    I forgot I ordered it, so when it arrived yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised.



    The smallest amp I've ever owned. I have the Spark MINI from Positive Grid, and this is their latest, a "pocket-sized" amp that uses every model and effect available through their Bluetooth app. Shown here with the XVive wireless receiver, which is probably how I'll use. Everything packs into a gig bag pocket, making playing and practicing on the go (hence its name?) a breeze

    OK, it was last week, but I forgot to post it.
    Bought one just like this from Dan The Blues Man. Such a fine little amp! Played it at a TFF Jam last week and it sounded terrific!

    If I'm going to go in on this Soldano, may as well get a matching cab!

    Possibly a Gretsch Broadkaster. Doing consulting work at a local music store. My bill is agreed will pay in gear. Current bill is halfway there

    Probably another 2x10. I know, I've already done that, but I really like the sound & portability. I'm thinking I'll get some fancy Jensens for it this time

    I bought a Squier Paranormal Nashville Stratocaster in Tobacco Sunburst on Monday, and a Fender Classic Series Tweed case on Tuesday, both from Butler Music in Harrisonville, Missouri. Great outfit to do business with. At my request they double-boxed the guitar and Butler did not charge me sales tax for either transaction.

    I bought a Digitech RP200... and a power supply, because it requires a special one the seller did not tell me about. so my $40 bargain ended up costing me $60.00...
    It's fun, and I only bought it as a toy to play with. I does do some neat things I probably will never actually use, but fills it's purpose. a temporary fun distraction.

    I bought this last week, technically over 48 hrs ago, but please forgive. If I read correctly they called this particular run "The Golden Hour". It's a 2017 Fender Princeton Reissue FSR. Somebody scalped the original Celestion G10 AlNiCo Gold, but I'll get one & put it back in there. $900 off craigslist

    Nice score, Robert.

    I'd put a flat logo on it as well.

    You know, I thought about doing exactly that. It's very hard to photograph, but the handle & the faceplate are brown.

    Re: What Have You Bought Guitar-Related In The Past 48 Hours?

    So I forgot to mention it when I got it, but at the spring Northeast Guitar Expo last month I picked up a new-to-me pedal, a J Coloccia Id overdrive. |Nice sound to it, it's at least for the moment replaced the original Bixonic Expandora I've had on my board for the mid-gain drive for the past 20ish years.
    While I was there, another vendor had a Cochrane Timmy for sale, and of course I tried that out.
    I'd had a hankering for one for a while, and sad to say, playing one cured me of that urge. Even with high EQ topped out, it sounded like there was a pillow over the speaker.

    I also just this week got a few new picks, an outfit called Attak Piks. I got the mix pack, and while a couple of them I don't see much use for (one very thin and another large and triangular) I'm liking the feel of them a lot, and even the small, which they touted as being similar to a Jazz 3, isn't quite. It's bigger than the 3, similar to the John Petrucci signature pick size. I don't care for the 3, it's a bit small, but the JP is nice. The Attak is nice also - they may well work into my regular rotation.

    One of these would look real good on it......

    Picked up a used mint condition Helix LT yesterday. While I am a Fractal guy, some of the places I play have these as house rigs. So I’m going to learn it and use it in my practice room, replacing my Mesa MKV. It will also simplify my load in/outs at a place. If it performs well with bass, I’ll also sell my Hartke amp that is in the practice room. Less gear and I could potentially end up $1450 to the positive.

    Just received a Weber 12A150T speaker yesterday and installed it in my Princeton Reverb.

    I was going to try it out today, but it's just not suitable for the gig. Maybe next week!

    Wanted to see what a Strat neck pickup sounds like in a Telecaster so I have a Lollar Royal T on the way. Actually like the neck pickup in my Tele, but theoretically having a strat neck and Tele bridge sounds like a really good “Swiss Army Knife” fender.

    I let it acclimate for 24 hours due to the extreme heat we've been having. Inspired in part by S. Cane's fondness for his Washburn, and knowing that some "name" players have associated with the brand, I liked the looks, the features and the price of this Washburn G-Mini 55 Koa. Yes, it's laminated, but it's also less than half the price of a Taylor GS Mini-e Koa (which I have and love), I figured this would fit into my "travel/knockaround" guitar collection.

    Having been playing my 12-string Taylor and Furch Little Jane a lot recently, I was struck by how narrow the neck at the nut is. I also think it needs some neck relief, because while the harmonics sound nice and clear at the 12th and 7th frets, the 5th fret is dull across the neck. Well, what can you expect for a <$400 guitar?

    Nice features, too: A walnut binding with "armrest" and what Washburn calls a "comfort carve-away" for access to higher frets.

    Re: What Have You Bought Guitar-Related In The Past 48 Hours?

    I received a brand new Fuchs Blackjack 21 1x12" combo yesterday. I had been looking for a channel switching combo with a nice clean sound and compressed OD sound to compliment my collection of more organic sounding vintage style amps. Between paying no sales tax in Massachusetts over the weekend, a discount for saving it as a favorite on Reverb, and 3% cash back on my CC, it was a pretty good deal.

