Some more pics of my EC-1000, it's kind of odd I've never seen a 1000 series without Deluxe on the headstock, except mine. These pics suck and don't represent the color of the top very well unfortunately.

The good news: My new (to me) Avatar Vintage cab arrived today, and it looks awesome! The bad news: Somewhere along the way, the magnets on both speakers cracked, so it sounds like rear end.

I'm assuming a few choice drops with the magnets being very cold. It was packaged really well, and there's no way that anything could have directly hit the magnets, so something epic must've happened along the way, although I don't see any other damage. I talked with the guy who sent it to me (it's used) and trust him that it was ok when he sent it out, so I'll probably have to eat the cost myself. They were Hellatone 60s, which I was really looking forward to hearing, too. edit: vvvv I'm gonna talk to him and see what he wants to do. an AOL chatroom fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Mar 12, 2008 |

I just got this little guy for $150: Ok, I lied: it isn't little. It's a gently caress-off huge Carvin RL118. It can handle 600W at 4 ohms, which is way more than my wee amp can put out. It sounds pretty awesome and is pretty articulate for an 18" speaker.

noblystabbed posted:I, too, am interested in what head you use with that. An Avatar cab is in my future and I'm curious to see what other people put on top of theirs. I had a pair of Avatar 112's for a LONG time, and used either an AMP BH260, an SWR preamp or Aguilar preamp +DCM1000 power amp, or Aguilar AG500. All three rocked exceptionally hard, and the little 112's could easily take the 1000w from the Carvin power amp, but the AG500 was probably the perfect match.

I pulled this badboy apart when I changed the battery and found out the date of the pots. CTS Pots dated back to Week 20 of 1980. I found this page very helpful! http://www.answers.com/topic/mxr-2?cat=technology Has alot of info on MXR history. According to that page, pedals after '81 had power LED's and a 9V input. Mine doesn't have either, yay. I like owning a pedal that's older than I am

 Roland Juno G. What a loving powerhouse for the money. I believe it's based off the Fantom, which means a lot of really awesome sounds. The keys feel great and the whole unit is extremely light and easy to transport. I haven't dove into the recording section too much, but it appears it's just as robust as everything else on this thing.  Yamaha YDP-223. This is my workhorse. When I need to sit down and teach, or feel like recording something a little more classical, this is it. Keys are solid, the sounds are near perfect, and pedal feel is great. Sorry for the lovely photos. Edit: Ville Valo posted:Korg R3 You PRICK BASTARD. The R3 will be mine someday. Just how good is the vocoder?

Cheap great delay = Danelectro PB&J 20, 25 used, tops and it sounds far more organic than the Boss DD's or the Ibanez delays. It also doesn't color your sound as much as the Danelectro Dan Echo does.

Picked up a 1986 Mesa/Boogie Mark III head a couple of weeks ago. It's one of the Simul-Class versions which means it can switch between only using a pair of EL34s in Class-A mode for ~15W of output or using those as well as an additional pair of 6L6 tubes in push-pull mode for a combined ~85W total. This thing oozes 'metal'.

2000 Mexican Fender Precision Special. Needs to have the pots replaced, but other than that it was a steal for $300. I love craigslist. Pardon the loose string ends; I just set it up for C standard/drop Bb.

I've posted this in some other threads (like the guitars that you like thread), but now I get to post it here, which is awfully exciting. Should be here next Friday. 1936 Epiphone Deluxe  There's just about nothing I'd change even if I could.

This may be cheating since it isn't the LAST thing I purchased but it is a recent purchase.. You may never see one of these again. If you don't know the story of Matamp you may want to read this story. From what I'm told, only 21 Matamp Roadsters made it to the USA and most of those were combo versions of the amp instead of these head versions. All hand-made from start to finish, 120W, single channel, EL34 based. It's kind of a higher gain version of the Matamp GTL you hear on.. well, pretty much every stoner/doom metal album ever. The only other one I've ever seen for sale was the one the guitarist from Electric Wizard sold recently. Anyway:

So, it finally arrived two days ago. Only took 10 weeks (long story - bottom line: thomann.de are awesome; musik-produktiv.de are not). And being the dork that I am, I documented it:              What can I say, it was worth waiting 10 weeks for. Now I just need to hook my baby up with some new pickups. Also, new amp.For those who're wondering, it's a Dean ML 79 with Floyd Rose. Colour: trans-brazilianburst!
