Next Purchase Curiosity

[just strum]

What do you think will be your next guitar or gear related purchase.

My thoughts change about a purchase change from day-to-day and it always includes a guitar. However, I think my next purchase will be a new speaker for the AD30VT. DVM and gang convinced me in an older thread that it was a good investment.

So, what are you kicking around for your next purchase.

From picks, to Gibson, to Marshall stacks - you name it.

[warren0728]

my next guitar will be something with p90's....the gibson sg classic looks great but i might go with something less expensive like a godin or reverend or something...

ww

[luvmyshiner]

My son told me if I quit smoking he'll buy me a Marshall stack. But I think CB would get more use out of that than I would. Right now I'm really leaning toward either a mandolin, or a Martin (don't tell the guys over on the Washburn forum about that last one).

[just strum]

...(don't tell the guys over on the Washburn forum about that last one).

I started to post SHINER IS BUYING A MARTIN in real big red font over at the Washburn forum, but then I thought they would all jump on me for attempting to start a fight.

[R.B. Huckleberry]

I need an Airbrake attenuator for my Dr. Z MAZ 18. 18 watts is loud, and I can't get the mojo working on it without rattling the walls.

Also on my list: the Lovekraft Chupacabra pedal.

[Childbride]

Washburn DB Cherokee. but i'm broke, and it will have to wait.

[Gil Janus]

My next purchase will be a Fender Super Champ XD - AdvanceMusic up in Burlington has them. It sounds very nice and has gotten many good reviews. It will be my primary amp. Since I don't gig, it should be fine - the 15w should be enough to annoy the neighbors and my family :dude:

Gil :cool:

I saw the Chupacabra running across the road the other day and he was heading your way. :D Tell us more about this mysterious creature and pedal. :drool:

[F_BSurfer]

Well I purchased a 3 tone sunburst Xaviere 870 w/ maple neck last night,don't know what the next purchase will be, have to replace 13 guitars ,2 amps and 11 pedals so it might be new blues driver then the the H2O mod kit

[TS808]

My next purchase? Who knows. I saw a Fender Studio lead on ebay the other day in absolutely mint condition...that was the first guitar amp I ever bought and it had to be in the early 80's. I put a bid down but was outbid. The winning bid was close to what I paid for the amp NEW over 25 years ago.

If I have a purchase in the near future, I might go for a Peavey Vypyr or Vox Black Diamond amp, but I'm in no hurry right now to buy any gear. I've been pretty satisfied with the gear I have now.

[thearabianmage]

Well, if all goes well, my next purchase will be a Jackson DK2m plus a super 5-way and 5 on/on mini-toggles and 2 on/on/on mini toggles for a combined total of around 35-38 tones + dedicated killswitches and an over-all killswitch.

Either that or a Fender Lite Ash Stratocaster in natural finish.

Or maybe an Epiphone Dot Studio or similar, replace the pickups and add some modded wiring. . .

. . . Been wanting to change the speaker in my amp for a while. . .

. . .Too much gas, not enough cash. . .

[scgmhawk]

I'm thinking a "telecaster" style guitar but I also want a tube amp. Such difficult decisions...:whatever:

[warren0728]

. . .Too much gas, not enough cash. . .
that about sums it up! :bravo: :thwap:

[ShortBuSX]

I need to sell some stuff on Craiglist first...but Im thinkin a used Blues Jr or a Boss RC-20XL Loop Station. But Im thinkin I need the Loop Station more than I need another amp and I think itd help me alot with my rythmn, leads and help me advance to another level...whereas I feel Im in kind of a rut without it.

[wingsdad]

Strum (and maybe a few more veteran Fretnetters),

You've known me long enough to know I've been a :messedup: 'horse trader', on a weekly Search & Acquire Mission, on my local GAS Station's speed-dial to tip me on the latest trade-ins that hit the place.

So here's a shocker: None. :eek:

I've got more than I need...what's the opposite of GAS? :thwap:

[Rocket]

...what's the opposite of GAS?
SAG!

[marnold]

Any new purchases would be somewhat in the future, but like Strummy I'd consider a speaker for my AD30VT, a bass, and a Danelectro Cool Cat Fuzz.

Gotta put some $$ aside to get The Force Unleashed for the PS3 too.

[just strum]

I must add the "Lucille" to my list, but a distant second to the speaker.

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ETBBEBGH

Maybe a used one will pop up.

[ted s]

There is a Squire Deluxe Strat in white as well as an American Standard in white in the local L & M. I'm going to have to A/B them I think.

[wingsdad]

SAG!
Correctomundo, amigo :bravo:
And if I have to, I will.

[evenkeel]

Lets see next purchase....

Strings for the new 12'er. Got a set of 80/20 Martins today, but I'm sure a set of D'ad phosophur bronze's will need to be purchased for comparision.

And I hate switching straps around so a new wide leather strap is in order.

When I bought the 12 string I had no intention of playing her out so she's straight acoustic. Now I'm thinking maybe.... so a K&K western or mini may be in the offing.

Running low on the heavy dunlop flat/thumbs I like... And I find the mediums are better on the 12 than the heavies I use on everything else. I only have one medium....

I feel practically naked.. :D

[Rocket]

I just ordered a bunch of out-of-print books... does that count?

[tjcurtin1]

Nothing... absolutely nothing - I'm done!

DO YOU HEAR ME?! I'M DONE, I HAVE EVERYTHING I WANT!

Ooops... sorry for shouting...


:poke: :D

[R.B. Huckleberry]

I saw the Chupacabra running across the road the other day and he was heading your way. :D Tell us more about this mysterious creature and pedal. :drool:



A "boutique" Rat pedal, basically...but with a "standard" tone control & a 3 way switch that lets you choose, asymetrical clipping, symetrical clipping or boost functions. I have a Rat pedal, but this has just a little bit "more" that I'm interested in. New Rats are made in China, and they quality is so poor now compared to their Kalamazoo counterparts that Robert Keeley refuses to mod them anymore. So I was bored, wondering "what do I do when my Rat kicks the bucket?", and tripped on the Chupacabra.


Here it is:

Excellent choice.

Even though I play and have played with some good drummers nothing beats a steady mechanism like the looper for getting solid with your timing, phrasing and creativity.

[sunvalleylaw]

Looks to be an LP type, maybe Epiphone, or a Gretsch Electromatic. Possibly could be Peavey Vyper, but that is really for my boy. I don't really need anything else, or even those items.

I almost got myself in trouble and bought a used Martin D-28 from the local guitar store that is closing. Very known quantity type of guitar, having been owned by my instructor and one other guitarist who traded it in wanting a D-18. I couldn't do it though. I cannot afford that sort of purchase right now. AARRRRRRGHHH!

[Jimi75]

My next purchase will be an amp. I think it's goint to be a Fender Super Reverb, but still I'm not sure.

[Spudman]

Just got a cover for my H&K amph...so I'm done.;)

[Brian Krashpad]

I have a few transactions pending, but more getting rid of than acquiring.

Will probably sell this'un:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/2564111223_31fefd10d6.jpg

To recoup a bit of what I dropped on this'un:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/2686545950_7efd400e5d.jpg

Also I have a pair of 10" monitors with horns I need to sell, they're just taking up space in the garage at Casa Krashpad, and if I needed to run a PA with monitors I've got a couple small (2x10 and 2x12) guitar cabs I could use in their place in a pinch.

Am working on getting a hsc for the Epi WildKat pictured above. A net buddy of mine has a case that's a little big, but will sell for half of the price of a new Epi WildKat case.

[ShortBuSX]

Excellent choice.

Im sellin a bunch of stuff on the Craigslist, so this will likely be a sweet lil birthday present to mahself.

[beachhound]

Toss up....Used Line 6 XT Floorpod or Steiney (I don't know why either...I just want one). Either way I'm dead as soon as the wife sees it. Good thing I ran out of money for now. Next spring though.........hmmmmmm could hide em in the closet and ...........

[just strum]

I just ordered a bunch of out-of-print books... does that count?

yep

[luvmyshiner]

What books Rocket?

[just strum]

What books Rocket?

probably porn

[t_ross33]

The Wildkat and Gretsch threads have me :drool: but I'm tapped right now :cry: So maybe I'll just swap in some GFS Retrotron p'ups on my Washburn HB and call it a day ;) Might drop a Lil Killer bridge p'up in my Strat too.

I would also like to get a pedal case to house my GNX3000.

And I want to set up a little home recording studio DAW.

