Best music gear purchase of 2010

[Bishop5150]

Definitely my Skull and Bones guitar. Love this thing.

Picked up a another 5150 III so I could leave one at my studio for band rehearsals and one at home to take to gigs.

Picked up a 5150 III cab to go with the spare black head

My back likes these aquistions the most. A Mesa 2x12 Recto cab and a 5150 combo for a small stereo rig to take to shows.

 

[Dimebag11]

easy for me....Mako Mak4 and my Warmoth Les Paul (Black Korina)

 

[Doubleneck]

I had been looking for this guitar for quite some time with no avail, then one day the planets aligned.

 

[gtr31]

My baron M60 ..and the custom B60 set to arrive in early 2011

 

[M.Axel]

I went from a roland cube60 to an Egnater Mod50 + G-flex212 + Bareknuckle pickups
I also have (on order) 2 StoneAge 2x12 with scumbacks j75lhdc and a custom guitar made by Mr. Will Stinnett

Love that...best looking Charvel I've seen. Now get it looking road worn.

I actually just bought an MXR M-66 Classic Overdrive at guitar center the other day...been looking into the GT OD, heard this was the same circuit (in cheaper packaging), which in turn is OD 808-like...for 39.99, can't beat it...blows my SD 1 outta the water that's for sure mids aren't as annoying and the bass suck is VERY minimal

 

[RockNRun]

I had two nice purchases this year. Would've only been one actually, JUST happened to snag the Marshall a few days ago to sneak it into 2010...sure won't be any other finds like this before years end. I also picked up a few minor things like a pedal or two, a pair of speakers, a mic, etc, but these were the two main buys:

2010 Limited 10 Year Anny Prestige

...and the amp

 

[Superunknown]

For 2010 it was the Diezel VH4 and the Wizard Modern Classic.

 

[vchizzle]

or my Axe Ultra

 

[RJF]

VHT CLX

#1) My Voodoo Amps V-Rock.

#2) That same amp when I bought it back from the guy I sold it to.

 

[TheMagicEight]

Guess i missed this one in Dec.

Best 2010 purchases:
Scumback M75s - Best speakers I've ever heard
Bogner 20th Anniversary Ecstasy with EL34s - best amp I've ever heard
Gibson Les Paul R9 - best guitar I've ever played

Actually, I didn't expect to like the guitar. I used to have an '05 Faded Les Paul Standard, and while it was incredible, I was always curious about the custom shop models. I decided to take a trip to my local music store to try some out next to mine, and went through the different Les Pauls one by one until I got to the R9. It floored me.

I've since done the right thing and put pickup covers on. Running WCR Godwood bridge and Darkburst neck, and may I reiterate, the tone is stunning.


I think 2010 was my year to buy some of the gear I'll keep for decades. Definitely won't stop buying and selling - it's too much fun and I love trying things out - but for what my setup does, I can't imagine anything fitting me more perfectly.

 

[Scuba200ft]

Best, but not all 2010 purchases....

#1 is an all time best purchase..Axe fx Ultra.

These are 2 and 2a.....The Tyler has been a revelation for me....

An 02 R8

 

[yngzaklynch]

For me it's easily my EBMM JP6 BFR

 

[university81]

I bought and sold a fair few things, since last year but the best purchases are:

Hiwatt Custom 100 from '76 - without a doubt best purchase
Fender thinline '72 Telecaster reissue, in natural with a black pickguard,
Ceriatone OTS - good tones
mesa boogie lonestar - cool amp, sold it after getting the hiwatt tho =0

[stonedawn]

That would be my Diezel Einstein 100W head

 

[jkdsteve]

Bought and sold more high $ guitars this year than any before..well maybe some of it goes back to late 2009...best purchase, probably the Suhr Moderm M1 I since sold....since I really been lookin' for the perfect shred guitar that wasn't an Ibanez.

Based on what I kept my 'cheap' PRS Cu22...awesome tones!

You didnt sell the Les Paul did you I use that pic of it laying on the deck as a back ground for my iPhone

Yeah, I need cockpunching for that one :-(
