Music: Ska, Rock
Right now I have:
Guitar: Ibanez RG 120
Amp: Crate gt10 (I could obviously use a much larger amp)
Pedals: Digitech RP3
What else would I need at MINIMUM to start gigging?
Answer
well you already know that you need a new amp. one thing i will say about that is that you could get a half stack(which are usually preferable because of tone and volume and other reasons) but a nice 2X12 combo amp is also an option. it wont help you as much with house shows and gigs that you set up places but if you are playing a club or sumthing with a PA system they can easily mic your cab(theyd have to even if you had a half stack).
you are probably gonna want to invest in other important small things. Such as new reliable guitar cables. these are very important because i was never more p!ssed than when my guitar cable gave out right before a solo.
also simple things like a guitar repair kit. just something portable. all it has to have is an extra pair of strings, a pair of pliers with a wire cutter(helps with changing strings), maybe a pitch pipe, a screwdriver to open your guitar up, and some extra pics.
Some things you may be interested in after playing for a while that make gigs a lot easier are a tuner pedal (so you dont have to stop and unplug ur guitar and plug it into the tuner and all. you can just engage ur pedal). you could get a pic holder that snaps onto the mic stand. ummm lots of water. an absolute necessity.
but the first two paragraphs you should definitely check in to. the third will save ur @ss one day. and the last are just the icing on the cake. good luck kid
