Washburn wi66?
Washburn f10s
katana50
Out
nothing
still on the lookout for a nice small bodied acoustic or electro..
In then out -
Ibanez Artcore AS73 Semi, Squier ‘72 Thinline, Raygun Relic LP Jr. All bought for experimentation reasons and never intended to keep.
Gibson LP Special - great guitar but didn’t fix the things I don’t like about Gibson’s.
In and kept -
Ibanez Talman shortscale bass, amazing value and more than adequate enough for my bass talent!
Suhr Alt T Pro - early days but a belting guitar.
Out -
Not yet sold but I’ll off-load Baby Taylor Mahogany and USA Schecter PT.
Basically will see me exit the year with a mere 3 electrics.

Amps:
Trusty Carr Sportman never at risk. Just been pissing about with small headphone type solutions in Boss GT001, Vox multi fx thingy, Blackstar Fly, Katana Mini. All sold as none quite hit the spot.
Pedals:
Hhhmmm, not too bad a year, a few trems bought and sold to get to the Basic Audio Throbby, Skreddy Swirl replaced with Drybell Vibe Machine 2, also added a mission expression pedal. A few other bits and bobs such as power supply and cables etc etc.

The Private Stock still blows me away way to good for me but no point hanging on for the rainy day at my age.

The Greco 1200 has been a revelation as to what a great Les Paul can sound like.
And the Katana is just great.

This has been my p90 modding platform for the year SE ONE
amazing build for no money

Nothing out due to lack of time and travelling but 2018 will hopefully be better to lose a few.

Out:
Nothing
That's my quietest year for a very, very long time. And there's nothing in particular on my want list, although I do feel like buying "something", I just don't know what. I missed a couple of interesting guitars on eBay by dithering, I've got out of the spending habit.

I wouldn't mind selling my 1975 Orange Reverb Twin 2x12 combo, but that's unlikely to happen before the new year.
In:
- Rickenbacker 4001 mapleglo (2010) - this came up cheap, and near mint!
- Status Eclipse 5-string - a spare 5-string
- Gibson SG Special (2006) - I always wanted an SG and this came up when I sold a bass
- Slammer by Hamer Special - nothing special really, except that it's a surprisingly good guitar
- Ovation Applause AO 128 acoustic - Ovation's budget range
- Washburn KC-40V superstrat - it's got a whammy bar
- Fender Strat MIM - bought to do up & sell, but I like it and I've just added a Roland GK-3 synth pickup
- Zenta 70s bass - vintage bass in really good nick
- MM Sterling Sub 5 - someone was selling it for ages and had no takers, so I had it

- Roland PK-5A MIDI pedals - to play the Minitaur
- Roland JV-1010 MIDI synth - supplement the Minitaur with high/orchestral/vintage synth sounds

- Roland JV-35 - an OK keyboard to use as a MIDI controller
- Trace Elliot 2103 (2x10 + 2x6)
- Markbass LM Black Line 250
- Roland Space Echo - cool, even emulates the tape speeding up/slowing down
- EH Synth 9 - turns your bass into an Oberheim (and others)
- EH Soul Food bass - a not too intrusive distortion
- Boss SYB-5 Bass Synth - a few interesting sounds
- Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive - one of those standard pedals
