New Gear Acquisitions

[At_Giza]

Yeah, I know. I'd probably just put one in the middle offset a bit for both.

And I would make my own faceplate. I wish it were as easy to make this stuff as it were in my head.

[Jake]

I couldn't help myself and got this reissue non-reverse.

[At_Giza]

Well, help yourself and donate it to a worthy cause.

[Corey Y]

Nice one Jake, that's a beaut. I've wanted a NR Firebird for a long time.

[VOLVO)))]

God fucking fuck.

I envy you, Jake. Straight up envy.

Just picked this up for cheap. It plays amazing. The wood is pretty nice but the electronics are jacked.

The bridge pickup was replaced with a Gibson 300T but whoever wired it in somehow shorted something out and the output is like 1/10th my other guitars. There are two wires that are just twisted together and wrapped with tape in there.

Once I figure out the wiring problems it should be pretty sweet.

[fallen]

Found this so I should be able to sort it out.

About a year ago i came across a very nice playing Epi Explorer.  didn't jump on it soon enough and somebody else realized it was a good one.  Played better than sever gibbys I'd played.  But oh the neck dive.

Since I'm poor I just picked up a headbox for the beta power + and a 1x15 bass cab to start off the beta bass' stack. When I sell a couple more things I'll buy the 2x10 to complete that stack. When I come into more money I am going to have a headbox made for my Andromeda 20 and a 2x12 cab in Red Mahogany. That's about $900 more that I don't have right now. xP

Goddamn it, Hal.

Nice, which speakers did u get in the 1x15? Stain color?

A 175W Weber. In Empire Red with a black grill (because no matter how good I think tweed and empire red looks, I don't think tweed fits with the betas).

I've got friends with weber cabs with several different kinds of webers in them so I've tried a pretty decent range of them. I really dig the ones Emperor recommends, perfect range of everything for what I primarily play.

I've been trying out putting a 5 oz fishing weight in the electronics cavity of my baritone guitar to balance it out a little bit better and it helps a little...

I've been thinking of putting together a kit with a long 3 1/2" woodscrew and a 2" aluminum tube spacer and a washer to make it easy to move the top horn pivot point out 2" to change the balance point.

If it works out I'll post it on here.

[Hemisaurus]

I go to the local diving shop, they sell lead shot in little bean bags for diving weights, chuck one in your compartment for balance, or if it's a Gibson, 2

Long story short: Significant other needs to invest in something that will hold it's value for the next few years, if not increase.

Cut to new "family photo" with the addition of a '76 3-humbucker Black Beauty Custom. Got a great deal on it. Came with the case from a '68 Custom, too. Bonus.

Scored some serious iron, possibly for a project, but might trade for a bunch of work from my tech:

I bought a Whirwind Orange box (Phaser) and a DOD DFX9 the other day.

Fuckin' 'ell.  How many quid?

[Mr. Foxen]

Don't really do talking about prices of stuff I buy, some people like bringing it up when I try and sell it again. And flipping stuff is how I cover the cost of doing music stuff. But it was more the sort of price a broken rotting old PA is 'worth' than what a set of 200w iron is 'worth'.

[Baltar]

Gotcha.  No worries.
