Crazy Expensive Gear
Would You Buy it?

It's not only a Fender guitar - it's artwork! :

Alright, cool. I plan to keep my budget from $400-$700 if possible. I haven't heard much from Benz, but a local technical metalcore band at my high school uses Crate amps, so I'll talk to them about that.
i have a crate 120 watt 212, it's pretty sweet. plenty of distortion, but not as tight as i would like. but for the price it's amazing (and it can get pretty loud). un fortunatly, the genz benz wil probably be a little out of your price range (combos starting at 1100). if you want a nice tube amp, check out the peavey valvekings and crate blue voodoos (unfortunatly, the only BV you can get anymore is the 120 which is lacking the 150 and 300's ultra high gain channel, but it's still pretty sweet).
I've been looking at the Peavey Valvekings, but they're always on backorder on musiciansfriend (which is where I get a lot of my equipment from). But if all else fails I'll try to get that Randall tube amp or one of the ones you listed.
I use DR pure blues strings, gauge 11-50, dunlop tortex .73 mm picks (the yellow ones), and I don't know what kinda strap I have, it's just a pink leopard one I got in guitar center.
My wishlist for gear would probably go something like this:
Small:
A good wah pedal (maybe a dunlop crybaby or a vox)
A good reverb pedal
Large:
A tube amp or good halfstack
New pickups for my Epi LP (the pickups in it are extremely muddy and sound horrible compared to my Viper)
That's all I can think of right now. I could always try some new strings or picks or something else too.
