What Electric Guitar gear are you looking to buy?

[clintj]

If I see a used looper like a TC Ditto pop up on Craigslist, I'll probably snag it for a practice tool. Aside from that, I'm pretty good.

Now if I win the lottery, that's different. An early 80s original JCM800 50W will be hunted down.

After finding my sons Mexican Strat I am beginning to warm up to a Strat for the first time. If playing it more gets me feeling good about a Strat, I might get a nice American one. At this point though, I don’t think any Strat will ever take the place of my wonderful Les Paul. Other than that, thanks to some help from folks on this forum, I think my collection of amps and pedals is where I want it to be.

I have too much of everything. But that's never stopped me before...I'm a sucker for the latest and greatest. Having said that, I think I'd like to buy a good bass. I rarely play bass these days, but I'd like to start using one on my recording projects. I used to be a bass player back in the '80s, and I've still got my old Ampeg B25B bass head (old? it was old in the '80s, lol) with a single 15" cabinet. I haven't delved into the bass world in a long time, so it'll be fun testing a few.

I know, I'm a lightweight compared to some folks.

Let's see what 2018-2022 brings ya .

I've just bought a Marshall Code 25 modelling amp which is ok but I'm gassing for a fender champ valve amp which I'm hoping to build myself from a kit.

This time he decided to exactly reproduce the entire preamp, record amp, and reproduce amp, all in the analog realm, leaving only the tape itself to the digital realm.

Some may know that I own an Echoplex EP-3. I've tried many other delay systems and have never found one that caused the echo to behave the same as an Echoplex. The main downside to the Echoplex is that it is an electro-mechanical device. Besides the maintenance required, every moment you spend operating the unit is wearing it out. So, an EP-3 that isn't as subject to entropy as the original would be extremely welcome.

So, everything I've seen says it is about as close as you can get. I'm keeping my eyes open for more feedback.

Yes it It looks interesting.

If you haven't seen it already here is an extensive ( 30 min.) video by Howard from Catalinbread on it

OK, Merry Christmas to me. This thread pushed me to buy a replacement neck from Warmoth, rather than try to re-fret my original Strat neck. It won't be an exact replacement - slightly larger fingerboard radius (9" vs. 7.25"), ebony instead of maple, stainless frets and TUSQ nut, but if I really don't like it for some reason, I can still get my original neck re-fretted later, and meanwhile still have an electric guitar to play.

First Warmoth neck? I've had a few over the years and generally find them to be quite good. Been itching to try stainless frets...

Congrats on the Warmoth neck. I bought one for my frankenstrat project back in 2007. They do have good necks.

[JeffreyAK]

This'll be my first experience with Warmoth necks, but I've heard good things. I do wish they sold a 3-bolt neck with the vintage 7.25" radius, though, that's the only thing I'm not sure if I'll grow to love, just because I've been playing a 7.25" radius for so many years. But that's not a huge difference, and the widths at the nut and heel are the same, so the string spacing will be the same too.

Thanks for that! There is also a series of shorter ones on Youtube.

I have a few electric guitars (6, I think, at the moment), but I believe I may be the most minimalist electric player of all time. I've played electric for 30+ years and have had gear pouring out of my ears in the past, but now I have two amps, and two very basic pedals. I just don't need much these days. After all these years I have come full circle and realize that I need very little to get the sounds I need and use.

I do want that Lester G pedal, though...

[harpspitfire]

hopefully i can control myself, buy and want nothing!

[roylor4]

My gear is in a state of flux right now. I currently have some stuff on Craigslist.

I sold off my 2 tube amps that I was not happy with - Laney Cub 10 (dark and ratty tone - never cared for it much) and a Champion 600 RI (no cleans and too boxy).

My next purchase will be a 10-15 watt tube amp w/reverb. Blues Jr and Carvin V16 are in the mix right now.
