college tuition...that counts as gear, right?

 

 

No, ok...um...Probably an SG Faded Special with some custom work on the fretboard, then a Les Paul Classic Antique, or if I can bend it that way, a Silverburst Custom used, then a Marshall head (not too high end, just good enough to get away with at a large gig) and an orange 4x12 cab. I think I'd be done for a while...save whatever's left

Is this a "start from scratch" concept or is it an "in addition to" type deal?


Fender DRRI

Fender Classic '60s Player Strat in Sonic Blue

Fender Baja Tele


That's about half of 5 large. I'll reserve the other half until I find out the conditions of the shopping spree.

 

Sadly, those three alone would easily go over $5k AUD... :cry:

Excellent. Alright then, where was I?

 

Fender '65 DRRI .. $950

Fender Classic '60s Player Strat in Sonic Blue .. $800

Fender Baja Tele .. $500

Fender '62 Jazzmaster in Ocean Turquoise w/mint PG .. $1450

Fender '59 Bassman Reissue (used at my local GC) .. $850

BG-Pups V60 Strat pups for a projects .. $150

 

 

That leaves me with $300 for extra gadgets like pots, pickguards, paint from reranch, and misc. parts for projects.

 

I'd love to get a nice shiny new Strat in Ice Blue Metallic too but then I'd have to give up the Jazzmaster. I have an MIM that is Ice Blue Metallic and it's an absolutely beautiful color.

 

 

 

EDIT: As one can see, I'm pretty much a Fender guy.

... what? Fun experiences serve as inspiration for song-writing, so they should count, right? ;)
