What's YOUR next gear purchase?

[Robert]

Since we all have serious G.A.S problems, let's share what we have next "in the mail" or on the gear purchase list.

For me, I still have the 18 watter coming soon and I haven't paid for it all yet.

Next on my list is (I think so anyway) a Fuzz Factory! They are expensive but they seem so unearthly wacky and cool that I think I should just have one.

 

[t_ross33]

Took this for a test drive last week :drool: Different, but in a good way ude:

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Cool Trev! I know you are going to love a strat.

On my list is a Toneport (I am watching some auctions and weighing my options) and the GFS Lil Killer PUP and push/pull pot I need to finish up my Fully mod project so I can actually install those and Tone's DiMarizio Virtual Hot PAF 'bucker I bought from him a while back. After that, my next "gear" purchase is a new iMac to be used at home for my and my wife's home office purposes and to use for recording.

 

[Bloozcat]

The Tele build I mentioned in the Tele forum.

I have so many projects lined up now that are already paid for that once I finally get my butt in gear to complete them, it'll be like getting some new gear. I've got to clear the backlog before buying any more...

What is Koa?

 

[Spudman]

What is Koa?

Koa is a tone-wood used in the past mainly for making bass guitars.

 

[Spudman]

I'm getting a couple of hard cases for my Les Paul's and probably one of the new Xaviere guitars with Dream 180's.

 

[Bloozcat]

What is Koa?

Koa is a tone wood that is exclusively from Hawaii. It can be straight grained or highly figured. Tonnaly, it's similar to mahogany, but a little brighter. It's medium to heavy in weight.

I have a Koa Strat body that is awaiting it's final clear lacquer coats right now. With our weather about to change from steambath humid to reasonably dry, I'll be doing a bunch of spraying soon. The body is three piece, with a beautiful 2-piece bookmatched top laminate. I'll post some pics when it's done.

Two DIY projects (big surprise, huh? ):

• Firefly 1W tube amp before year-end. (Thanks to Tunghaichuan for turning me on to this nifty little project!)
  
  
• An 18W Marshall clone kit (haven't decided which one yet) in early '08.

 

[just strum]

My next purchases will be inexpensive items:

1) VFS2 dual foot switch

2) An inexpensive guitar strap - since day one, I have not been able to find an inexpensive strap that is comfortable and doesn't slip.

3) Strings

 

[ted s]

GFS pups and a pot kit for my Chinacaster.

 

[R_of_G]

It is prob still a bit down the road, but my next purchase will def be a bass. I am looking forward to looping my own bass lines anf getting to play with them on guitar. Will likely be some version of a Fender jazz bass.:AOK:

 

[Brian Krashpad]

I'm actually thinning the herd a bit.

Selling: Laney straight-front 4x12 cab
Randall 1x15 bass combo
DeArmond M-72 guitar

I'm hoping to clear at least $500 US if it all sells. Hopefully my ex-bandmate from Crash Pad will get a paycheck soon, he's spoken for the Laney cab for $150.

Unfortunately, the money will just go to pay bills.

 

[Robert]

R of G, I recommend the SX jazz bass from Rondo. I love mine.

Justs trum, as for guitar straps, I really like my Planet Waves wide strap. It didn't cost much.

 

[250Keith]

some day list would be,
LP Standard
A Strat of some kind
Reinhardt 18 Watt head
Avatar 212 with Greenbacks

For right now
Voodolab sparkle drive
and some kind of Chorus
and new tubes for my amp.

 

[t_ross33]

Cool Trev! I know you are going to love a strat.

Sir barrister, methinks thou dost presume that I shall purchaseth the koa stratocaster. I only testeth it out, yet it plays on my mind so. Methinks I may GASeth for the koa.

Oh, the humanity! ude:

It's pretty cool. Nice warm tone, the SD alnico II p'ups add their own flavor. I also like the idea that not everyone and his dog is going to have one. The only thing I'm unsure of is the two-point trem...

I'll have to give 'er another test drive. Hmmm... Christmas IS just around the corner. Maybe if I'm good... :rotflmao:

Trev

 

[kerc]

Selling two guitars as I type...the SX Tele and a Dean Palomino....

 

[LagrangeCalvert]

My next purchase...hopefully within the next month.

Peavey Windsor head.

Some new speakers for a 4x12 cab.....two Eminence Govenors and two Eminence Texas Heats.....look at the tone chart at eminence.com to see why I am doing it rather than just getting greenbacks....the reviews on the Eminence speakers are awesome and I own a swamp thang open back cab....you talk about a great U.S. voiced blues speakers with tons of low end grunt!

 

[marnold]

Mine probably won't be until at least Christmas or my birthday (early February):
1) Two Dimarzio Area '61 pups for my Floyd
2) Seymour Duncan Screamin' Demon TB-12 for my Floyd
3) Peavey Zodiac bass in butterscotch

I'm not sure what order 2 and 3 would come in. #1 is the priority right now. Even with buying all three pups, I'll come in right about the same price my Floyd was originally selling for. The Screamin' Demon isn't a necessity at this point since I don't mind the humbucker on the Floyd other than the fact that it likes to feedback.

If it's good enough for Jeff Beck I'm sure you won't have any issues with it.

 

[tjcurtin1]

Hmmmm... The question ought to be "What WOULDN"T you be buying next if you weren't a member of this forum"!:whatever:

I'm just about to plug in the Fab overdrive pedal that got delivered today, so I'll I'll have to wait till next week to make fun of all you who are endlessly and pathetically in thrall to GAS...:spank:

 

[Spudman]

Hmmmm... The question ought to be "What WOULDN"T you be buying next if you weren't a member of this forum"!:whatever:

Ouch! Man that stung. Yet....very true.

I've got my LP cases coming.

ya, but he KNOWS what he's doing... me on the other hand...:messedup: :saw: :thwap: Oh well, yet another excuse to play more guitar. "But Dear, I have to learn how to play with this wammy bar before our gig Saturday. I promise I'll mow the grass next fall!"

[tot_Ou_tard]

For me it's an easy question.

Answer: A guitar.

It's just *which* guitar that is the hard part .

[Lev]

A midi keyboard - I'm getting into VSTi's and recording - it's very time consuming trying to create Midi tracks without a keyboard (hence I haven't had time to post here lately).

 

[elavd]

A Gibson ES-335 (or a 335 styled guitar)

 

[YerDugliness]

I'm retiring in December after 32 years in public education. I'm going to celebrate with the purchase of a fine quality, acoustic steel string guitar--looking at the $1,500 to $2,000 range.

It was going to be a Washburn until their U.S. handbuilt shop manager decided to show his anal orifice orientation to all concerned.

Now, I don't know, but the search goes on. I have a couple of months to decide.

[Algonquin]

I'll likely replace the bridge p/u in my Epi to match the one in the neck... but not in a great hurry for that.

I think I may pick up a couple extra guitar stands so I'll have somewhere safe to put it down when I step away for the PC and such... just an excuse to visit the music store I guess.

Maybe I'll just as Santa for the P/U, because I don't think he'll be able to get a 17' Kevlar canoe down our chimney...

Cheers :beer:
