Finally got my LUKE!!

[Victor]

Hey guys now i have finally got my Luke!

I got a black/ no matching headstock / no piezo.. i didnt want the piezo.. and the color didnt actually matter.. first i wanted a carbon blue pearl/w matching headstock but then I would have to wait another 2 months.. so i decided to go for the black one..
And its GREAT.. !! It plays really well..

As soon as i got the time i will change the strings to 010s and put another spring to the trem.. Im more that satisfied

Now im looking for a amp that will fit my Luke... I'm playing on a Peavey bandit right now ( wich its not mine) and i'm wondering if you guys have any amp suggestions ?

I aint got mouch money left so im looking for an alround amp in the same price range as the peavey bandit 112.

I like the distortion in the bandit but i need a really good clean sound to since the luke sounds amazing when its clean.

So guys what amp do you guys suggest that i should buy?
And why?

Victor

Congrats on the new Luke, Victor! There's nothing like the smell of a new guitar in the morning, eh?

re: your amp Q ~ I don't know what a Bandit runs, but if I were looking for a good sounding amp on the cheap the first place I'd run would be the Peavey Classic series - they're just great sounding amps for the money. I've owned both the Classic 30 and the Delta Blues, and I would have held onto them if the floor space wasn't eaten up by my vintage Fenders (which cost a damn sight more, I might add!). Check 'em out and hear if they're what you're looking for...

alright Victor!!


Glad to hear you're enjoying your new Luke.

I'm playing mine through a Line 6 flextone II 1X12 at home. I use the blackface amp setting for clean tones and the Modern Hi gain setting (soldano) for oversaturated distortion tones. You can adjust tone knobs to taste. Used ones around $300

I use a 4X12 flextone II for the band stuff, but same settings.

I also have a Line 6 pod 2.0 (same deal) to make traveling, jamming, and recording possible without lugging gear. New around $200.

Lotsa good luck and long hours with the new guitar.

Congrats on the LUKE Victor...thinking of pickin one up myself.

As for the amp...I like the Marshall MG Series, Peaveys and Fender, Line 6 is also good too.

 

[Warg Master]

Yeah, find a Peavey classic series...the bandit wont cut it

 

[Victor]

Ok i will check out the Peavey Classic then..

Are any of the Laney amps good? I've talked to a dealer who said the he could give me good prices on the Laneys.. but i dont have mouch experience in them..

Does anyone know if theyre good.. if so which model?

Tech 21 makes a good practice amp, solid sound and really practicle. I am not sure what they run anymore, but mine was about $300, so that might be too much.

Avoid the Gorilla. I had one of those (it cost me #40) and I used to bring it to rehersal and use it as punishment for anyone that forgot their music/amp/to practice/etc... You should hear how crappy a keyboard sounds through it.

You're all playing great guitars but the amps mentioned aren't worth to me to play a Musicman on, except the Peavey Classic (have owned one, for practicing only). Save some extra money to buy a great tube amp. I've got two Koch Powertone's with two 4x12" cabs. I know, in USA Koch is expensive. But it's worth the money. I think the same distributor that does Eden bassamps does import Koch.

sweet! Koch on its way to me.

Hej Victor -

Try the Laney VC30 if you like the sound of Vox AC30s....it's known as a pretty good clone for less than half the price of the "real deal", it's all-tube and class
"A", and I believe it also has a few modern features in the mix too. I tried one out a few years ago and was very impressed (unfortunately, Laney isn't as widely distributed in the US as they used to be since they parted ways with Ibanez).

They also made a more modern style 4 channel amp called the ChromeOZone which is supposedly pretty amazing, however, I've never heard, seen, or played thru one....not sure if it's still made or not, though.
