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 ?
