Righty-o.

1x Yamaha Pacifica 112 (lefty, for my Dad)
1x Yamaha Pacifica 112
2x Roland Cube 15

We're starting off from scratch, do you think this would be a good purchase for a total of £382?

Any input would be great.

Nowt wrong with it if your starting from scratch.

Pacifica's are lovely guitars anyway.... for any player

Nitefly · 15 Apr 2007 at 22:11

You have got leads as well..... right?

Plectrums too.

lemonkettaz · 15 Apr 2007 at 22:14

Yeh, 2 leads.. one for each of you.

Get a few plecs between you...

Always lose them. Well i do.. then i get that handy "never lose your plectrum" plec holder... and lose that.

Maybe get some sets of new strings.

then jam away like mother lickers

EDIT: For strings i suggest 9 gauge strings... just ask behind the desk if your unsure. They are thinner basically so lighter on your fingers, once you get a little more into you may change to a higher gauge, or you may not... But that is in the future if your just starting out.. and nothing to worry about

You know you have to post a picture of you and your dad gurning with guitars in a super rock-pose way.

You start I'll follow

I too am looking to start learning the Guitar.

I was looking at this:

http://www.soundcontrol.co.uk/mod_1...index.php?sku=1.1.1.1.4-30-190-1.8.111.24.100

Maybe it will be best to get them seperatly :confused:

Seems as though Yamaha Pacifica 112 is around £180, that cant be right :confused:

lol

I'd go with either the JX or MX

TriedandTested · 16 Apr 2007 at 22:21

yeap, tuner and about 100 plectrums.

Chronos-X · 16 Apr 2007 at 22:27

Definitely a chromatic tuner - not a quiktune!

Still dont see the pacifica 112's referred to outside of ocuk but there you go.

TriedandTested · 16 Apr 2007 at 22:37

Korg CA-30 chromatic tuner. Should do the job.
