Tone Taster Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 This premise may seem ridiculous, but isn't there a way to conceive all of the gear you need vs. what you want? Maybe posting it here will help you work it out so you don't buy a bunch of unnecessary crap you don't need. Amp-wise I need a new speaker and some new tubes Another 1-12 cabinet w/speaker Pedals OCD and a booster Midi pedal Volume ped wah DI Box ABC box Guitar Entire outfit/hardware for my latest project axe New electronics/pickups to replace the strats god awful lace sensors and average stock electronics 335-style axe Larivee acoustic w/electronics Acoustic gtr Amp Once I get that stuff, i should be set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A String Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 There is no hope for me. Until I own a full set of vintage equipment (Amps, guitars, effects etc.) I will always be trying to upgrade. I want all of the instruments as well as all the toys. I want great recording gear, speakers, mixing boards, effect racks. I want a studio... As I said there is no hope for me. It looks like you might make it though...go on with out me. Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a finite thing...needs/wants are always in flux. Most everything I want...I need...or I could put to use sooner or later. Yeah...there are things I have in the racks that I don't use every single day...but in the studio, you gotta' cover the unexpected and occasional requirements. Heck...last year I tried thinning out a few items...and I only managed to find a handful of things to sell off on eBay... ...then I took the money from those sales, and bought more/new gear! miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Justus A. Picker Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 There's no endgame! Until Taylor came out with their new GS series I didn't know I needed one. Wonderful tone, and I don't have one.... Before DAWs were invented (by Al Gore I think...) my four track porta-studio was cool. Etc., etc. They keep moving the goal-line, introducing new tools, refining the ones we already have. As far as electrics go, if you have a jazz box, a tele, a strat, a 12 string and a Les Paul you've pretty much covered your tonal bases. For today. Who knows about tomorrow? http://www.smokedsalmonband.com/exile/exile1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geoff Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Actually, I'm pretty happy with the guitars I have now. It's the amp: and the effects........... G.

Greg B. Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I'm pretty happy with the gear that I currently have...BBUUUUTTTT...I still want a few(ok, a bunch!) more guitars and I would be content to have a whole room full of amps of all shapes, sizes, colors, sounds, etc. Right now I am about at the end of the wife not saying much about all my stuff rope. But fortunately, as I said before, I am pretty happy with the gear that I have now. Avoid playing the amplifier at a volume setting high enough to produce a distorted sound through the speaker-Fender Guitar Course-1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windjammer Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I think I am only happy with the gear I have unless I hear about or see something cool, and then all of a sudden I realize that I wantit even though I didn't know it existed or wasn't in my radar. Endgame? Nah, dream on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Iverson Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I'd definitely like to get a double-neck electric mandolin, with both 5 and 8 string necks. And a cello. And a good classical guitar, that I could electrify if needed. And yes I DO need a good electric guitar, one of these days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone Taster Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yeah, I gues after my endgame list above, I could start stockpiling some NOS tubes and maybe pick up an Allesandro Working Dog amp. Maybe the Line 6 Filter pro, a Dr Z Route 66, THD Univalve or Bivalve, etc . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hopefully this will do it for me. I just bought: Epiphone Valve JR Head A/B pedal MXR Double Shot Distortion Danelectro Beyond Metal distorion If I have a Les Paul, Strat, and a ESP MII, I might stop buying gear. Until new gear is invented, then I'll want to buy it. Of course, there's all that stuff that's out of my leauge. Should I strive to aquire it? How may of you out there can say you wouldn't like to have some of this?: http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g30/scmcfaul/1jpmainamps1.jpg What a horrible night to have a curse.

PBBPaul Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I have way more than I need right now but I'd like to get a few more guitars - a Tele, an SG, a National Tri-Cone reso, a vintage ES335 and a Taylor T5. I have a half-dozen or so amps that would be hard to improve on so other than maybe a Vibro King, I'm pretty set there.

revolead Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Xplorer - you're a Petrucci fan, huh? Even if you're not, I'd love a Mark IV. There's nothing like it. Though I'd also like a 1987 Marshall JCM800, a 1973 Fender Twin Reverb (like the one I saw in the shop that I couldn't afford. I know, silverface, but if you heard her she was beautiful. ) Oh yeah, and I still need a Les Paul studio in Wine Red and a 1957 Fender Strat. Then, I'd be in business. You guys are right. There is no end. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