That should do it for now :D

EDIT: Oh, and I saw a 74 Deluxe or maybe it was a Twin Reverb on Kijiji for $650... oh my wife would kill me :saw:

[luvmyshiner]

probably porn

:messedup: ewwwwwwww! That just doesn't make sense dude, I mean . . . if it's out of print those women are probably like 90 years old now.:eek:

"Colossus and the Crab" - D.F. Jones (to complete the Colossus trilogy: "The Forbin Project" & "The Fall of Colossus")
"A Separate Reality" & "Journey to Ixtlan" (A couple gone missing from my Carlos Castaneda collection)

Hard part is finding signed, first editions!

[luvmyshiner]

Very cool Rocket! I have Journey to Ixtlan, A Separate Reality, Tales of Power and The Second Ring of Power. None of them signed though.:D Got into Carlos when I was working on a Ph.D. in phenomenology of religion. Never finished the Ph.D., but I still have the books.

(sorry for the hijack Strum, thought they might be music books)

[just strum]

Me, concerned about a hijack??? Remember who you are talking to.

[Rocket]

I've been reading Castaneda since 71. I got him to sign my collection at a San Diego book signing in 94. I've lost those two since then... wouldn't it be appropriate if I was buying back my missing pair?

Haha! Thats so funny...Don Juan books kinda say alot about a person(hehe).
I read some Carlos back in my late teens when I was into mushrooms :D
I probably wasnt supposed to mention all that though, huh?

[Rocket]

It is what it is.
Actually we have many things in common not at all akin to organic substance ingestion... more related to anthropology, human nature, and writing.

[ShortBuSX]

...suddenly Im reminded that Ive still got much to learn.
But Id recommend "the Alchemist" or "Celestine Prophicies" if you havent read them, although not written by Carlos they are similar in some reguards and different in others.

[Spudman]

...

I enjoyed the Celestine books. They really left some serious concepts in my noggin. Fortunately these were found at the local library so I didn't have to purchase them (just to stay on topic :) ).

[Tone2TheBone]

I never finished reading the Celestine Prophesy. Saw a B movie about it though. Interesting stuff yup. What was the topic again sorry?

[Hilmer]

Hahaha...when I had read the previous post (and all the others) I had totally forgotten the subject of this thread...

To kick it back in the direction I suppose it was supposed to go from the beginning, I'm pretty sure my next purchase will be an amp.

I am almost certain it will be the Egnater Rebel http://www.egnateramps.com/Rebel20.html which looks very interesting to me.

[ShortBuSX]

Interesting amp...but where can you buy that model at? And how much does it sell for.
FWIW, at the bottom of that page(the link) it says "Buy it" I clicked on that and it gives you 4 links, none of those 4 links show that model(or price)...I googled it and all I find are forums where people are talking about it, but still no vendor selling it.

Suddenly Im feelin a pair of these in my near future:

I don't know if they carry that one in particular but I know Guitar Center has been carrying Eganator amps.

[Hilmer]

The Egnater Rebel is not in the stores yet but I believe it will be sold by the vendors linked to on the homepage.

I think I read that it will be around $500-600 for the head and $250 for the cabinet.

On this link is says "Shipping september"

[R.B. Huckleberry]

well, I pulled the trigger on a Dr. Z Airbrake. now I'm just waiting to hear that they shipped it.

[Bloozcat]

I've got to cool it for a little while...

After the two dozen red roses (plus one pink one), the Champagne, and a pair of diamond earings I just bought my wife for our 25th anniversary, I'm a little tapped out for a bit....:o

She's worth it though....:AOK:

[Tibernius]

The next guitar-related thing for me to buy is a Telecaster neck. I bought the rest of a a Squier Affinity on ebay for £40 delivered.:D

Speaking of which, is there a difference in size between the Fender and Squier neck pockets? :confused:

[ShortBuSX]

Been doin pretty well on the Craigslist, got some extra cash, made for a nice early birthday gift to mahself...I always buy mahself the best gifts :beer:

Now if only I knew how to use this damn thing!:thwap:

[Robert]

Probably some picks. :)

[tunghaichuan]

I've been on a pedal buying binge lately.

Last week I got a Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb, CE-5 Stereo, and MD-2 Mega Distortion from Guitar Center. I got a BCB-30 pedal board to house them in and a PSA-120S adapter to save on batteries.

Next up will be another BCB-30/PSA-120S, a Boss Digital Delay and a Metal Zone or Metal Core for those evil metal sounds :dude:

I'm also waiting on a Tri-Boost kit from BYOC that I got for my birthday.

I've also got a couple of amp projects on the back burner, including a gutted Marshall Lead 12 with a tube circuit built in, and a scratch-built 18watter.

