It is vintage-spec and Beautiful.Īfter not quite 3 years of daily home play, I finally got a K&K pickup system installed and am now gigging with it. This guitar is stellar- build ( all solid spruce/Pau Ferro, not RW), playability, big volume and bold tone. as they know I love my Martin spruce/mahogany dread, but was always interested to try a smaller body 000-28 style guitar, but no $$ for one, even an import. This guitar was actually a very nice 60th Birthday gift from some guitar buddies my 2018 Blueridge BR-163 ( an import Martin OM/000-28 type) my Vox Pathfinder 15R ( bought used, going on 8 years?) no need to get into details- it is just a perfect amp for my gigs- mostly small so in this last category, 2 items rise to the top! Then I have some gear, in the middle ground time frame, say longer than 2-3 years stuff I've had for about a year- still 'on honeymoon' ( OR did not make the cut and gone) Stuff ( most of what I own/and gig with) I have been playing now for over 20 years ( guitars/amps/pedals) My gear seems to fall ( timewise) into 2 broad categories: It is family, as when funds were tight, I refused to sell it knowing that I could always use it to earn $ for food which I did on a regular basis because musicianing and mixing sound don't typically come with a big payday for most of us. This bass has been around the world with me as I served my Navy enlistment, and could often be seen in it's case occupying the space behind the seat at Sensor Station 3 aboard the P-3C aircraft I crewed. The Schaller machines are as smooth & solid today as they were new, and the set neck is straight as an arrow. I did that for awhile with a pair of Peavey TNT 100's, but cable management became an issue at my feet. It is stereo wiring, meaning that if 2 cables are plugged in, you can send each B22 pickup to it's own amp. And, the brass nut was cutting new depths from those round wounds, so that was replaced with bone, which surprisingly has not worn.yet. The only mods over the years have been new frets (once) from using RotoSound round wounds, but who cares? Frets are cheap. I had my Carvin LB50 bass built for me with delivery in February 1983 and I still have it. It's become my go to guitar over the 4 years since I built it. TheFretwire Mosrite JR kit - Since this is a kit I did a lot of work and mods to it may not be fair to have it on the list but this kit came out excellent. I've never modded it, even keeping the covered gear trapezoid tuners. It's super cheap but sounds and plays very good. It was eventually replaced with more modern modelers and IR cabs but I still use it from time to time.Įpiphone LP Jr - I bought it new at GC in 1998. Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 - I bought this pedal in the 1995 and it was my go to preamp for a little over 20 years. I've considered replacing it with a more modern, feature rich, mixer but it's never been a priority since it works well.īehringer TU300 Chromatic Tuner - Oh noes! A Behringer pedal with a plastic shell! I've had it for about 10 years now, use it every day and it works fine. It needs some repairs now so I don't use it but I'll get it fixed.īehringer Eurorack MX802A mixer - I've had it since the early 00's and it still works great for recording and with a mini-PA. I used it a lot over the years, most often as a power amp for a preamp or modeler. Peavey Bandit 65 - Bought new in 1987, my first real amp since I had only played acoustic previously. I'll mention some stuff I bought new, still like and either I use or used to use often.
