[quote name='G.S.T.Ring' post='6672' date='May 25 2007, 05:24 PM']As some/most of you may know, my rig was stolen recently.
I'm currently saving up for a new one (thanks for the offers of replacement gear) and thought I'd get some input from the "experts".
If you were buying everything over again from scratch, what would you consider essential?
What would you suggest has the best tone/feel?
All opinions will be treated with respect btw.... I'm looking for feedback not a chance to ridicule anyone[/quote]
Were you happy with your previous rig? (what was it, by the way?). If you liked it, why not buy it again?
As for what I'd consider essential, it would have to sound good! An open ended answer to an equally open-ended question. Being easy to carry around would also be a factor for me.
You'd be better off asking yourself these questions. What do YOU consider to be essential? What tone/feel are YOU after?
