...............

I never expected that................

I'll stop. And answer your question.

If you want an ESP, I would say a really good Viper. Sadly, I've not had the pleasure of playing one, but a lot of good metalcore bands (Atreyu used to) use them. I don't know about heads though, I only ever had combo amps, I'm pretty low on cash.

You said sorry. Wow. I'll stop bugging you.

dude, if you have that money... you could get a way nice setup...

my favorite esp's are the horizons....

$800 for a 4x12... new you could probably get a mesa, marshall or something else nice like that... or if it's used you can get even cheaper than that.

for a head, $1,200 will go prety far on the used market... but if you want something new, i'd look into peavey tube tops like the xxx,5150, 5150 II, and jsx... maybe a mesa f-series or a marshall jcm of some sort....

1500 to $1700 for a guitar = DV8

a quad box at around $800
and a head for around $1200 = Mesas


Wow, that would kick so much ass I will never have either.

He probably doesn't have 2+ grand to spend on gear, he just wanted to start some conversation.

Used to? They still do...

Any model number 400 and up should please you.
