I have a budget of a max of around 3-350 dollars. I play blues, blues rock, and rock on my mexiStrat. I want an amp that can get a sweet SRV or John Mayer bluesy tone. I've been looking at the Fender Vibro Champ because it has a ton of range from rock to blues and its a good 200 dollars. Any suggestions? As many good answers as possible please.
Answer
I just bought a Vox AC4-TV to use as a practice amp in my living room.
What a GREAT little amp!
4 watts, all tube (solid state rectifier)
3 stetting attenuator (4 watts, 1 watt, 1/4 watt)
10 inch celestion speaker
Classic cream colored Vox cabinet.
$250
The real gem is the 3 attenuator settings. Great break up, but at lower volumes with the 1 watt & 1/4 watt settings. Perfect for practicing in a bedroom or living room.
On the 4 watt setting, it is surprisingly loud for it's size and wattage. It might be able to keep up with a moderately loud drum kit during practice. But you'd definitely need to mic it for a gig. The tone is fantastic once you start to push the tubes into saturation.
My other amp is a Fender Blues Jr. which is a great little amp of it's own. But they run almost $500 now. And truth be told, the Vox has better tone, but not nearly the volume.

How much money do i need saved up to rent my fist apartment?
April
I am a college student and I want to start saving money so that once I have graduated and get a job I can move into my first apartment. the only furniture I have is what's in my bedroom: bed, dresser, book shelf, desk, etc. I just need an estimated amount the least I would spend and the most. I live in Arizona.
Answer
Depends on where you live; your job may be in another state.
Do some research on the area where you will be living; www.rent.com can give you some idea about rental prices.
You will need at least first and last month's rent, plus a security deposit which will normally be equal to or more than the monthly rent.
If you have never had utilities in your name and they are not included in the apartment, plan on $25-100 per utility company as a security deposit.
Several thousand dollars for furniture, kitchen items, paper goods, cleaning products, towels, sheets, pillows.
So let's say you find an apartment for $900 per month (this assumes you will not be in NYC or LA, which would be much higher).
First and last month's rent $1800
Security deposit (guesstimate) $1000
Utility deposits =< $100
Furniture (conservatively) $2000
Kitchen utensils, dishes $500
Sheets, towels $200
Paper goods, cleaning products $100
Food, staples, etc. $200
TOTAL $5900
This is a very basic estimate.
Even if you a renting: GET INSURANCE!!!
Renter's insurance is very cheap, about $15 per month.
Have some money set aside to carry you over until you get your first paycheck.
You will also need to pay your cell phone bill.
Gas, car insurance, car maintenance, car payment if you have one, or money for public transportation if no car.
If you will be going off your parent's health insurance, plan on $50 or so a month for that, unless your employer provides it.
You should have extra money stashed for emergencies, like car repairs, illness.
Bottom line: several thousand.
Good luck! Hope your first job pays well.
