Unless the speakers need additional bass for all of your guitars, you might consider changing the Strat's pickups. Bare Knuckle Pickups makes a few Strat pickups with fuller bass than most Fender pickups come with. Check out the Vintage Hot series in particular. http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/...php?cat=strats

The demos made by Robert of his new Hell Guitar No. 2 (T-style) has the Bare Knuckles "Boss" Tele pickups, which have a great sounding and rich bass range.

Dude. That's all I can say, just . . . dude.

Haha, well there's a lot of it, anyhow. But the majority is funky DIY stuff made of disparate things thrown together, and none is really droolworthy in a boutique or collectible kinda way.

It is kinda cool that I could probably simultaneously backline 3 power trios if I had too, though.

[sunvalleylaw]

Except I find funky, functional stuff that sounds good almost more droolworthy than collectible type stuff. Except maybe a true original late 50's Bassman. That I might choose to collect.

Awesome collection, Brian!

[Brian Krashpad]

Thanks guys. Basically what's fallen into my lap over the years. I don't really ever go out looking for stuff. I promise!

[FrankenFretter***]

Yeah Brian, you have some cool stuff! That old Sunn 2000 is way cool. I really like your cobbled-together stuff, too. Shweet!

[Brian Krashpad]

Thanks fellers. Almost all of it works! The bottom cab to the Super has a bad connector wire that I need to re-solder, and I may have blowed up that Peavey 2x10, last couple times I tried to use it it was all distorty. Other than that, and the Super being in desperate need of a new grille for purely cosmetic purposes, I'm pretty sure everything is functioning amp-wise.

I did leave out my "PA gear," such as it is. I have an old Tapco 6000R 6-channel mixer, an old Peavey "EIGHT HUNDRED" 8-channel mixer, and a Peavey XR-500 5-channel 130W (@ 4 ohms, prolly around 100W at 8 ohms) mixer amp. Both the first two of those have some missing/busted knobs, but are still usable. I used to have a couple small monitors but never used them so I sold them. For mains I have some old Kasino columns, I think each has 4 10"s. The input jack on one of those needs fixing, but I shudder to think how many screws that would entail taking out of the back panel.

And of course around 3 mics (one an actual SM-57, haha!) with an equal number of mic stands, and the necessary cables.
