I bet the buses in his garden are more frequent than they are in my area.

In his mind, they probably are.

It's a happy and a sad story really.

I seem to have come to the end of an intense three year journey of getting my whole guitar/amp rig sorted.

It's finally there !!   My two guitars are perfect for me. My pedalboard is pretty much perfect (OK, I might want to add a wah at some point). My amps (2 duplicates plus another spare set of transformers) are perfect. My two identical cabs are now also perfectly suited to the rest of the rig.

The bad point is that this has been my main hobby for those years (yes, more so than actually playing the guitar).  I have so enjoyed cruising the www, researching, buying, selling etc.   But it's all over now. I feel a bit lost.

OK, so I've got the best tone I've ever had, and I really enjoy it, but I do miss the tone quest.

If I was made of money, I would just add to my gear but, unfortunately finances have tightened up a lot for us recently, and it's a strictly "sell one to buy one" motto for gear now.

I am to be pitied  :(

So to get this thread back on topic..........................

Has anyone else noticed that since posting this Alan is selling his Krank Distortious Maximus pedal and has bought a Gordon Smith GS-1?

As I predicted, it didn't take long then hey Alan?  :lol:

I think it's been passed onto me. I feel I don't have anything to buy. I have guitars, and am going to sell guitars. And I have an amp, plus Martin is going to build me a cabinet.

I'm.. G..A..S..f..r..eee......free...FREE......FREEDOOOMMMMM!!!!

I don't like the feeling so far.

It won't last.  Don't worry.

Or worry.  Whatever feels most appropriate.

I'll also admit to selling and buying a cab in the meantime too.  :oops:

But on the positive side, I haven't bought a new amp for months !!!   That is a big step for me.

And Jonny ..... I feel your pain !

Blimey he sounds a bit mad! You could have a jam with him Philly!

Not a chance!  It's actually pretty creepy going in the kitchen in the middle of the night and hearing someone shouting or mumbling crazily about 20 feet away.  I'm glad I'm on the first floor.

Here's his bus stop.  Why the hell would you build that in your garden?



is it legal to smoke in that shelter - it has three 'walls', contact environmental health  :lol:

Two identical Laney 2x12's (GS212ie), both now fully loaded with greenbacks. My vintage Marshall 4x12 has now gone.

  I had a "magic" event when my rig just sounded so perfect, playing through one of the Laney cabs. It just didn't sound as good through the Marshall, so I sold the Marshall, and put together another identical Laney cab with greenbacks. Two greenbacks on their own is just not quite in the safety zone for me for gigging. Four is fine though. The two 2x12 cabs gives me a pretty flexible setup too.  The gig I did on saturday, I set them up on top of each other, end on end, to have a really thin but tall stack .... didn't take up much space but got plenty of sound up around my lugholes.
