So I went to the local guitar store with my friend today to try out some guitars, he was starting a new band and was trying some Tokias. Anyway while I was looking round I saw the Ibanez mtm2, I tired it out and thought it was pretty good value for money and with a fixed bridge there was not much to go wrong. Then the GAS kicks in as I leave the store I'm thinking I'd really like to buy that guitar and buy the time I was in the car I was thinking about new amps effects etc.
So my question is do you think that may i should;
a) resist the temptation of buying new stuff
b) buy something small (weeping demon)
c) buy the guitar
I'm trying to avoid spending money at the moment but thats not to say I can't afford to. Please help cure my GAS!
Ha good advice, unfortunately for a 17 year old with a part time job in a supermarket that isn't really possible. I'll probably get a wah wah pedal in a few weeks after im done with my exams.
about the weeping daemon, maybe you can find something better in the same price range, it's cool all the settings available on it, but i think the sound isn't that good (only my opinion)
+1 I have one and I'm not that impressed by it. I am, however, much more impressed with my Teese RMC3 wah. Granted, it's alot more, but it sounds great.
I think you'd be better going with a Vox or a Crybaby for a wah.
I've read a lot of good stuff about the weeping demon, the main reason I like it is because it does the switchless thing and sounds good, IMHO morley's go "weh weh" rather than "wah wah".
The other thing that I like about the WD is you can dial in the sound you want it to be like. It has Ibanez's tone-loc knobs. You can use the pedal like a traditional wah, stepping on the on/off switch and do the wah that way, or you can switch it to where it the wah pedal will spring down (in it's off position) and only comes one when you use the wah pedal. That way you don't have to constantly turn it off and on to use it.
Yeah but there's always temptation I'm just a bit weak. Luckily exams are keeping from buying new guitar stuff, spending money in general and going outside :?
Jim, that is the best advice I have heard in a long time =) If you do end up buying the MTM2 though, please PM me some pics. I have a MTM1 and was toying around with picking up a 2 for a matching set ;p
Also, don't buy stuff if you really don't have the cash for it. There's nothing worse than going into debt just to buy a new guitar. If you have the cash, be wise and don't spend all your money at one time. If you feel that you have to have it all at the same time, shop for some stuff new (like the guitar) and buy the other stuff used (pedals and maybe a small amp). That way, you can save some money and still have enough equipment to play. FYI, Fender has the G-DEC Junior for $179.00 USD, so that might be an amp looking into for a first amp.
this is what i think - you have exams soon, thus you need to study! If you buy a new piece of gear, you're gonna want to play with it and not actually study and s u ck at the tests. don't. wait until you're done. i waited until the school year was over before buying my gt-8
I might pick up a MTM2, just to avoid the whole dodgy trem thing
