I've been wanting some new gear for a while, and I'm thinking about getting a new guitar and a new amp. I have three Schecters Hellraiser Solo-6, Hellraiser C-1FR, and a Hellraiser C-7. I didn't intend to buy three hellraisers but it just so happened that the best deals that I could get on guitars were on Hellraisers. I think I paid less than 500 for each of them, so I got a good deal on all of them. Right now I want a guitar with passive pickups, though. I like EMGs it's just that I'm in the mood for something else. I was looking at maybe getting an EVH Wolfgang. The pickups on those things have a wide variety of tones just by playing with the volume and tone knobs. Good enough cleans and lots of great distorted tones. The necks on those things are also divine. I was also considering an Epiphone Custom Les Paul and putting BKs in it. Leaning towards the Wolfgang, though, like the neck a little more.
As far as the amp goes, I was looking at getting a 5150iii mini stack. I don't gig a whole lot I mainly just like jamming and occasionally recording something, and the 5150iii is incredible. It's kind of expensive, but it is a great amp. Probably the 50w head and a 1x12 cab, I'm concerned about volume and it being too loud to practice at home with. I have a Line 6 75w Spider IV right now and I was looking for something a little nicer. I realize that I'll have to buy a few pedals if I get a new amp and that's another expense. I also saw a 5150i witha Soldano mod on Craigslist for like six or seven hundred, also considering that too and it's been moded to a 60w head. However, I still kinda want some nicer gear. Music's a money pit, what can I say.
Anyways, your thoughts? Suggestions?
