__________________

But why sell everything. Couldn't you just sell some of it ? Selling all of it would mean you won't be able to play guitar.

__________________

Thats horrible man..

what are you asking?

__________________

thing is, i owe a lot of money for the gear i havent payed for yet (or partly), my dad doesnt have work, and they cut down his money he gets from the gouverment (uitkering) so were on a rilli low budget and the last thing I need is owing peeps money.

__________________

like the prices u mean??
all in euros

guitar for bout 1800
engl for 700/800 (need some new tubes cuz stil has the originals)
cab for 300
poweramp for 170
intellifex 200 (probaly sold this already)

im not even sure if im asking to much and shit, its just i dont want to lose too much money on it either

__________________

wow, that sucks that your dad is on an 'uitkering', I study that stuff with laws and shit and that must be a pain in the ass, I'm sorry man.

I'de love another Savage, haha. but I don't have the money, so that won't work... good luck selling it man, try marktplaats and gitaarmarkt.nl

yeah it rilli sucks.

im gonna try and kill balkenende, then sell his toupe on ebay should make me rich

anyway, i just sold my intellifex for 220

im just kinda worried bout selling my axe, cuz its kinda expensive, even for 2nd hand
awell ill see how it ends.

__________________

there has to be another way man... why can't you and or your dad get jobs?
i mean, i know it's not "that easy"... but it definately seems like a better solution.

i've been in some debt... but i'll sell my clothes, cd's, even my bed, before the parker splawn, or engl hit ebay.

if i were in europe i'd totally hit that savage up. but i'm not

__________________

thing is my dad is like 57 so noone wants to hire him, cuz they can get some cheap just off school boys to do work for em. i dont like the idea of seling all my stuff, but since i didnt pay my guitar for the half yet, or my engl, i dont see an other option if im lucky ill save some money after selling everything to buy a other cheap guitar and maybe a little amp.

EDIt: i have a job myself, but its just enough to pay for my guitar and engl amp, and since i dont have any spare i cant help my dad out on the food and other more improntant things

I could be intertested in that savage provided you could wait a month and abit to sell it.

__________________

he's over seas bro...

__________________

he could ship it...or are you talking about the money conversion?

__________________

i'm talking about him running european voltage and me running american voltage... plus the cost of shipping for a tube head... and the length of time... customs.... probability the amp could be damaged in transit... ect...

maybe if i had alot of money it'd be worth it to be the only bro in america with a savage 60...

__________________

just checking some other options bro

__________________

i cant rilli wait a month or so
its going to the first that gives me a good price for it.

__________________

My condolences to you ... Selling all of that must be like selling all of your children ... No joke. I really can't imagine having to let go of my all my own equipment ...

so, you have to sell your gear for food? thats sad man... dont you have an old shitty couch or something really worthless you could sell? i mean, i like food but, theres gotta be another way than selling your axe and amp...

__________________

Yeh, cause worthless things sell for alot!

__________________

Sell your shitty shit on e-bay, you can make a killin on there.... no seriously!

__________________

Fuck man, that sucks! I'm sorry to hear that.

whahaha i wish, its not just for food though, just overall living stuff, mainly to support my dad, i dont have a mom anymore sonce 4 yerars so my dad has to make money and do the household and shit. wich is kinda much for the guy, so i have to support in a way. also my guitar hasnt been payed for yet, and my engl aswell, so most of my money is going there.

i wont stop playing for sure, just not on my awesome gear i have now, its probaly gonna end up in a simple combo and a simple guitar

__________________

i would actually buy ure engl off you, but i wonder how much it would cost to send to england and whether it would arrive in one piece? anyways sorry to hear bout all that dude, i m sure you'll find a way of not losing all ure gear

__________________

that cab sounds interesting, but i really can't afford it now

__________________

Thats some bad shit man..

__________________

i have no idea howmuch shipping a head would cost must be quite expensive i guess.

somewhere im thinking of just quiting guitar, im statring to lose my interests, i dont feel like practicing my ass off for 4 years to be able to play some nice shit, i just dont have the patience anymore

__________________

dude dont give up man
and yeah its horrible that you have to sell your gear
but you never know anything could happen.
dont give up something your good at

__________________

i know what u mean, but im not good at guitar, i can play some shit thats pretty hard, but i dont get a kick from it anymore i duno, i cant rilli explain it

__________________

NOOO!!! play through a Squier and a Peavy for fucks sake but dont just give up!

