy face for your sister. you probably dont want to, but its probably best to talk to your mom and sister one on one. hope i helped at least a little. i hope things owrk out for you to. :-]I'm kind of bitter about other people being happy...please give me some advice!!??
No you aren't mean. You may be bitter because your sister (sorry i have to say this) has a bf and you don't.Try to only do stuff you enjoy
