What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[narad]

I managed to grab a Modulus strat from Dave's Guitars for what I think was a pretty good price ($1075). I've been after one of those carbon graphite neck guitars for a long time, so hoping it sounds as good as it looks. Sadly Dave's deleted the original listing it seems, just have one pic and it's of the body:

Classic Narad™ strip and refin planned? I had no idea Modulus even made regular guitars but that makes sense. I imagine it didn't come stock H-H-H?

I looked at that briefly but it's so off my radar that I didn't want to mess with potential issues on a 30+ year old guitar that I didn't know the value of. I did see it had a T-top in the middle which will at least recoup some of the cost should you decide to change pickups/config. Dave's had a Zion a little while back for around the same price that I looked at and said that's a Narad guitar. I saved a picture of it somewhere.

My hope is this will replace my ESP strip down and refin plan for a Roland GK guitar. Yea, it wasn't HHH and the routing is a bit rough, but I'll probably mod it for a floyd and make it SSS with the GK pickups.

Ah dude, I'm looking for a Zion Maybe this can substitute, but yea, that's definitely a Narad guitar. Fortunately I'm in the US this week to grab this, otherwise I usually just watch them come and go on Reverb.

yeah, this was it. I had it in my cart, but it sold while I hemmed and hawed on it. If I decide I want an Anderson bowling ball down the line I'll probably just get the real thing too.

How much was that again? I hear you on the TA bowling ball, but still, this was A+++ color combo.

Picked up a cheap Carvin 412, gonna throw some Mojotone British Vintages and Greyhounds in an X pattern. I hear the cabs are built like tanks will report back.

When you pull the speakers look at how the baffles are mounted. Mine were joined at every edge and glued. Even 1960A’s aren’t that stable! It’s pretty fucking cool that these can still be had cheap.

I think it was 1100, maybe 1200

Good to hear! It hasn't arrived yet, but it looks to be a 1989 model with Carvin British Vintage 12's in it. If anyone has any info on those that'd be awesome. Looks like they're made by eminence?

Yup, eminence made! Basically a proto-redcoat according to @wheresthefbomb

They sounded pretty damn good to my ears, a little much in the 550hz-ish and smooth in the high mids for my taste but they were pretty cool! According Mike from Omega they are one of Mick Thomson’s favorite speaker.

I found them to be pretty tight in the low end, they’d probably be awesome with something bright and big sounding (maybe a res and pres cranked 5150 variant or a heavily boosted recto of some kind).
