    So, it's that time of the year again - what are ye're highlights gear-wise for 2007.....what's come and gone.....what were ye gassing over but never managed to bag?

    I know some of ye picked up some really cool stuff, and some of ye have been keeping very quiet, spill the beans :p

    With pics of course :mad:

    Highlights for me were snagging those two loverly Aria's from Ishibashi. :)

    Some other stuff I'm keeping quiet because it won't be here til '08. ;)

    I'm still gassing for a new amp, just haven't gotten round to buying one. Mucho euros for what I want. :( Markbass LMII and two Bergantino 1x12's. Oh well, my practice amp will do for the mo'! :)

    We'll see in '08! :)

    and pics of the Aria's...

    No New Guitars this year :( but got some other gear.
    A roland cube 30 which I use for practise and gigging, and a small PA (Behringer PMP5000 with The Box PA502A speakers).

    I'd love a new electric as the old one is getting on a bit now. If I'm a good boy santa might look after me next year!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭fish-head


    I think the only thing I bought this year was a Microcube.

    I've discovered the cure for GAS... a Gretsch!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    This year has been an extremely significant year for me and my gear, probably the best of my life, and I really do feel content with my lot. Quite a few things bought and sold, but I'll just concentrate on the bought;

    Pix of the jazzmaster k? :p

    Why'd you sell the SZ? I was looking at those before, they look nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,377 ✭✭✭fourmations


    ok joe

    its had a few cosmetic changes and some really nice pups from curtis novak
    (the last picture is what it has ended up as and i like it like that)

    [URL="[IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i70/fourmations/IMGP3440-1.jpg[/IMG]"]IMGP3440-1.jpg[/URL]IMGP3452.jpg[URL="[IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i70/fourmations/jmblackpups3.jpg[/IMG]"]jmblackpups3.jpg[/URL]

    i never got into the SZ, its was a lovely guitar, very sturdy
    and the set-neck was excellent, I never liked the look of it
    which kind of meant it wasnt picked up that much,
    I found it a bit shrill sounding too but pups would have solved that,
    it just wasnt right for me, but think its a great guitar for the money

    Nice! It looks real unique with the black white thing going on. :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,706 ✭✭✭Voodu Child


    Lovely stuff, keep the pics coming :D
    Voodoo hasn't posted any pics of his own... It has to happen!
    Well, 2007 was a time of change for me... I picked up a lot of gear but didn't have much money coming in, so a LOT of old stuff had to go to fund the new. Most of it is now sorely missed :(;)

    My rack is gone :(, I lost a J-custom to the_freeman :(, my THD Univalve is now resident in fastlane studios :(, and just lately my Boogie Stiletto had to go to fund something tasty. (anyone who had their eye on that and passed will be kicking themselves if they every get a chance to play one...smoking amp :().

    So...new additions?
    Well, I did manage to pick up a new J-Custom, nearly brand spankin' new too. Not cheap, but one of the best players i've ever seen:
    JCRG8520TB_7.jpg

    I finally picked up a Boogie MarkIV this year, i've been chasing after one of these for ages. Worth the wait, and every penny, literally the best amp on the planet, f*ckin unbelievable tbh :eek: Don't let the diminutive size fool you, this monster will eat most full-size 100watters for breakfast...;)
    thiele2.jpg

    But the sexiest bit of gear I picked up this year is this purple beast:
    DSCN1746.jpg
    100watts and 3-channels of Soldano high-gain heaven....:)

    Gear-whore? Who, me? :confused::D

    Bring beer and hookers and your welcome.

    In fact, forget the beer...and the amps...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 427 ✭✭pyure


    stuff i bought and am keeping -
    westfield sg, really nice sg copy and dirt cheap :)
    gfs mean 90 pickups for my les paul....mmm p90 goodness
    line 6 toneport gx, amazing little toy.

    stuff i bought an am selling -
    zoom g2.1u, originally bought because it has a usb connection but has now been surpassed by the toneport. moving to single pedals instead.
    boss rc 2, not getting as much use as it should, being sold to finance future purchases.

    future purchases -
    evj combo and a selection of stompboxes

    that's it, not a bad little year and most importantly my playing got a lot better as well :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    Voodoo....damn thats some nice gear!

    Is that the Soldano that was in musicmaker for ages? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,706 ✭✭✭Voodu Child

    Nope. Different amp altogether. That was an Avenger, mine's a Decatone.

    Although the one in musicmaker was lovely, i'd have bought that no problem, except it was just the one channel and no effects loop. It might be even still there? it certainly was still there a month or two ago...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,291 ✭✭✭-=al=-


    yeah ive been lookin at that one for ages, but i couldnt tell ya if it was there, needs more channels and a loop and i wuda been sold

    and hookers? giggity giggity

    i got my tsl back and works great so ill be with that for a while more


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭DeadSkin


    Outs, were my first guitar & amp [a crappy strat & marshall], a digitech grunge pedal.
    Also got my hands on an MT-2 pedal, which I loved, but, it has since been moved on to a young aspiring guitarist.

    Ins, C-1 Hellraiser, PODXTLive, Crate PowerBlock and I built meself a damn fine[if I say so myself] 1x12 cab :)

    So, it's been some year for me gearwise, moved on a fair bit, here's to 2008 and all that comes our way :D
    Have a good 'un folks......

    Edit: oh here's a pic

    Gear1.jpg


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    Out > Ibanez S2120, a couple of V's, stuff I can't even remember... all sorts of gear really

    In < Well this year has been all about the letter B :)

    b1.jpg

    bg9.jpg

    Edit -> oh yeah, and a 59 Bassman :-D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 500 ✭✭✭mc nuggets


    Its been a fairly quiet year of gear for me, this has been my only major purchase


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,635 CMod ✭✭✭✭Ravelleman


    I haven't bought anything this year but I am planning a major gear overhaul after Christmas. I'm moving to a new appartment where my ENGL won't really be appreciated so I'll probably have to sell that. I'll be relying on my Pod XT Live with headphones for the next few months.

    But there will be positives! I plan on picking up a G&L L2000 and an ASAT, and, if I'm lucky, possibly an Edwards 335. But we'll have to see...

    Duff_Man - nice Strat man. Like the case too, have to get one of them hard-ass mofos eventually.

    I haven't bought anything this year except an Ibanez RG450 Ltd which is still in total destruction / reconstruction phase. Haven't played the damn thing once. :o

    Well only once when I bought it and it had 3 strings. ;)

    I haven't sold anything either coz I've nothing to sell. :p

    BTW for anyone wondering, that Soldano that I was talking about earlier is still in Music Maker. It's in its usual hiding place opposite the Ibbys but its down behind a few Marshall heads now. :)
