good products and their worth

[Chewillneverdie]

in a communist society how would goods differ? would only one company be making things like guitars? I pride myself on owning nice guitars. Well me and my dad anyway lol we share.bought to be 2 PRS's Joe Perry Les Paul, 70s Les Paul Custom, Fender Stratocasters, Some other fenders, Ovation, Custom built cheap guitar, Samick, im just implying the Les Pauls are alot better than the Samick so they should be more expensive. Dont think im rich, my dad wont ever go to the doctor, or get insurance, or take us to the doctor to get those. Im just wondering, My Les Paul is built to perfect specs and my samick is shit, is one company going to be making all the shit? cus i like having a diverse selection for my band. Not just one company making them all

Philosophy forum?

Strats are the shit.

Les Paul's are the shit.

Custom Les Paul...mmm

Anyway it's a good question and I have no answer. Wait what am I doing, oh yeah passing time until I get pissed.

my american made strat is nice, like a grand and a half, that Joe Perry through my Marshall fucking screams too hehe. Im just saying, a samick costs shit, but they are shit, My Les Paul costs a shitload, but it was also made to a perfection (the boys at Gibson are good at that) lol wheres a commy when you need em?

[Chewillneverdie]

i suppose the real question is if one company will be making all the products, that would take out every bit of diversity in shopping. In life in general also

i've got a peavy, and it totally sucks... the neck has been bendt, so it makes a really sour tone... will buy myself a new guitar soon... but i do not think there will be only one producer, as guitars is built very different for the different genres of music...

Basically in a communist society, making guitars would not qualify as a needed service therefore anyone who made them would do do purely volunatrily. But of course people would still make them as an art and as a craft. In fact there would probably be far more diversity as instead of competition and 'market' pressures, people would genuinely try to make good products because they cared and probably to gain respect in the field. After all the concept is that after working an needed service there would be a great deal of free time, time in which one could, say, catch fish or write music or make guitars.

who is to say that guitars are a needed or not-needed service?? communism isn't all about working your ass of you know, its about enriching the mind, wich is needed because otherways you become alienated, so it would be a needed service for one who would like to discover music ... and isn't it far more easy to research f.e for new and better humbuckers in some proff. researchfacility ??? wouldn't the quality of the product be better of made in a place that is especcialy designed to make those?

btw, i own a squier strat, bought it second hand for 127$ including an amp, amp sucked but it lasted for about a year, now i got new amp and my guitars sounds pretty good tough (not comparable to am/mex fenders)

Well I think that we need a good plan for the future.We need to study how much can we spent natural resources to make luxuries without detroying the nature completely.

TOSS AWAY YER GUITARS AND BUY THE REAL INSTRUMENT!

The BASS GUITAR :cool:

[Chewillneverdie]

i also own a specter bass, fender cab, and a Hartke Systems Transient Attack head hehe. I prefer the deep end sound of my Les Pauls.

[Chewillneverdie]

oh and there are schools that teach making guitars, and i prefer american made guitars, every bit of detail is almost perfect. TGFG thank god for gibson lol

[Jesus Christ]

Musicman basses are da bomb

[Hate Is Art]

BASS!!! Can't you handle 6 strings mate?

The Flying Pig (http://www.theflyingpiguk.com) Click Here and you can pick up a Mexi Strat for £299, very good value, £100 off.

[Chewillneverdie]

bass is sometimes harder, depending on how you play, ever play a 6 string bass? HOLY SHIT thats some tough stuff lol. I play three instruments bass, drums, and guitar

Why, oh why is everyone so crazy about strats? O.k. they have their place but assuming we can be a little liteist here, they simply aren't much anymore, even American Strats. Good yes, but still mass produced and overpriced, brand name. I would rather a John Suhr, although a tele's tone is supperior in my oppinion, far warmer. As for gibson, yes they are nice, although I wouldn't like to gig with less than n LP deluxe or custom. I couldn't use an epi at all. For the money I would have to say Godin, at the least top models, LGX SA is far more versatile, and is superior in many aspects. I played of a PRS custom 24 artist, a deluxe LP, and a parker fly deluxe and classic before taking the godin home. Although very tempted by the PRS I knew I would be paying for the name. I like hand built guitars, so I would go for a smaller company. But I can't fault Crafter, well I can but I am not going to, anyway as a professional requirement I take my godin anyday.

Strats are just cool, simple, they play well and thats what the average non-gigging player wants, nothing too technical etc.

If I ever get around to joining a band I am getting a Telecaster.

They are good as an early guitar, however, getting into the better quality ones, you are getting ripped off. For new guitarists I would probably recommend the Yammaha, especially Pacifica range, 100-200 will get you a great, reliable, versatile and fun first guitar.

Schecter makes some good priced, good playing, beautifuckinful guitars too
