Green Day-inspired Punk Rocker wants to ROCK!

Cables and picks do. A decent cable can cost you about 20 bucks depending on the length. Considering the fact that you're going to be playing at home, i doubt you'd want something that's going to get tangled up in knots and breed spiders.

For picks, i use .73 or .88. I took a really long time to find a pick that i really liked. I remember having more than 50 different picks made from different materials and thinkness. Experiment and find one that you like.

to you, and other non tone purists, tone degradation is definitely not an issue, u guys probably cant hear the difference between that 8bucks cable and a 100plus evidence audio cable.

so what u should be looking out for is reliability.

and hahah... before anyone asks, dont believe what planet waves say abt lifetime warranty. they suck!! hahah i know so many ppl, myself, my brother, and lots of others who have their planet wave cables shit out on them.

omg. i thought i was the only one whose planet waves cables keep getting spoilt. each time i have to cut it shorter to repair it, in the end i just threw it away lol

i love the custom made yellow colour cable that beez made himself

ASSEMBLED. and made are different. If I'm not wrong its canare cable with amphenol plugs...

and for the record, bryan, thats a dudette you're talking to.

gave up on planetwaves last last year. haha. I'm now using my own klotz lagrange that I rolled. Moving up to evidence Lyric HG soon.

pickwise, I have.... dang. who nows. hundreds of them I'm guessing. All over the place. pencilcase/drawers/pants pockets/bags/wallets. I've settled on the niteglo V picks(essential on stage!) or the medium pointeds that i use when im playing more lead. If I'm alternating between both, I'll use a dava control pick. Awesome stuff.

www.letmegooglethatforyou.com answers alot of questions. It really isnt that hard to google, that just makes it easier.

haha i use the same picks as you james, but when i use them, my picking hand gets tired faster, compared to other picks, do you face the same problem or is it just me?

 

[j_m_s]

which ones? haha play more! stamina.

 

[LadyInTears]

the funny thing is that i can play long long with normal picks, but with a v pick fatigue comes damn fast man! haha

Lol,okay,this might be a really old thread...but just to add my 2cents:

I'd recommend a Squier Standard Strat,maybe the one from Swee Lee,but change the pickups for let's say...a Duncan JB?Amps,well,just get a Roland 30x,or 20x.And then after that,like what everyone else said in the first few pages of this thread,get the band EQ and settings and stuff from the Internet.
