What has Twinfan just bought?

[dave_mc]

Yep!

I bought the P90 at 11am, got the offer of the SC245 around 3:30pm - had I known, I obviously wouldn't have bought the second SE!

:lol:

That 65 amp sounds lovely. How much do these go for here 4G?

Nah, full price for the head is/was £2399 and I got it in a sale for £1499.

Love the sound of that amp. Nicest amp I've heard in a while.

absolute steal! nice one!

[Twinfan]

Cheers!  There's some good deals around at the moment if you're fortunate enough to have a bit of cash.

[tekbow]

yeah, i know, especially with euro and dollar exchange rates on ebay.. I got very lucky a few years back when it was nearly 2 dollars to the pound and picked up a stunner of a PRS from the states for very much less than the going rate.

All my money has been whittled away on pedals this year though, haven't seen any guitars take my fancy and i don't have room to have another amp :(

That's a good price. That is one impressive sounding amp! Those Townshend, Angus & Gibbons tones were bang on I thought. Blimey I'm feel

I still think you need a purple PRS to go with the blue and green ones, Dave. 

P22, maybe?

[Telerocker]

Here in Holland the 65 Amps are very expensive. I like them, but not for 3000-3500 euro's.

[Twinfan]

P22?  Acoustic stuff?  You're having a larf aren't you Phil?  :lol:

I can't see what adding anything else would give me to be honest:

* Sig #41 and Henderson SC (my gigging guitars)
* The Tone Trinity (superb modern and vintage humbucker tones)
* CS Tele (for the rare occasion I want to play singlecoils)
* JV Squier Strat (only stays because it was my first electric guitar)

I prefer humbuckers to singlecoils, so the only slight gap is mini-hums and maybe P90s.  However, I'd never use them.

I guess I'll sit back and wait to see what Paul Smith comes up with.  He's bound to find something new to tempt me!  :roll:

We'll see...

What would be on your wishlist though? For me if a P90/soapbar DGT, especially if it was in black, turned up I might be in serious trouble. :)

[Twinfan]

Wishlist?  I'm not sure to be honest.  A Modern Eagle V with the 408 'Signature' pickups would be good, and likely the next guitar to have them, but it'll have the V12 not nitro finish (as the current ME Quattro does).  I'd want nitro purely for the feel.  It'd be too similar to the Private Stock Sigs to be worth buying too.

To be honest, the only thing that would grab me right now would be a used Modern Eagle 1 in Emerald Green.  I've been after one for years but I don't think one made it to Europe, and there's only a handful in the US.

Fair enough!  I don't like acoustic guitars - I find them extraordinarily uncomfortable to play - but I like the sound.  A piezo has some appeal, although of course you'd need the right equipment to play it through.

Interesting point about the different pickup types, made me realise I've got nearly all of them covered (apart from more "niche" things like Jags, Jazzmasters and lipstick pickups).  I like them all, but ultimately I come back to humbuckers and P-90s.

OK.... not tempted by something else with Narrowfields, maybe?

[Twinfan]

Nah, a bit too Stratty for me.  Great sounding if you like that hot-Strat sound, but no good to me as I'm not into the Fender tone.

I think the PS Sigs and SC245 do all the tones I like.  I got a great Bonamassa style tone through the 65 with the SC245 and a couple of pedals last night.  Switching to the Sig gaves me 'my' tone and felt like home.

I just wish I could get some more volume in the flat!

[Mr. Air]

Do the JV Squier get any play time at all, Dave, or has it ended its days as an item of sentimental value?
