    I'm really wanting a Z-28 and some sort of reverb tank.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    a Z-28 would be nice... I played an old 6v6 amp this weekend with a strat... wow that sounded nice.

    The amp was made by Oahu... very simple two channels of inputs. Volume for each channel and a tone knob... I almost bought it to run with the Ghia...

    I have been longing for a 6v6 or 6l6 amp with 10's for my cleans. I love, ok its a bit of an obsession, classic blackface fenders.

    however I have made up my mind on the new strat and after than will be some kind of nice acoustic. for the major purchases. It takes me a while to earn all that money.

    My mind is set on a nice acoustic to replace my Martin D-28... I am thinking that it will happen in December, christmas bonus. Until then, I am spending as little as possible... except in a coupld of weeks when I go to Vegas...:D

    I am leaning towards another D-28 or possibly a HD-28... if I can warrant the price increase. A vintage Martin would be ideal.

    a 60s D-21 or D-28... back when they used the brazillian rosewood still... I have had the good fortune of playing two of these... and they are worth the hype.

    Otherwise, I have been investigating as much gear as possible to narrow down to my ultimate list... the criteria:

    5 electrics
    2 acoustics
    1 acoustic electric (to play out with)

    3 amps
    3 speaker setups (a combo amp counts for amp and speakers)

    It is tough... but I think it is reasonable and will not be frowned upon by potential wives...

    The list, as of right now:

    Guitars:
    -Gibson Townshend SG

    -Tele with a humbucker neck (ideally a vintage fender, early 60s perhaps, with maple board, I would settle for an ASAT with a nice sunburst or vintage blonde finish... gun oil tint is a must)

    -Gibson 335 or 355... big tone

    -Strat (maybe a on Don Grosh for example, that or a real deal... same finish requirements as the tele

    - Girlbrand... check them out http://www.girlbrand.com... these are great guitars... wonderful designs, smokin' pups, super high quality and feel.

    Acoustics:
    -Martin D-28 (old or new, they are all great)
    -Gibson SJ-200 (vintage)

    A/E
    -Gibson J-160E (John Lennon couldn't be too far off)

    Amps:

    - Carmen Ghia, in some form...
    - Hiwatt DR504
    - Fender Vibroking (vintage bassman layout with reverb and vibrato... = nice tone)

    Speakers:

    - 212 cab with Vox Blues/V30s (interchangable)
    - 412 Hiwatt cab with Fanes
    - Vibroking is a combo...


    Anyone else?

    GC Atlanta has several lovely 70's D-28's and 35's along with some 1940's Mahogany D-18's (I think that's the number)

    They are incredible with new strings. so much sparkle with this deep rich resounding tone to them.

    I really love the Taylor 600 series for stage use. Quilted maple backs and sides with the solid sitka spruce top. Very nice sound amplified. Not boomy. Very smooth.

    i need a good second amp with a dirtier character than my deluxe reverb.

    maybe i'll replace my DR with a vintage example too.

    i'd like a 335.
    and i'd like a taylor 314 so i can retire my morgan from gigging but since i no longer plan on gigging it's not a big deal.

    but none of those are important right now.

    i need a good digital piano but that'll get taken care of soon.

    I think those Epi elite Dot's are pretty dead on for a 335. Hell aparently they are made in the same shop as Grestch guitars in Japan so you know they know hollowbodies. You'll probably change the pickups anyway. I've decided any guitar I buy from here on out will either come with locking tuners or I will put locking tuners on them.

    good call on the piano situation... I love writing on a piano... easier for me than with a guitar.

    i thought about getting a sheraton II and swapping out the electronics, tuners and nut but i figure if i'm gonna go, i'm gonna go big. the epi just does not have the feel. especially after playing an GLPC for 8 years.

    335 with tobacco burst please.

    I hear you. I'm the same way. Tobacco burst or Cherry for me. To go along with an old Fender Super. Add blues club and stir.

    Shop in Portland, Oregon. I could've died...

    Hey, anyone have a clue about this:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3705963830&category=10171

    Is Orange, or have they ever, made a 4x10" cabinet? I WANT ONE! Too bad you have to buy the amp and ship it from Britain. Oh well...
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    check the forum at http://www.orange-amps.com the only thing current on the whole site. I'll bet the question has already been answered.

    To my knowledge they have built 4x10 bass amps but the one in that picture is most certainly a 4x12.

    That's what I thought...

    I guess I could always get a bass cab, replace the baffle, the speakers, and the grill, and have a semi-legit Orange 4x10".

    That'd certainly be one way to do it. Possibly the only way to do it.
