I have major GAS for a DAR FBM100, which is strange because I love the sound I get out of my 5150-II.
That's the only GAS I have had for ages or will likely have for ages - I have my custom guitar and have no desire for any other.

I'll post what's on number 1 on my GAS list.



I played one of these a couple of weeks ago. It blew me away.

I'm guessing the Mesa Boogie would be near the top of that list? Seems like an 80's Metalhead's dream amp

In actual fact, the Boogie is pretty low on the list. I've never managed to get a Boogie to sound right for me. I've been told the Rectifiers are different, but still...
At the moment, the Splawn is way in the lead. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger today.

On the topic of Amp Gas, I've always wanted an Orange... They seem so classic and original

I played the Mesa Stiletto in a store once. Was very disappointed. It sounded like the world's most expensive JCM900.
Didn't sound like a Mesa, nor a good Marshall.

On topic - my current amp GAS :

My GAS has been being treated quite frequently recently (I LOVE IT).

I needed a new amp, so I got a Blackstar half stack.
I needed somewhere to put my pedals, so I bought a pedal board.
I need pedals to stock the rest of the pedal board, I've ordered an MXR Carbon Copy, and Phase 90, with more to follow.

I havent actually bought a new guitar in years, but I really don't know what to go for next. Hopefully something Whammy bar equipped, something Floyd-Rose esque for show off whammy wankage.
