guidothepimmp Haha, all of two episodes of "By not busting the bank" ? Next is too try and do the same exercise at Raru/Bothners...Which I know already won't even be close when Raru has the CV Strat listed ar R8.8k...

      Tele-wise I’ve got my eye on the £339 CV Esquire that’s on back order.

      Basses.. Bass VI makes me curious - £379. Probably spend the rest on some effects- preamp and a bass friendly big muff (Russian, bass big muff or some other variant)

      They've done a few GBP500 artist specific rigs, but they just did a 'ultimate' GBP500 rig

      RodneyVikens In SA it will probably be more like GBP1500.

      Well, I did say I was gonna dig around on Raru sometime for a comparison...

      RodneyVikens YOu can give them a stick and they will make it sound awesome.

      Pretty much.,.though my favourite Anderton's guitar demonstrator isn't Rabea (Ariel Posen is great too, but not him)...it's Joss with his super funky 5sec take on something that isn't Master of Puppets (but...)

          V8 i reckon we could get away with a " best rig for 5000ronts on samis" type thing. Granted it is all second hand but you could piece together a decent rig

              guidothepimmp I swear I was just doing that...but I was using a budget of R9500 for new and 2nd hand ?

              R5k - good challenge...accepted!

                I'll play:

                Blues rig for R5k

                Guitar: Washburn Lyon start with Fender MIJ pickups

                Amp: Epiphone 5W valve amp 12AX7 into EL84

                Pedal: Tubescreamer mini

                Total R4999.

                Holy poop, slim picking atm for electric guitars and amp at a decent price...unless it's acoustic or left handed it seems!

                A trawl of gumtree and samis wasn't all that inspiring today, I've clearly lost my touch.

                Amp: Laney Cub 10 @ R2500 - Not my first choice (Katana or Cub12) but it's what I could find. There's also a Marshall Code 25 at R2500, but I'd go for the valves all else being equal.
                Guitar: Aria Pro II Fullterton @R1500 - If it's as described, these are good - a good un' is comparable to a CV strat.

                Leaves me R1k for pedal(s), which isn't quite enough ? because I can't find the two below secondhand!

                R250 over budget I'd have a...New Zoom G1on @ R1250 -
                Though I'd stretch R500 over and get the newer version Zoom G1 Four @ R1500

                Gives me tuner, 40s looper, drum machine (synced to looper!), and all the effects I'd need.

                Found a couple of combinations. Struggling with pics in the site though

                1st up. Epiphone LP jr at R1200 on gumtree. To go with that is a Marshall haze 40 at R3600 on samis. Rounds off at R4800

                2nd up is the same Epi LPjr. A digitech RP7 valve at R1800 on Revolution. And a Roland cube 15 at R1350. Rounds off at R4350

                3rd is an epi LP special II at R2450 coupled to a Roland cube 30 at R2500. Also on samis

                The second hand market here is mad cheap. I regularly keep an eye on market place...ppl basically,
                give stuff away.

                  ScottyDogg yeh i have seen the prices at the tonevault. Wow.. the Friedmans are eyewateringly pricey. Thought of going there for shartsandgiggles.. but its by appointment only

                    guidothepimmp If I win the powerball on Friday, I'll send you pics while I'm there to buy all their stock ?
