If I was going with a cheap amp I would probably go with a Peavey. Great amp for the money. And a good solid state amp.

Yep, Pollard by a mile. And thanks for the comprehensive lists!

Who says you can't play?

All I ask is that I get a bit of fluffing before my full body scan.

I thought we had moved on to gear porn, sorry, lost track of the subject matter.

One of his best, great album.

I once met with a Computer science professor at UC Northridge who's main work was trying to program a computerized Go game. As soon as I told him I played go with my dad he said "your dad must be an electrical engineer". Apparently almost all Go players back then were EE's. I played a bit and loved it but never played enough to really learn the strategy. This is a good site for Go, I think it has some freeware for computerized go games on it but I have not tried any of them. I'm glad you reminded me about it, I think I will check it out as well. http://senseis.xmp.net/ The free software

This crystallizes my thoughts nicely. Either an ES-335 or a 58 re-issue Les Paul is my next choice (Since I have the strat, tele, and amp). There is some good amp porn out there as well:

Wow, that's like something out of Old Yeller or something. Bad ass dog.

This was a great movie. Was there a more tense and well directed scene last year than the farmer hiding the Jewish family under the house? (I don't think this constitutes a spoiler in any way, at least I hope not).

I can't really comment on him because I have only heard what is on the radio and lord knows that's not always a good indicator. But the stuff I have heard has been just awful. I mean if "Your body is a wonderland" and "Daughters" is any indication of his other stuff than I want no part of it. I did see him play guitar in his trio on Leno or something and he is a good guitar player but it was nothing exceptional or that I have not heard from a decent bar band.

I have been listening to a lot of Big Star lately so I thought I would throw on something completely different...

I have a Chris Cornell Solo album that is actually really good. It's just him and an acoustic guitar and his voice is phenomenal. I did prefer Alice in Chains over Soundgarden though. I saw TAD open for Primus once, didn't do much for me although his threatening to stage dive was pretty damn funny.

I have heard such mixed reviews on that album. I just need to give it a listen I guess.

I agree, that was great stuff and way too short. Thanks for posting. I wish I knew how he keeps those guitars in tune the way he abuses them.

It really does depend on what you like to play. Since you don't already have an electric I would assume you are not playing heavy rock music. You can't go wrong with the 52 Fender Telecaster re-issue. It has become my main guitar because I can play anything from chickin pickin country to heavy rock and anything in between. Once it's set up correctly (probably by a professional) it plays like butter. I think they are selling for $1500 to $1600.

Not as bad as I expected but not great.

This song to me shows why Soundgarden was great.

I still think Louder than Love and Badmotorfinger are the essential albums to get. I bought Louder than love when it first came out and it sounded so different than anything else around at the time. I saw them live once at some big festival with Queensryche, Faith no more, and a few others and they were great.

Looks like a Peavey T-60 hanging up there. My first real electric guitar and I still have it.

Not sure Cornell can still Rock like he used to but he always had great pipes.

I agree and will start doing that. This one has been listed so many times I figured it was already known.

Still listening to this one.

Sounds like a great resolution to me. Just started this one:
