My current gear - for those interested...
« on: January 15, 2010, 04:17:59 PM »
Rather than hijack Lew's NGD thread, I'll start this afresh.  Along with Ian Price, a few others may be interested to know what's left in my stable at the minute, so I'll break down my guitars and amps.  In the last 12 months I've had a really good clearout, and joined one more band:

For my covers band, Doppelganger:

* Fender CS 50s Top Bound Esquire relic in Lake Placid Blue (ex-Ian Price)
* Fecker La Cabronita in Blue Sparkle (built by WezV)
* Martamp Orion protoype head in black
* Martamp 2x12 in black with Celestion Golds
* MJW FX Driver in black

Both guitars get swapped around gig by gig, and I'll use either/or as main or backup

For my tribute band, YC/DC:

* Epiphone '65 reissue SG with vibrola and Riff Raffs (my only BKPs!)
* La Cabronita - backup
* Martamp M45/100 head
* Martamp 4x12 with Celestion Golds and G12H Heritages

For the 'DC spin-off covers band, Sir Denis:

* Fano JM6 relic in Lake Placid Blue
* CS Esquire or La Cabronita - backup
* Martamp M45 head in blue (ex-Martin of Martamp)
* Martamp 2x12 in blue with Celestion Greenbacks (ex-Martin of Martamp)

Acoustics:

* Martin J15 all-mahogany 6-string
* Martin J12-15 all-mahogany 12-string

Other electrics/amps:

* PRS Modern Eagle - gets out for the odd Doppelganger gig, my overall #1 guitar
* PRS McCarty Korina with Throbak PAFs
* Fender CS '58 Heavy Relic Tele in Red Sparkle
* Squier '62 JV Strat in Fiesta Red with Bulldog pickups - my first electric guitar!
* Gordon Smith GS-1 in cherry red with an SD Custom Shop EVH pickup - about to be set up for slide
* Martamp 6L6 Deluxe relic combo with an old Celestion G12H (bass cone)


Phew!  I think that's it!  My Warmoth Thinline is currently being checked out by a mate to see if he wants to buy it.  If he doesn't, it'll be up for sale on here and elsewhere.

Cheers Dave! I'm debating a cheap(ish) SG just to check that I'm not a HB man. I know your Epiphone (with it's upgrades) cost quite a bit.
I think I hate being indecisive.

80% of this will be sold on here in the next 2 years  :)
I'm only friendly with him because he is a source of cheap loot!

:lol:

I'm sticking to my guns about no new guitars this year.  If I could sell any more, I would, but once you've got them it's hard to let them go.  I guess I can justify around half of them, and nearly all the amps, as they go out gigging.

Yes I could use the same gear for different bands if I had to, but where's the fun in that?  ;)

Due to a lack of pics, I'm forced to assume that it doesn't exist :P

Trust me, it does!
There are 10 kinds of people who understand binary.

Indeed it does. I saw quite a few of this collection on my visit to Dave's.

In that sense it's probably a much higher % than most pros could justify!

Me, I think you should get some more guitars.  :wink:
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Twinfan are there any martamps you don't own? I mean, lovely amps, but... leave some for the rest of the world!
