What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

Ordered a Darkglass 212 to go with my AO500.

The AO500 rips, although honestly it doesn't do anything that NDSP parallax doesn't, besides get me away from my pc. I was surprised to learn that Nolly ended up using Parallax on Periphery's latest album, considering all the Darkglass gear he's got, but I get it.

Anyone own a Dean Exile Select? Thoughts?

I've got the 100, fantastic amps!

It's official, this is coming home (at some point, currently in route to a forwarder in Japan). Thanks to narad for pointing this one out to me

Hopefully the internals are all good.

Yep old amps are always a gamble

Finally I win something at auction without the price getting jacked up so high I feel awful about winning it:

Though tbf, this is not a very popular brand. But full maple body... that's my thing.

^I like the little cover on the truss rod adjustment. Seems like it would be a little extra annoyance to remove for adjustments, but it's a nice touch and I like that the brand wants to protect the area.

Cool score.

Yea, form over function. I previously had a lower end Blade -- came in an ESP case with the strat shape so I had to get it for that. It was pretty good, especially for the price -- probably like $400 for the guitar, it was more like a $900 guitar. This appears to be some sort of higher end custom shop version -- I've seen a few before, all pretty cool specs, nice figured tops. They say switzerland, but they're all MIJ as far as I can tell. The cool thing about them is they have an active preamp and you can use a screwdriver through holes in the backpanel and adjust B/M/T and I think output. That's what the mini toggle on the front is for.

Ordered a bunch of tall amp feet. Leather amp handles are awful and make stacking amps a pain in the ass.

Duuuuude I love Levinson stuff, so pretty.

I guess I shouldn't be too upset I got bid up on a Kubicki strat when I just watched the Knopfler MK1 estimated at 8k GBP go for 400k GBP. Damn.

Those estimates were idiotically low...

That's cool! What else can you tell me about it? I'm only seeing that one picture, npt sure if there should be anything more there.

 

[Jon Pearson]

Welp ...... I bought a Vola. So uh. I'll tell y'all about when it gets here.

 

[budda]

Saw a nice sunburst am pro strat for $1500cdn. Got to thinking.

Then found an ash one and a black one for the same price in 2 other cities.

probably subside by tomorrow but good to know lol.

I found a Bluguitar Amp1 Iridium for a stupid price and bought it. I guess this is the GAS god's way of repaying me for snatching yet another TC100 from my grasp

God I want another Iridium so badly. I still feel like the AmpX is gonna be a long ways to go and will end up being more expensive than they estimated lol

Here's a couple other pics:

But beyond that, I don't know much. Will see when it lands. Already looking up acrylic buffing compounds

The folks on TGP have been buzzing all day about the auction. It's funny that some of them thought they had a chance at any of the guitars. Some of them are annoyed at the low estimates.

Yea... those idiots...

(Secretly thought that maybe it would go around 80k GBP, and while I wouldn't spend it, it was interesting considering that if I really was a mark fan and went all in, it would sort of be possible. Like you're not supposed to own hero guitars as a regular person. But alas, even in the daydream it was not to be)

The Amp X seems interesting but idk how well the analog modeling bullshit is actually going to work. I wasn't super impressed with the one demo I saw of the modeling tbh.
Hopefully the Iridium is cool and fills a niche I don't already have an amp for. Otherwise it'll go on the chopping block lol