__________________

hmm lol, i dunno
, maybe im just in some period or sumtin

__________________

haha, the bitch is on his period

ehm... just try more challenging stuff or write stuff yourself. I can write pretty badass stuff but I can hardly play really difficult stuff written by other bands, I can't be arsed to learn them plus its not my material, so that doesn't really interest me much...

when I was in my early days I learned a lot by playing other band's stuff and I do still play other's stuff for fun but I hardly learn any new songs, I rather write my own kickass riffs.

I know the feeling. We were strapped for cash right before Christmas years before Bob started playing guitar and I didnt' play anymore. I was going to pawn my Gibson and see if I could get $50 for it to get some presents. My b/f was taking my meager tip money out of the closed piggy bank I'd been saving for Christmastime. The most I'd gotten in one night was about $35 so I knew there was at least that much in there. I opened it and counted $22 in bills and change and sat and cried. I didn't know who to blame or what to do. Something told me not to pawn the guitar though.
My suggestion to you is if you can sell to someone you trust who respects instruments and might possibly keep them til you can buy something back then do that. I'd hold on to the one with the highest value if you can though.
And talk to your creditors. Sometimes you can work something out with them if they were finanaced. It can't hurt to try.
Best of luck to you, too.

yeah good luck dude

As far as loss of interest, that will happen especially if things are tight. It gets distracting for sure. I only opened my cases about once a year just to make sure they were in there for about a 10 year period and wrote maybe a couple poems during that time, too. That will come and go.

But when God closes a door He opens a window. Sometimes it's a fight to get past the curtain, but you may see something brighter in the future. If I'd sold my G' I doubt Bob would have ever been on this forum and we'd missed out on a lot of fun.

Maybe you should teach your dad and gig together. It might relax you both and be fun.

awwwwww damn dude. sorry to hear that! i hope things get better for you

__________________

id love to write my own stuff, but theres no challenge in that for me cuz i dont have a band, i dont even know anyone near my town that likes metal (xept for kut altos that like crap music like slipknot and they even dare to call that brutal)(or those kids that go like WOOAAHur so good, when u play 3 powerchords in a row)

basicaly, i hate playing alone, i want some band or just some guy thats atleast better than me so i have something to work up to, but i dont know anyone so

__________________

lol, my dad plays guitar since i was little, he just plays some blues and jazz, and i want to play stuff like whisper supremacy from cryptopsy. i mean i have a extreme hard taste in music, i either completely hate it or completely love it.

you could travel
but that involves money also so....

I'm asking a couple people I talk to over there from where I mod if they would be interested in any of it. I'll let you know.

thnx mate

i just sold my intellifex for 220e, its a start i guess

__________________

geeze that sucks.

They're both live there. That's why I asked them. One said he didn't want any of it, but the other guy said he'd let his friends know. His bro plays, too, and I talk to him sometimes.
They're all old friends so I'm sure if anything comes up they'll let me know. I left out the one piece you'd sold and included your info you put with prices and other stuff.
And I know they'd go to good homes.

__________________

yea i know how u feel. u dont need others, u could try and write some of ur stuff. with out a band it just gives u more freedom, and creativity. i know what u mean, everyone is crazy for that slipknot crap. i dont even have a bassist anymore, cuz he wants to do gay covers. well i played a little satriani for my school for some 80's day shit, and now im like a god to them. pretty sorry dont u think?

thing with me is, i can get some little parts of riffs, but it bores me to make stuff, i want to have a 2nd guitarist so there like twice the inspiration, and twice the ideas. im just no goos at writing stuff, so i need someone that helps me out in that direction.

