That's weird, my bandmates and I never bought a PA system. We just used a guitar amp. It works pretty much the same. |

a basic studio setup in your rehearsal studio so you can record jams and improve and if it's good use it as a demo and save mad cash in the long term if you are serious and are planning on staying together as a group. in the end it's about spending thousands of dollars upfront in the hopes of making tens of thousands in return over the next few years. it's a big investment... |

^i like huseys post better. Guts and beer in capslock sounds way more awesome than rehearsing and investing in a reasoned out paragraph. |