[R.B. Huckleberry]

My Airbrake will be delivered this Wednesday. Can't wait to wind out the power section of my Dr. Z amp!

[sunvalleylaw]

Not really my purchase, but my son will very likely be getting a Peavey Vyper (30 watt version) by his birthday around the middle of September. (I may be more excited than he is, though he is plenty excited. ;) )

The next purchase for you should be the Epi Dot. I'm going to remind you of that until you post the pic of your new Dot.

So get that amp for your son and then focus on the Dot.

[GREENMACHINE]

I think I will be looking at getting a hollowbody, like a ES335 shape or something.

[street music]

I made the mistake of looking on ebay yesterday at the acoustic amps that were about to end, I should be receiving a CRATE CA30 this week. I have wanted an acoustic amp for quite some time that could give me good clean sound without effects, I guess for less than $100 (includes shipping) I will have what many say is a great amp.
I shouldn't have looked.

When I first replied to this thread, my answer[s] was [were]:

I've really been eyeing up the new G&L Tribute series Comanche. At $799 it looks like a really cool guitar...a bit different than my strats, but still has that strat vibe.

I'm at the point now where I really don't need any more gear though, and am satisfied with the gear I have....not that that ever stopped me before :D

[AdamM]

going to buy a Seymor Duncan Hotrail for the bridge position of my Deluxe Strat, then As soon as I have the cash, a Jackson DK2S (with the sustainiac in the Neck position) in Amber Sunburst :rockon:

[thearabianmage]

a Jackson DK2S

Jacksons . . . . :master: . . . . I want the DK2M in snow white. They are sexy guitars, are they not?

I'd probably prefer the inferno red but that maple board with black sharkies is beyond hawt.

[Duff]

I have the SD hot rail in the neck position on an affinity hot rodded strat I'm working on and it sounds really good and high output bluesy.

I put a SD JB Jr. in the bridge and the JB Jr. really cuts and bites. It sounds awesome.

The hot rail might sound more striking in the bridge position than in the neck like I have it but the JB Jr. sounds incredible.

I have a 'lil 59 SD in the middle and they blend well in positions two and four.

I think you will like the hot rail and you can always switch it around or compliment it with other SD's as time goes on.

They are both great sounding high gain pickups.

Son's amp is being ordered. But for myself . . . . a DVM rat clone "Rabid Rodent" is now on order!!! Yeah!!

I did fancy the DK2M in Crimson Sworl but I'm in a two guitar band and the other lad has his eye on that so that made my mind up on the DK2S.

I play poker and am attempting to fund the purchase with my profits. If I can make enough, I'll pick up both and my friend will just have to pick something else.

[Spudman]

Congrats on the pedal choice. It will be a good one. That's a very versatile pedal and as you know the build quality is first class.

[Duff]

Judging by how my SD hot rail sounds in the neck of my affinity I'm positive you will like it in the bridge of your Deluxe. It is as strong in the neck as my JB Jr. is in the bridge and they both sound fantastic. The 'lil 59 SD sounds super great in the middle by the way.

That affinity is a tone machine plus.

Pictures to be taken very soon and posted as soon as I can.

I have a case intended for my WildKat on a FedEx truck as we speak, same one I mentioned back on page 2. It's a bit big but I reckon I can live with throwing a towel in since a new Epi case woulda been almost twice what I spent.

Holy cow, I'm cheap.

I ordered a GFS Asian/Mexican tremolo unit w/steel bloc for my SX SST Mahagony P-90 guitar. It's due to arrive today. Hopefully, it'll drop right in and I won't have to extend the route to make it fit. But, if it needs more routing, it's not that big a problem.

When I replace the trem, I'm also going to replace the nut with a Tusq, and the pots and switch as well. I plan to leave the stock pickups in the guitar for now. I'd like to see what I can get out of them with the other mods before I consider replacing them. It is a $110.00 guitar...so I'm going to try to keep the modding costs down...(yeah, right...:whatever: ).

I received the Airbrake last Wednesday. I've put some hours in with it since, and it may be my single best purchase of the year (aside from the amp, of course).

AC/DC and Aerosmith type rhythm tones at survivable volume levels with no OD pedal! Oh, man...I am in love with my sound now!

[warren0728]

my next guitar will be something with p90's....the gibson sg classic looks great but i might go with something less expensive like a godin or reverend or something...
