you know you have GAS when...

you walk into guitar center and walk out short $500 because you felt the need to put a soldano hot rod 50 with the serial # 17 on hold.

one more amp wont hurt anything i guess.... except my checking account.

No way. It's gear acquiring syndrome. I mean who could own just one amp/pedal/whatever. The more the better and never enough

Buying new gear is an awesome feeling, and it's quite addicting. I usually don't even look in gear forum because i know i'll end up going out and buying something I don't really need right now.

it's only on hold right now .... i walked in, hung out... showing all my buddys that work there my splawn... then i noticed they had a soldano hotrod 50 so i started jamming on it... it sounded really good for a 6l6 amp, i was looking at the back and noticed the serial # was 17!!! my buddy knocked $200 off the price tag and said if i could give him $500 down on it, he'd hold it as long as i needed.

so hopefully it will come home with me within a couple weeks. and then there will be pictures. or if i can get approved for some kind of 90 day same as cash thing.

it's 50w, but that fucker is LOUD, i mean the knobs litterally go to 11.

i'm excited, i set it up for the most amazing crunch tones i could get out of it, and i was jamming with a zakk wyld overdrive over that to get such an awesome tight high gain sound. no doubt it's going to rock more with my maxon od808.

i still prefer the splawn as a naked amp. but with my ernie ball volume and maxon overdrive, the soldano isnt going to fuck around.

time for me to go do some overtime so i can bring this bad boy home!

I just bought a 31 band EQ unit and an older Aphex Aural Exciter all for 120$. I'm going to sell a few more things, when I'm all done I will have :


EQ --> Exciter --> Crate GT350 --> One Genz Benz 2x12 with 400 watt Eminence Delta Pros, mono'd out to a Peavey 1x15 Black Widow ( hey, the cab sounds good ), and that's one input of the amp. The other is going to push hopefully a Marshall 1960 4x12 cab, if not that then I'll go with Avatar. Everything will be running 350 watts at 2 ohms

What I would REALLY like, is two boutique-quality 4x12's, and two Rivera Los Lobottom 2x12 active guitar subwoofers. But that would set me back financially quite a ways, so I'm going to have to wait.

I'm allright, some shit hit the fan here lately and friends need me right now, which is why I haven't been around last month, I'll probably be back in a couple of weeks.. Nihilist has been added to watch my forum poetry and Darko will keep tabs on the gear-forum while I'm gone...

heres a recent pciture of my gear. didnt think it deserved its own thread.

the second one is my bassman,
the third one is my messed up finger after smashing it and it spliting in two. smashed it bording up for stupid rita

EDIT: forgot to mention my 4x12 cab. its an acoustic (brand) and i cant figure out how to take it apart. its held together looks like with the corner protectors. and they have some kinda rivet thing that is ungetoutable. need to know what kinda speakers.

I just got a DiMarzio pickup for my accoustic. $70.
Also got some Shaller starp locks for both my guitars. I don't think I'll be doing the Warlock, though, because the strap pins are in the back of the guitar and make it uncomfortable enough to play sitting down as it is, the strap locks are about twice the size and would probably cause me some pain.
Plus, I plan to get rid of the Warlock in the near future and get a Les Paul knockoff from Rondo Music.
Got a bag of Heavy Dunlop picks, too. The see through yellowish ones with a picture of a white rhino on 'em. Good stuff.

the last picture is the corner connector. the line going down is not a panel its a rip in tolex. they're all over the back.
Edit: ive replaced all the tubes in my amp exept for the one 12au7 and know i come to find that i think thats the one thats been giving me the trouble the entire time! so... thats the reverb tube ( im pretty sure). does it matter what kind i get? i can get jj or eh for 8 bucks.

well, there is no way to get the back off, and the speakers are front loaded. so the grill needs to come off.

my basscab didnt have screws, i had to wedge a screwdriver and pry it off. it was weird.
