With all the negative stuff floating around these days, I figured it would be cool to post all of the cool new gear we all acquired in 2009. It doesn't matter if you just bought a new strap or a new slide, feel free to post it.

 

Here is what I picked up this year:

 

Ibanez S-Classic

1992 Ibanez RG 470, MIJ

 

SN851000.jpg

 

2001 Ibanez RG 320 Basket Case that I resurrected

 

SN851016.jpg

 

My new main amp, a Crate Power Block

 

SN850958.jpg

 

And a few pedals; Ive been on a recent pedal buying binge:

 

BBE Two Timer Delay

Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer

Boss BF-2 Flanger (MIJ)

Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive

Boss DS-1 Distortion

Boss AW-3 Dynamic Wah

DOD Grunge

 

 

And in case it isn't painfully obvious by now, I'm an admitted Ibanez whore. :thu:

 

 

So, bring on your 2009 gear purchases/trades and here's hoping the new year will bring more good deals and good gear to make us all happy!!!!

If I hadn't blown $999 on the Ric, I could have bought 5 or 6 cool guitars.

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek there. I realize that I got a great deal.


:)

It did alter my plans for a Kay reissue though.

 

It was one long as wait for that Kay. I ordered at the beginning of Sept with expect availability of 9/28. It finally rolled up to the doorstep last week. I'm pretty happy with it, but I wouldn't mind a little more output from the pickups. But a couple days ago I ran it through my Fender Twin with it cranked up a bit, and it had me doing a poor man's Chuck Berry duck walk dance around the LR. Pretty fun. Got a real tacky leopard strap to go with it too. :o

I went looking for your Kay NGD pics & couldn't find any.


:mad:

:cop:

 

Yeah, my wife took back her camera, so my NGD threads came to a screechin halt. Plus I was afraid JJ might whoop my ass and make me post a clip if I kept up NGD posts for every profligate venture. :lol:

 

But my wife bought me my own camera for Christmas, so once I get it set up, the Kay Twin will be the first one up. I have to say, for the price of $640 (using one of the 20% off deals) I'm pretty impressed with the guitar. Nice looking 3-D flamey top, the fit and finish looks at least average, and it's got some incredible warmth and depth to its tone, plus the case is cool and worth a bill by itself. Struck me as sounding a bit more Rockabilly/Gretsch-ish than bluesy (just less vibey), but that was probably just my mood that day. Maybe I'll put on my Fedora once I get around to plugging it into my Bassman. But it did sound like ducktails through that Twin RRI. ;)

Limited editon Gibson Autumn Burst SG:

Beautiful.

 

I was drooling over one of those on the Sweetwater Gallery. I was about ready to lose to temptation but someone bought the one I was in love with. That and already having a Diablo made me hold back but I was having some serious GAS for one of those.

A Stagg CA-10 practice amp, which is my main amp now... I don't have enough money to get a giant stack or something like all you guys have. But it is a smashing little amp, certainly good enough tone. And I got it in a trade over another forum for a shitty tuner that came in my first electric guitar's starter pack!!!! :D

 

I also acquired an Ashton GP10 cable from that shit-hole of a music store I used to go to... wankers, the jacks are bent at both ends now. Good sound quality, but rubbish cable. Grr.

 

And, a loaded Strat body from eBay for my christmas present. It's gonna be a while to save yet, but I've got a lot in mind for it :D
