I haven't gone too overboard. I got a Keeley Caverns pedal when the virus started, so I'd have something to do. Then for my birthday my Mom bought me a Keeley Seafoam Chorus pedal. Yesterday I picked up a used Mexican Charvel that was used on tour by the guitarist from Miss May I, a metalcore band. The bridge and tuners have been modified but great guitar!
 
ah man I just got a Keeley's Cavern pedal last week. I'm really digging it. I have a MXR Carbon Copy and a EQD's Dispatch Master so one of those two will probably bite the dust. The Keeley will stay.
 
Nope. Held out on a lotta awesome amp deals though!

I would have jumped all over that markIV that just sold too.

I'm thinking i need a jp2c and just be done
 
This explains it. I've been running daily searches for the past 2 mnths looking for covid deals. I figured stores/people would be looking to move gear. Not the case, I swear prices have probably gone up. Everyone's been buying, not selling...

Same here, I thought there would be some good deals to be found. Seems like theres a LOT less gear out for sale as well.
 
I held out for the most part, lol. I got a 5150 III 50W right before all this went down. I think the only thing I bought during the quarantine was an old Rocktron Replifex.
 
I missed out on a LTD DV8-R white, super clean yesterday. Very upset right now about it still. I did pickup a Fryette 2100 back in mid march. Ive spent some cake.
 
I've gone a little crazy, picked up a new Twin Jet and also a bogner XTC 101b that is in great shape.
In my defense, I sold a lot of gear during the last 2 months so I'm not out of pocket much..LOL
At least that's the story my wife is hearing. :lol: :LOL:
 
Well when anyone wants to purge I'm ready and a simple PM away?
 
I’ve sold a lot of things the past year. Mostly behind the deal bro deals.
I don’t need half the crap I have. :lol: :LOL:
 
I bought a lot of cheap NOS stuff. Caps, tubes, some transistors, a TV, two amps a trade for a LP and a handful of other things.

The only thing I really over did were the NOS PIO caps. Got over 40. That will take care of my guitars for the decade lol
 
I’ve bought a Mark IV, G Triple Rec, F Dual Rec, Mesa Traditional 4x12, 4 speakers, and many tubes! And I’ve sold enough shit to pay for it all. Gearwise, I’ve been having a great time during this lockdown. And it’s keeping me from going “The Shining” on my family, which is nice! :lol: :LOL:
 
I’ve bought way too much. Several guitars, an amp, new Mac Pro tower, software, tons of pickups, straps and other accessories.
I’ve been on pickup trials, pick trials (I bought about 10 styles of picks and tested), string quests, I bought 3 types of fretboard treatment oils and tested, been on a single coil quest, the beat goes on...

Triple Rev F for me.....

Amazeballs.
 
Bought a 5150 III 50 watt head, a Mesa Mark IV-A head from a guy on this forum off reverb, and I sold my Carvin 2x12 cab and bought a Mesa 2x12. Lastly a new Jackson King V pro. Its been a crazy time. I sold some stuff too however like Peavey 6534 and a couple of Gibson's mainly a Flying V to make it work.
