I recently picked up a beutiful Schecter C1-Elite for a super low price. Its packin' abalone binding on body, neck, and headstock, Grover tuners and 2 Duncan Designed humbuckers. This guitar also has a coil tap, which I believe is not mentioned, but makes for a good clean sound when splitting the bridge pick-up.

Are you in a band or do you just play alone?

And my Jackson KVX-10 King (Flying) "V".
I'll be recording stuff soon, real soon, and I'll have it up for download for you guys if you're interested. I've been playing for about two and a half years now, but I'll admit bass is moreso where my talent lies.

There's no substitution for the thrill of completing and performing a song with a band, but I believe my best work is the stuff I've been writing for the last few months. Again, I'm sure some of you guys who are interested will be hearing it relatively soon.

Which leads to my question. Say I wanted to buy a guitar, amp, and anything else I need to rock the fuck out. Say I wanted to spend somewhere in the $600-800 range for everything. I know I'm not going to get a fantastic guitar for that kinda cash so save me the elitist crap and give me some suggestions. However, if that's not enough money to get a decent guitar/amp/etc then tell me so I can save my money and spend it on a millipede upright instead.
If it's not already clear, I'm a guitar n00b.

A "combo" amp is merely an amp with an on board settings unit.
For my bass amp I have a Hartke 4x10XL and a 5000 head. The head acts as the settings unit and processes the sound I want. With a combo amp, you get that stuff actually in the amp.

My current rig is that same RGX420S (stupidly not a Drop 6 version), and a Roland Cube-30 amp. Me and a couple friends started a band not too long ago and are planning on recording a few songs soon.
Cx, from what I've heard, it's not so much the guitar as the amp that makes it sound good. Also, it's a lot easier to make a soft guitar sound hard than trying to make a hard guitar sound soft. That being said, try to get a cheaper guitar (not too cheap though), and a nice amp. My Roland cost me about $330 CAD, and is about as loud as my friends Fender amp (which is about double my wattage), and has nice effects.
Phew...I'm done.

As for my stringed beast Im carring a clasic Vox four string. It is so old it doesn't even have a modle type. It was built for that clasic british rock sound. Alass it is useless because im a drummer and have other shit to do than learn base.

not to be an asshole, but your wrong. It is the pick-ups in a guitar that gives the quality sound. an expensive amp will just amplify your sound louder and just a little more clear. that is if you buy a bran new amp. I know this because my dad is formerly a studio guitar player, and im a future music major.Cx, from what I've heard, it's not so much the guitar as the amp that makes it sound good.

If you wanna learn guitar, DO NOT BUY A BEGINNER PACK. Those beginner/starter guitar and amp combos are not the way to go. they are a hure waste of money. you spend like $199 on the set and when you either loose interst or wanna get a more decent guitar, the rig will be worthless. the day after you buy one of those rigs, they are already only worth like 30 bucks.
The wisest advise I've ever gotten was "buy the most expensive that you can afford."
but any hoo, you're in luck now a days. Guitars are gettin cheap as hell.
since you dont know much about guitars, I'm guessing that you arent going to do any giging any time soon. so you will only need an amp that powers though about 10 to 15 watts.
you will need a guitar in the $300 price range. those are decent beginner guitars.
I would stay away from 'Ibanez' guitars though, as they depreciate faster then other guitars tend to.
Fender, and Gibson guitars almost have no depreciation, so If you can afford a Gibson or an American made Fender, go for those. if you pay $800 for it, you will generally always be able to get $800 for it, should you decide to get rid of it.
I would also buy used gear. 'Playability' is far more important than being in 'Mint' condition. Usually minior scratches, dings and pick rash do not affect the value of an instrument.
I would also buy used gear because of the depreciation value of guitars. In most cases the second that you own a new guitar, It becomes 'Used'. So in many cases there are guitars on ebay that are 'bedroom guitars', you can peck off one of these for all of the discount and none of the wear and tear on the instrument.
ohh, by the way, to get back on topic:
'87 American made Squier II strat. (thats right, AMERICAN made)
'00 Ibanez s470 (my bedroom guitar, bought it new 600, now its worth shit)
PRS Tremonti SE ( SE, made in Korea, abolutely great guitar, Koreans are gettin good)
Squier Bullet (my first guitar, now its basicly a wall ornament)

I'm a bass player too. I'm self-taught for the most part, but my friend taught me the very basics, years ago when I wasn't even interested. I'm thinking of getting a Yamaha bass for my birthday or something, I haven't decided on a brand yet. Anyone have any suggestions? I want something under 300$, and I don't care if it doesn't have the radest paintjob or anything... I just want it to sound good! Right now, I play a not-well-known brand bass guitar... couldn't remember for the life of me.QUOTE (DoubleLnL @ Jun 3 2004, 12:15 AM)

About purchasing a cheap bass. I don't know what to tell you. I bought a really cheap bass (Squier P-Bass) back when I first got into bass two and a half years ago, but within six months I had a $1,250 Deluxe American Fender Jazz Bass with translucent cherry apple red paintjob (so you can see the woodgrain), a discontinued off white creme pickgaurd, and passive pickups.
You might just be better playing on what you have, and waiting until you have enough money for something really nice.
