Lol that's the first thing I thought "well he's got rid of the dog"

That's a very nice setup though, lovely basses, some nice guitars, lovely couple of amps. Also like the acoustic tiles, very nice!

For me, this year I got a Fender Classic 50s Precision, a practice bass amp (which I oddly only use now as a vocal monitor in the practice studio) and a behringer sansamp clone for the bass.

For guitar the only thing I got was a SD 59 pickup but ended up preferring the stock. Plan on buying locking tuners and a tort pickguard for my Strat.

Told you I wasn't finished...



03 Gold Top Standard and 03 Classic...

(sorry @legionreturns more GT)





The Gold Top is getting a set of OX4 Hot Duanes.

And I'm pretty impressed with the Classic - even though I don't really like thinner necks on Les Pauls. So if anyone has an early black one, you know what to do

I bet that gt is gonna be stunning with ox4s.

Might have to put that classic through it’s paces though.

More than welcome anytime mate. Spent some time cleaning it up, setting it up properly (it was a mess!) and of course ditching the pickguard. Looks much better now....

Not loads of new stuff, more modding;

Bought a joyo american sound to go in front of my champion 600, great purchase.

My early 90s Arion distortion had some sort of breakdown and only works on one setting.  Unfortunately not a very pleasant setting.

Bought and then sold a Gretsch G5222

My Fender Champion 600 was already modded with a 5F1 switch and a negative feedback loop (still don't know what that means) plus better valves.  After buying the G5222 because I wanted a tweed cab for it, then decided to butcher and recover the original cab, happy with how it turned out as per picture.

Have just bought a Marshall ED1 pedal but not got it yet.

Hoping to sell my roadworn tele (still for sale will take £675 for a quick sale) and buy a classic vibe tele as I have decided modding the sh#t out of things is actually my thing!

https://i.imgur.com/va1tvHU.jpg

Have added a Marshall ED1 Compressor from Grunfeld and a TC Ditto Looper from Sherpa Man.  My pedal board will now have the ED1, TC Mojo Mojo,, TC Ditto and Boss FRV1 reverb.  Withdrawn the tele as no interest and the classic vibe went.  Will re-assess in the new year if I want to sell it.
