Christmas list

[guitarnate2000]

so are you any my RT buds getting any cool gear for Christmas? Mine obviously is the JJ100.... and a few things out of pawn that had been sitting while I pay off medical bills from my treatment. Hell, some of them have been in pawn for so long that it will feel like a brand new instrument when I get it out!

I hope some of you guys are getting some cool stuff. so who's getting some cool chit mang?

Just bought myself (Merry Christmas to me!) The new Diezel VH4 pedal and a Modded ADA-MP1

Havent played either of them yet. Plan on firing them up this weekend.

Merry Christmas Bro!

Couple weeks ago, a 2012 Wizard MTL 50. Had to sell a few things to get it, but wow. What a great amp.

Yesterday, got an unexpected Xmas bonus. Saw Art(232cap) selling his Aldrich, but my bonus wasn't quite enough....it sold.

But today I spied an '88 black tolex Jubilee 2554 at a shop out west. Less than 1K. Had to. Couldn't help it. Hope I can hide it from the wife.

LOL.

Fedex just dropped off a new Fender Malmsteen Strat.
Fit,finish, all good.
Disappointing tone wise. Thought it would get some strat tones.
Neck width is to thin.
Maybe a fatter neck and a 5 way switch .
Return time

Laura (Valve Queen) did bust her ass to get me some KT77's for my Diezel Hagen
and recommended Mullards new CV 40004 preamp tubes. Tried 2
Liked em enough to have her send 4 more that arrived today.

So,today wasnt a total loss

 

[MrDowntown]

Got my fingers crossed...hoping for about $1000 in various gift cards...may all to one spot (Guitar Center). If so, I will flat out flock to the used gear department.

Merry Christmas fellow Rig-Talkers!!

Unfortunately, I wont be getting myself any gear this year for Xmas. I am broke, and what little cash I do have, I will use buying gifts for my family. I am going to get myself a delay pedal over the next month or two. I have a Hardwire that I really dig, but it is malfunctioning.

Is your malmsteen brand new? I have had a couple and I found the older ones are much better in every way. the new ones, man, the scalloped frets are SO DEEP!!!

Oh yeah. Brand new.
I read all the reviews and knew the scallops were different. It plays fine.
I could really dig in and it felt like grabbing the strings with my fingertips.
Just the simple face the neck is way to thin.

Damn that is a pretty righteous couple of weeks. I'm just hoping not to get a lump of coal in my stocking.

 

[JerEvil]

I have a Friedman Pink Taco inbound and just got a Torpedo Live today

Ho Ho Ho!

 

[NeubyWanKaneuby]

I got a Zoom Q8 so I can make horrible guitar videos.

 

[Pushead]

I scored a deal on a ES-345 from CME. I've always wanted one, so now I'm embracing my inner grandpa.

Even if I don't have kids.

gower rockmonster is a really bad ass amp!!! I loved mine!

 

[CEG85]

Considering I just spent $7,800 on property tax, its safe to say I wont be buying any gear for Christmas or in the near future.

Wow that is insane. Maybe you could have it rolled into a monthly payment? There's no way I could come up with 8k every year all at once.

Just bought myself (Merry Christmas to me!) The new Diezel VH4 pedal and a Modded ADA-MP1

Havent played either of them yet. Plan on firing them up this weekend.

Merry Christmas Bro!

Awesome, really want to try that pedal.

I got myself a Mills 212 with the Legends and the Tech 21 OD/boost as I posted in my NGD thread so I'm pretty tapped out between that and presents for the family but I'm stoked I got them.

I am gonna buy a Polytune off my buddy at work though for cheap I think. After that my goal for 2017 is to get a wah, delay/verb, pedal power and a good board with carrying case. Then I'd like to take advantage of the year end ESP sale next year or at least get another guitar of some sort.

I'm also starting to gas for a small Power amp and VH4 pedal or something small and portable for home use and lazy gigs with the 212 or possibly a Bugera 6262.

Anyway I ramble that's my what I got for Xmas and gear goals for next year. Happy holidays and everyone enjoy your new gear!!!
