Yeah, No, Definitely.
Duuuude my 40th anniversary kicks absolute ass. Which one you got? I got the teal one. The necks one these are fantastic.
What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

All of them.
But yeah the Vintage Series Sonic Blue Strat is the color I got for that model:
(The only one I don’t own is the 40th Anniversary block Tele, I only have a Vintage Series Dakota Red which I’ll put against any Tele including Suhr or Fender USA.)

Weird website, I wasn't sure if it was some kind of Chinese store front passing off stuff as being Mark Knopfler style at first
But if there is one thing I've learned from thegearpage is the more outdated a website looks the more mojo the product has
Bound necks with block inlays needs to be more normalized across all Fender models, looks so good.All of them.

That Ruby Strat weighs as much as a Norlin Les Paul too. Like it was carved from an old coffee table. Has tone for days and does a killer Eric Johnson impression.
Vouching for the 40th Anniversary Vintage. I grabbed mine for about $250 brand new and I felt like it was a good enough guitar that I'd buy it at its original ~$500 price.
This is the only Chase Bliss pedal that I truly lusted after lol. It sounds great and packs so much in a relatively small footprint.
I actually haven't listened or read up on anything about the Dark World! I'd like to try the Mood one of these days, though. Seems like a lovely pedal that you can do as much or as little with as you want, and the engineering nerd in me adores how much they were able to cram in what's basically a normal-sized pedal.
Ah so like 99% of CBA buyers.
My goal this year is to learn how to properly use, and to use more, my FX pedals:
Line6 DL4 Reissue
TC Electronic Infinite Sustainer
Boss SDE3000 EVH
Keeley Hydra
Boss RE2
Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail
EHX HOF2 Mini
NUX Rocktary
Mooer X2 Harmony
Off the top of my head ones I’ve bought and don’t regularly use.
The JA New Wave and Boss Slicer I immediately bonded with.

I know I often joke about buying pedals I don't need and don't use, but Chase Bliss pedals are the ones I want the most and play the least. Most of them I have never heard used in a musical context at all. Brilliant engineering though.

Ordered:
- Walrus Audio Phoenix. Reverb dork never responded to my offer for their Phoenix, nor my message about shipping to AK, ended up getting a better deal on a unit in better condition from Sweetwater Gear Exchange anyway.
- Offset Black SS Hipshot saddles for my Aria Pro, hoping they brighten it up versus the cheapo brass saddles I got off the 'zon. They were labeled as "headless" because they have a channel for the strings to feed through from a top-mount setup, but the dimensions look to be identical where it counts with the saddles I'm using now. Surprisingly hard to find offset SS strat-style saddles.
- B-stock (mint condition, just a return) Pedaltrain Pro with a wheeled tour case. Decent price cut on a hefty pricetag and very affordable shipping, versus some other dweeb who wanted 200 fucking dollars on top of the new price for used hardware.
I've been using DIY boards forever, they've always done the job and I've gotten pretty decent at making cheap, functional, nice-looking boards, but I decided it was time to buy once and cry once. I looked at power supply mounting brackets briefly and thought "aw hell I can do that!" So there's at least one more DIY pedalboard adventure in my future.
Anyway, time to stop spending money on gear for a while.
(famous last words, I know)
I just got an AnalogMan Sunface NKT LG in a trade. I never in a billion years would have bought such an insanely expensive boomer pedal, but it's a rad fuzz and its previous owner was happy to get rid of it because it had been sitting in the box basically since he bought it. So, I'd like to say Thank You For Your Service
to you and everyone else out there buying booteek pedals, sitting on them until finally getting tired of looking at them, and making them accessible in mint condition to proles like me.

Avantone CLA-100 power amp and a Boss Dimension D pedal from Sam Ash since they sent me a coupon I couldn't refuse
@StevenC I accidentally grabbed the Roche instead of the 10/10 when I was looking to play some metal riffs in Drop C# with the 5150 series lol. I didn’t even realize so it definitely has more gain on tap than expected. It was only set to about 60% max gain and there was no other drive in the rig other than the combo amp set clean with built in boost adding volume. It had a cranked Marshall JCM thing going on at least in my head.

Nah, nah, that's a fuzz. We can all use a fuzz. More people have been to the moon than there are guitarists who can use a Mood and a Dark World together to create a song that people will listen to.

Whoaaa No Way!!!
Anyone ever had a speaker's resistance be wildly off when measuring at the terminals? I was finishing wiring up that Krank 4x12 and went to check that the inputs were both reading correctly and I noticed one side was at like 21 ohms. The other side was about 13.5, which should be right for a total load of 16 ohms. I decided to measure all the speakers and 3 out of the 4 were around 6.4 ohms, which is right since they're marked 8, but my WGS Vet 30 measures 13ish and it's supposed to be 8... I'm wondering if they mislabeled a 16 ohm as an 8.

A 16 ohm speaker will normally measure about 13-14, so it sounds like that is a 16 ohm speaker.

There's a CBA Habit on my local marketplace, and the description says "I'm too dumb to actually use this effectively. Endless possibilities if you have a big brain!"
It's too expensive for me to want to find out if I'm smart enough... I can make illegible smears of ambient bullshit a lot cheaper than that!
