    I was blessed enough to receive a mandolin, a baritone ukulele, and a new harmonica. Never really played any of the above before, but I'm excited about all of them. It's going to be a great year.

    Two stands and two cases. I finally got them! I also got some 1971 Fender Mustang pups for my stang(since the ones in it now seem to be weak...I'll but them in something else), a new neck for my custom Frankenstein, and strings.

    Not really a present, but I bought myself a Hughes & Kettner Statesman Dual EL84 combo amp. The spring reverb isn't working sadly, so getting it sent back on the 10th for repairs, but it sounds sweet.

    you opened that gift 13 days too early... send it to me as punishment ;):)

    I can't speak for the Hiwatt, but the Tweed will sound like heaven in fenders. It sounded good in my orange.... GREAT in a vibro king with a casino.

    Rarely did I not roll the bass roll off all the way up (clearly I'm a single coil guy) but man... the fender type Jfet circuits.... are brilliant.


    finished it:

    sounds very good. open and pretty ballsy. i was expecting mellower since it's based on a little amp but it's surprisingly meaty.

    A pair of Gibson guitar stools, my wife bought over the net from Nashville, which was pretty cool.
    The Heavy Metal Vault CD set, interesting.
    Slash's biography
    Into the Wild soundtrack
    Bought myself Raising Sand

    We have a trip to the US coming in a few weeks, so there was no point in paying Oz prices for stuff, when a shop-a-thon is imminent.

    my wife got me the BOTB book a couple christmas' ago.. great book!

    Hmmm, well someone sure has an aweful lot of $$$$$$$$$ at their disposal.
    You must be a lawyer, doctor, stock broker, computer guy, or maybe your
    family is just independently wealthy?
    I remember buying a ton of gear like that a few years ago, mind you it was
    for my job, not just because I wanted to show my expensive gear (and the
    great thing was that I was able to write it all off that year).
    Unfortunately those days are past now that Sony® isn't writing me as many
    checks (I wish I still had the disposable income).
    Good for you, glad you're doing well enough to afford it.
    My '59 Les Paul Junior never got played (which is why I sold it), though I still
    use my '67 Dlx Rvb (Blackface), '67-Plexi (1959-SuperLead), and '66 JTM-45
    (1987-Mark-II) from time to time - still sound great after all these years, but
    they're expensive to get worked on, which is why I don't use them as much.

    Nah... typical middle-class family man with a decent job and some savings. I've been buying selling gear for quite some time and each upgrade cost a bit more then the next but it has worked out OK for me. Been playing in bands for about 6 or so years and had some years where I could write-off some gear but for the most part just a hobby and I'm a vintage nut as well. What I didn't post was all the gear I sold to get the stuff I bought recently. I don't stockpile guitars and amps. The collection is relatively small but yes, very nice. Check out this verified brazilian R9 at Maverick Music:

    http://www.maverick-music.com/scripts/vintage-guitars.asp?idproduct=1556

    In '03 that guitar was around $3800... today, you couldn't get one below $7500. Investment grade, to say the least. I recently sold it which allowed me to get some of the gear you saw. These are the same guys who sold the Peter Green Burst for 1.4 million...

    BTW... Nice junior you had there. Is that a cali case that's pictured with it? Those are $3K by themselves! Those amps are sweet also. If that superlead and JTM 45 are all original (trannies, etc.) then you should do very well in 10yrs time. Good stuff....
