Or this, which the internet says is 830 NZD and shipping is free if you go for the buy it now price. I've never played the soapbars, but they look and sound great from those videos.


Obviously you want to try before you buy though, so the Soapbar could be the best option since its instore there.

Yeah, I might try the Soapbar instore, and you know, maybe put a deposit on it.

800 isn't that much... but I'd still have to buy an decent amp.

You can get a 5 watt tube amp (perfect for practicing) for like 150-200$, or you can get a decent 10 watt solid state amp for about the same price.

These are about 100-200$ tops, I use one for bedroom practice, although they really are just for bedroom practice and not much else. They still offer a good range and solid EQ for a tiny practice amp though. Or you might want to get a modeling amp (great for beginners, offers a massive range of digital effects for a good price) although most more advanced guitarist will be against that idea.

I'd recommend spending about 300$ on an amp if you can, that way you won't want to replace it after a week. Go for quality, not for size, though.

I always buy quality... well my Takamine D Series Acoustic was a good beginner's acoustic and my old violin was quality.

Hey Henry, are you up late or up early? Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I also find Crash a mediocre film, and I think that its Oscar for best f**king movie was one of the Oscar's lowest moments ever.

Early, I was asleep from 9pm to 2am and I've been w**king instead of watching this terrible movie because I keep pausing it and getting distracted because I hate it so much and I don't want to have to write about it. And I would agree, but Titanic was a worse movie, although so many people saw that I can sort of understand caving on that one. Once I finish and write and send it out (it's a group project argh) I'm going to nap then get up again to do a bunch of other stuff I should have done this weekend.

Well, I did say "one of" the lowest moments. Titanic is a good contender, yeah LOL

So I had it spoiled for me because I heard the guy in the class talking about shooting blanks, so the scene when crazy Persian guy shoots a blank was hilarious. Why was the hispanic guy screaming? Anything that hit her would also hit him and he could obviously feel that he didn't get shot. Obviously you can't expect him to think of them being blanks but the Persian guy could have failed utterly and missed.

Good good, better to get a 300$ amp now than a 100$ one and ending up getting the 300$ one six months later. It depends on what you want to play though, a modelling amp is great for a range of stuff.



My friend uses one of these (the 15 watt model) for practice and it sounds pretty good with a great range of effects, not sure on pricing here or in NZ though.

She does actually although I think it was more her clothing choice, my mum only saw her from the car when I was getting picked up to go to the dentist.