    It's a Dumble influenced amp. It sounds fat and warm on the clean and OD modes. Clean and OD share eq, but the OD has a tone control to shave off the excess highs and sounds great. The amp has built in digital reverb that sounds ok. It'll be fine with as little reverb as I use. It weighs 35 pounds so my messed up back and wrists can take it places.

    Bought an MXR Brick power supply to replace my 25 year old Pedal Pad power supply.

    Not sure how, but it changed the sound of my pedal board. Have to re-learn it.

    The Pedal Pad power supply was causing certain effects to cut-out and resulted in a very weak signal at times. Perhaps the voltage was too low, or the 9 pedals drew too much current for the 25-year-old unit.

    Ok.....so maybe got a little nuts recently. Got myself a tonemaster Deluxe Reverb. Really like it. I have a couple of friends and recently did sound for the Nighthawks.....all using them. Some with the super, some the twin some the DRRI. They all sound on point. Let's see how they hold up.

    Also got a used roadworn jazz in SB. Had an 06, this is an 05. Also have a Fiesta red 14. I really like these. They are all just a little different. That makes the Suhr either #3 or #4 TBD. Also picked up a snsamp bass driver DI. I used it straight into the PA on one gig and into a qsc k12 on another just to see how and what it could do. I am very pleased with it as back up or instead. Happy birthdays to me.

    Well, I consider this guitar-related, even if peripherally.

    I've gotten tired of my current "impeller" humidifier tossing fine white powder into my whole house. My daughter gave me a larger volume humidifier last year before I realized the powder was the result of minerals in the water spewing out with the mist. So, I decided I'd had enough of the dusting and cleaning and bought a Vornado EVAP50 evaporative humidifier. Not only does this type not produce the white powder, it also has a capacity of four gallons, which in my small guitar room (guest room) could last up to several weeks. During the very dry times of winter, this may only be a few days, but even then it beats having to refill the old one two or three times a day! I also like the fact that it's designed, made and supported in the USA.

    We have this same humidifier. The only (relatively minor) issues are that it make gurgling noises as it draws in water and the wicks are on the expensive side.

    I made a typo. The model is EVAP40, not EVAP50. As for the noise, it's in my guitar room with the door closed, so I don't hear it at all. As for the filters, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Or them.

    Bought this on Monday, a new/takeoff Vintera 60s Jazz Bass neck for one of my Precision Bass guitars. I've found I get along much better with a 1-1/2" nut width on my Fender basses. Here's are some pics from the listing:

    Here's Sweetwater's description of the speaker cab:

    2 x 10-inch cabinet delivers vital tone at reasonable volumes

    Real SVT tone includes the sound of a real cab. The scaled-down extension cabinet included with the Micro-CL Stack uses two 10-inch drivers to deliver pure Ampeg tone. Its frequency range (from 57Hz to 5kHz) is perfectly optimized for the Micro-CL Stack head, bringing out the punch and snap you'd only expect from a full-sized bass stack, but at more manageable volumes. This makes the super-portable Micro-CL Stack not only great for practicing, but also for playing smaller gigs. In fact, your sound guy (not to mention your back) will probably thank you the next time you play a bar or small club with this lightweight bass rig.

    I'm still really liking this mini bass amp. Much more sound coming out it than the Rumble 25 (understandably). My "big" bass rig (Hartke LH500 head and two Avatar cabs, 2X10 Neo and 1X15) has been pushed out of the house and into my storage shed on the property to make room for more guitars (which I can't seem to stop buying).

    Sounds like serious hardware to me. Nothing in Fender's (C)rumble line of bass rigs ever impressed me, I think you did well.

    I dunno, I've gotten a lot of praise for the sound of my Precision through my Rumble. Chacun Ă* son goĂ»t, as Marcel Marceau would have said…

    I've got some Thomastik-Infeld flats coming in for my Eastman jazz box. I've put off the flats, but time for a string change, so I'm going to try them out.

    Don't have any photos of it, but I got in on an AnalogMan Prince of Tone last week, it came in Saturday.
    I only got a chance to plug it in last night, and I'm most impressed.
    I'd had my eyes on the Cochrane Timmy for a while, and got to play one this spring, and wasn't impressed with it - at all tone settings, it still sounded like there was a pillow over the speaker.
    I later got a chance to try the MXR Duke of Tone, and liked it. I figured that I wasn't in a rush, so why mot spend the extra $20 for the real deal.
    |I've been going on Analogman's site on and off for a few months to try to get in, and did so this week. The PoT is opened for sales only Wednesdays; limited amounts available)
    So I plugged it in last night and was really impressed - between the tone knob's sweep, plus the internal trim pot and dip switches, it's a huge range, plus the 3 settings, boost, OD and Dist. I still have some tweaking and playing around with it to do to figure out how it's going to sit in my rig, but it's for sure a keeper (even though I could turn it around on Reverb or Ebay for a good profit.|)