UR THE BEST I LOVE U kiss huggs lol
but seriously.. thnx a lot

__________________

yea i see, like a second opionion right? and if u run out theres somone there backing. u know what, if i ever have a band the solos are gonna be duels. but no one around my area is good enough for it. their lost in that emo and other crappy music i very much dislike.duels are fun, i've been in one once, but i wouldnt count it as a duel.

at least with the money from the guitar buy a decent combo amp and a decent guitar...

most that shit can be bought back later in life... but the older you get, the harder it's going to be to learn how to play... trust me.. i've been taking piano lessons the past year... i really should have started when i was 8. i know all the theory and junk... but fuck my ass if i could play for shit.

you don't want to be the only 40 year old on the block looking to start a band with some punk 15 year olds that are on the same skill level.

Why not? Sound like it might be fun. I've played for about 100 years and there's 15 y.o's that play better than me.
I would never be able to get my Gibson now. I couldn't afford a fourth of it now. Be very careful what you get rid of.

I have a friend that had to sell his favorite vintage tube amp and his best friend went and bought it without him knowing it and gave it back to him. He was so happy. You never know what will happen.

k13m-- Hope things work out. I'll keep you posted.

i just got a bid for 1600 for my jackson usa. i was actualy thinking of a minimum of 1800 euros, since i still have to pay bout 1400 for it that i lend

i dunno what seems like a good deal to u guys.

i payed 2750 for it bout 5/6 months ago, i duno if its me but 1600 seems a bit low to me

__________________

XDX ur right.

i dont rilli feel like completely quiting guitar, ill probaly buy a cheap ibanez or fender ofr sumtin, just jam a bit with it untill i get my interests back. my dad has a little fox comba that he doesnt use, and i still have a mt2 so that should be ok.

__________________

i just calculated a bit, and if i sell my axe, ill have just bout enough to pay for my depths (or sumtin) and also just enough for a cheapy guitar, meaning i wont have to sel my cab and engl

__________________

Man,, it must suck to have to sell off al your gear, but at least you can keep one great amp

__________________

yeah thats true, make me feel a lot better

__________________

i guess if you're that desparate... sure there are some little prodigy kids that rock... but not in my neighborhood... all the guys i jam with are pretty much in the same age group/talent level as me.

basically, the older you get, the harder it is to learn things... try to learn a new instrument, or another language when you're like 50... it doesnt come that easy... yet when you're a little kid, you pick up on it quick.

__________________

Good thing you dont have to sell your ENGL.

I've had to part with a PRS before. It sucks. ASS.

But i'd kill people for money before i part with my 530.

i just sold my axe for 1700

so i can pay my depths now
and im looking for a other guitar, maybe an ibanez or sumtin.

suggestions anyone??

__________________

alright man its spelled "Debts" learn it, know it, use it from now on.



as for a guitar i dont really know, def is the ibanez master, maybe ask him what your best bang for your buck would be.

__________________

yeah sry, im no english dude, atleast my english spellign suck, i talk like a pro (according to some icelandic peeps ) lol

__________________

Dam that is a real let down. I do not even want to imagine myself selling my stuff so I wont be able to play guitar. That'll be my worst nightmare. Best of luck to you.

thnx man

luckily i can keep my engl, that would have been my biggest loss, i dont rilli care bout selling the guitar, plenty guitars in the world

__________________

just check out pawn shops and shit... see if you can't score something good for dirt cheap...

__________________

im not sure if there are any pawn shops in holland?? not that ive ever heard of anyway.

but my dad's a close friend to a guitarstore owner, so i can get new guitars wich some nice discount.

__________________

Good luck with everything dude, sucks to see people in difficulty, at least you're keeping your head up Keep the Savage 60 too, it'll be worth a lot more in the future, then sell it and make a fat load of money

__________________

whahah, im not selling it man maybe when i get 10000 euros for it

__________________

RG370DX?

that's like $360 max brand new, and if you can get a discount...

im looking at a RG1570 prestige. i believe their new bout 850, so i might be able to get it for 600 or so. or maybe a RG2550e prestige.

not sure yet

__________________

well, those are pretty nice/expensive guitars for a broke ass to be looking into.

__________________

yeah i know, but i can get a discount, and i still have some other stuff i just sold, so i might JUST have enough. if not

__________________

I'm in money trouble now, but since i already had to deal with the selling of guitar stuff, and all my stuff is self-funded, it aint goin' nowheres.

TOUCH IT AND DIE ASSHOLE!
