Guitar to amp/modeler price ratio: Mine is pretty out of whack

[Boudoir Guitar]

More like $3.50 pair of jeans with $0.35 in the pocket

Glad I'm not the only one that was wondering whether $35 jeans were considered expensive or cheap!

Today I'll be playing a 1k guitar into a 1.5k modeler into a 1.5k tube amp

There's a lot about the man that makes me scratch my head.

A dearly departed buddy of mine back east did some work on his car decades ago and said his ego could barely make it through the garage door.

Green neon perimeter lit room? What's not to like?

I would expect a certain base line of ego to be required of someone willing to charge one or two people $7500 or more for the chance to visit him at his home to cook them a meal and talk to them about his amazing life experiences:

I splurged big time and bought 3 pairs of $20 shorts (on sale) from target last week. That was the most reluctant purchase I've made in a while

Meanwhile I think I spent more than that on cables the other day

I'd love to book the dinner, attend using a check that bounces right after I ask for the ranch dressing

Do they also sell men’s clothes

Funniest thing about Al is he carries this air of elegance about him. The way he dresses with the perfectly manicured beard and designer eyeglasses.

Then he opens his mouth and sounds like a reject from The Jersey Shore's casting call.

Hey, what do they call condoms over in Italy?

Sergio Prevente.

Both. Meaning: $35 for jeans is too much, but trying finding a pair that doesn't cost more.

We need a spinoff thread: Wardrobe to Meal Expense Ratio Mine Is Pretty Out of Whack LOL.

I find myself doing this all the time (though you can rest assured I didn't actually pay 1.5K for the amp), and I feel the same way I feel when I wash the dishes before loading the dishwasher.

I thought this madness had passed by the late '80s?

(I had a friend at the time who would wear those awful Jordache jeans with the stripes, and his dad would call him Uncle Sam ROTFLMAO.)

For $9,500 a person you can have the dinner at his villa in Italy with a private concert on the patio overlooking the ocean

I dunno, its more the "I don't care what kind of great polyrhtym-against-the-clave-in harmelodilixolidian V of the ii chord sophisticated shit you're playing, it sounds like smooth jazz" disjointedness that I find off-putting.

It does look lovely, of course. How much extra would I have to pay in order for the extra guitarist to not be present?

You're right. I wasn't sure of the era.
