Your year in gear - 2019 edition

Stevepage

Bought:
Gibson LP Traditional
Mesa Mark IV

Sold:
Helix LT
Alto speaker
Squier 7 string

Regret:
Nope, I think I've made the right decisions.

Clear out:
Nothing on the cards. I'm very happy with what I have. 

I may get a 2x12 cab next year for the Mesa. Might be time for a new locking term for my Jackson. Need some more effects too.

Vibetronic

In...barely anything as I continue to downsize to stuff I actually use. Having loads of guitars is cool, but starts to get annoying when there isn't room to move. 

In:

Boss Mini Katana (purely for practical teaching purposes!)
Ibanez AZ (tomorrow - although this doesn't really count as it's a trade...)

Out:

Vigier Surfreter (trade for the above)
Ibanez RG with Kaoss Pad
Old no-name custom superstrat sold back to previous owner
PRS CE22
ENGL 4x12 cab

Soon to go: Laney Iommi amp of some description. Can't remember what it is as I've lent it to someone. Did think about selling the Floral Jem...but I can't. Likewise the swirl Universe. 

Teflon

For me:

In:

'78 Strat dug out of my attic after 30+ yrs
Yamaha THR5

Burns Legend Custom Delux (can you spot a trend here?)

Out:

Nothing!

Soon to get:

Yamaha Magic Stomp (or similar)

Cliff

@Vibetronic ; I'm sorry, selling the swirl Universe? Are you mad?!

I meant 'did think about' selling it, for about 2 minutes - I'm definitely NOT selling it Far too unique and rare, they go for stupid money now!

thegummy

In:

Strat with Player body, American Standard neck and Bare Knuckle humbuckers

Musicman Ray 4 bass (if it actually gets shipped to the shop before the end of the year, been waiting since August)

Out:

PRS SE Custom 24

Gibson Les Paul Tribute


Biggest change for me, though, was moving from the Atomic Amplifire to Overloud TH-U on the PC for all my effects and amp simulation.

DartmoorHedgehog

I'm pretty happy with what I've got music-kit-wise.  This year all I've done is:
Bought - saxophone case, saxophone stand, clip-on microphone (again for sax)
Sold - crappy old saxophone gig bag.

So no guitar-related stuff at all.  I've been playing sax on a few songs in the band I mostly play guitar in, hence the need for a more protective case and stand for my big old baritone.

And before the end of the year I may well buy a new pair of headphones...

EDIT: Just remembered, I did buy a Creamback H75 speaker and sold the V30 it replaced, so there was some guitar stuff.

Just pedals!

Big Box DMM
Boss OD-1 1980

So going by the 'Out' list I realise I contradicted myself from another thread when I said I have flipped more boutique than Boss, the thing is I actually miss all of these Boss offerings including the FZ-2, OD-1, CE-5, DSD-2. Not once have I thought about that RYRA.

Roger Mayer Octavia - didn't sound as good as the digital model

Fender 65 DRRI - turned out to be stolen goods from Cash Generator, who'd have thought it

In but will be out soon:

In, intend to keep:

Resolution for 2020:

Have an amp setup ready to use if I ever need it

Get my acoustic guitar set up

Get and understand a Microkorg synth

Sell the rest of my surplus stuff I don't need, in part to fund the above three.
