What were people buying in 1986.

[ejecta]

I was in high school then and I was buying doobies in the 'pit' (designated smoking area at school)


I would get 3 for $5, or 6 for $10

Ahhhhh the good ol days of cheap weed.

 

[timbo]

Kramers were all the rage for me back then. Just a junior in high school I could only afford a Focus 2000 though. I really wanted a Baretta. But, I did have one hell of a mullet and a rockin tude. It wasn't all a total loss I guess.

Yngwie looks a little like Pete Doherty!

Ya but you had to smoke a joint to yourself to get high...one puff of the stuff nowadays and I'm seeing things.

I used to smoke in high school, not all the time, just when it was offered....it's unbelievable how much we would smoke...you hit that point where you can't get any higher, you actually smoke yourself straight.
The stuff today is waaaay stronger...use with caution if you try it again.

 

[SuperStrat]

I wanted a boogie soooo bad in '86 -- bought my first house instead.

 

[vultures]

In 1986 I was buying my way into my mothers womb.

 

[SFW]

I 86, I was jamming a 74 Les Paul Custom through a Peavey bandit 75 and wishing I could afford a Marshall Stack. lol!

 

[guitarslinger]

I was buying Mask, He man, and Thundercats.

or was that '87?

 

[jaybird]

Sounds about right. I was buying JCM 800 half stack, Kramer Pacer, and Ibanez Roadstar back then. Boss SD-1 and EQ.

 

[moronmountain]

I was buying a Crate G212 and a Kramer Focus 6000 (in metal flake pink of course). In '89 I bought a JCM 800 2205 1/2 stack (still use the cab) and an ESP Mirage Custom which I still have. It's basically the same as a Jackson Soloist. It doesn't get played much though.

 

[guitarslinger]

I get the feeling I'm one of the youngest people on rigtalk.

 

[ratter]

I think it was around '86 or 87 that I got a red knob fender "Seventy-Five" combo for my birthday (I was 11), and a used Kramer that somebody had fingerpainted . I think it was an Aerostar. Total POS. It was $179, I remember that. And a few years later, I traded my saxaphone from the school band for a floyd rose and installed it myself using a hand-crank drill and a yardstick, and painted the guitar yellow. My guitar playing friends all had RG's and Crate combos and I always thought my yellow kramer and shitty amp sounded better!

How old are you? I'm only 16.

I would've thought Ibanez would be higher on that list

I had a white Ibanez flying V and a Peavey solid state Stereo Chorus 400 2x12 combo....first guitar and amp that I paid for, was damn proud.

 

[gibson5413]

Bought my Peavey Butcher head and matching 4x12 cab in 1986 and Gibson Les Paul as well. Looks like I contributed to their success. I bought them both in Dallas, TX at a shop called Lightning Music & Sound. Miss that place!

Ibanez stuff didn't start to take off until after the RG550 was out, which if I recall wasn't until late 87 (correct me if I'm wrong). I bought my first one around 88 or 89 and still have it.
