I sold my 1964 Epiphone Olympic, listed my Carvin VT410 half stack and might list my Mesa Express 5:25 1x10" combo. These actions will likely lead to a purchase or purchases.
Ordered a Tusq nut and saddle for my acoustic friend of 20 years of playing and writing. It's a beginner's beater I just love and want to see if I can brighten it up a tiny bit.
Ordered a Dunlop neck cradle for my bench. I wouldn't pay $50 for one but I would pay $20.
Ordered a DigiTech/DOD Boneshaker pedal to try with my 8-string guitar. You can find them new for $50.
Really considering this.
LOL
yeah, those spring pedals are great
zomg
*disclaimer - I do have one of those but I never knew it was a real 'spring' reverb
Just ordered a Schecter Research universal case from Amazon warehouse. $69. It was under the used cases, still in the box and like new condition. Hoping it will fit my 8-string Omen but if not I have several others needing a case.
I have a fitted Schecter case for one of my other Schecter guitars and they use the same materials and are super nice cases. If this is actually in like new condition it's a good score. We'll see. Very excited.
5/22/18, Update: Case arrived today and it panned out to be a new case as I hoped. Was probably sold at one time but didn't fit.

Great score, Mike! Congrats! That's one helluva quality case! And you DEFINITELY should post more pics of your guitars, man!
The custom handmade embroided strap I ordered has arrived. I loved the feel and the looks... Very comfortable, doesn't "bite" your shirt and won't slip either. Stays put and it's made of cotton, so it's probably comfortable all nite long. A gig favorite, that is.
Looks killer on my strats!
noice, veddy noice
Yes, it's metal indeed. But it is very carefully made, the rivets actually don't touch the guitar while you play, so no scratches or damage whatsoever to the finish.
Btw I usually tie a bandana to the rear end of the strap and let it hang, and it covers the rivets anyway.
Oh, and if you guys like good quality embroided straps, I'll give you some addresses...
This one I bought is made by Pipeline straps, a Brazilian company. I'm not sure they ship to the US/UK, where most of you live, but it's worth a try... Or I can gently buy it and send it for you by mail... Be my guest. They cost around 130 Brazilian Reais, not too expensive in US$.

There are also these two very good manufacturers that make wonderful straps, but on the flipside, those are too expensive to buy and have shipped to Brazil...

Just clicked the "place order" button at Sweetwater for a new lefty Olympic White AmPro Precision Bass. It'll be here Thursday, pictures to foller.......

I've got my presonus studio 1810 in their wish list, it's a matter of time. bought my behringer from them, and a few other things.
My JBL speakers will be paid off soon (Sweetwater 48 month 0% financing) and it might be time to look for what comes next. With the money I'm investing in recording at CK studios, I really find that is better than gear. I'm learning so much from him and we're getting my tunes into real sounds!

i'm not in a hurry to get that presonus (whew, almost strained myself saying that with a straight face) but I want to pay off some other stuff before I add more to the pile. I know it will still be around when I'm ready. The bodies come and go and sometimes it seems like forever between the ones that I like well enough to consider pulling the trigger so it's a little harder to look at a nice one and say "no, not today."
just received a pair of Celestion Heritage 12G-65’s! They’ll go into my VK 212 extension cab. These are some good sounding speakers for rock and blues! Slow to break in but well worth the wait
I bought a used Celestion G10 Gold alnico 10" speaker and put it in my Mesa Express 1x10 combo. Wow! Sounds great! Deep lows, warm highs... I don't have to fatten the EQ up as much when switching from the ES-335 to the Strat. And the Tele, with both pickups combined, sounds like BB King! Crunch mode is very Vox like.
Awesome!

I've been wanting a Gold for my Princeton non reverb but it's a little hard to justify since I've barely been using it lately. Nearly all my playing has been through my DAW. Plus I'd have to choose between a 10 and a 12 because I have a baffle available for the latter. Plus I have a custom cab for my Champ to house a 12 also but it has to be 4 ohms and I don't know if the Golds come in 4 ohms.
I could legitimately sell both my amps but eventually I'd need to replace them and that will only get more expensive. But if selling both of them could get me into a Princeton Reverb I would probably do it.
I traded a useless, (to me), MT-2 pedal for a little Dean Markley K-20, (the one made in California). They are pretty good practice amps as they are, but I am going to see what I can do to "improve" on this one. I had one but my grandson used it while he was visiting us last year, so it went home with him.
OK well yesterday i pulled the trigger and bought a Fender Champion 40 and I play a Schecter C1 Classic w/flame maple top. I would post pics butt i guess my old-timers kicked in because i can not seem to figure how to post from phone or desk top.
Congratulations on your new amp. I have one and find it incredibly flexible (although I can never remember how to set it so I can play my acoustic through it).
As for photos, I don't think you can upload directly, and can only paste a URL into the image tags. At least I've never been able to.
