It's the angle; notice how you can see that extra little bit of the right contour, and also an extra little bit of the left binding.

Not strictly an instrument, but I got myself a second monitor to help with the workflow. I didn't really have a desk or a pedestal handy so I had to improvise.

Playing with a new band has me all excited about music again, so I took the opportunity to pick up some gear to help the sound come along. This is the '97 Gibson Doublecut that I picked up a while ago. I cleaned and polished the body and neck, and just got finished gutting the electronics. The stock Gibson something-or-others got replaced with a SD '59 in the neck and a SH-12 Screamin' Demon in the bridge. I'm typically a Strat/Tele guy, but I'm growing on this one. It's just got loads of sound.   Speaking of Strats and Teles, the Tele got Vintage Noiseless pickups and the comedy option '94(?) Peavey Predator got a Dimarzio PAF. Finally, this was just a good deal on craigslist that I couldn't pass up. A Roland KC100 keyboard/bass amp for $100. 4 inputs and 60 watts. The guy said that one of the inputs was broken. Turned out to be a broken-off tip of a 1/4" plug that was ridiculously easy to remove. Thanks guy-who-looked-like-Dwight-Yoakam's-character-from-Slingblade!

 I can't believe I didn't get me one of these earlier. I've fallen absolutely in love. Also, at the guy with the Ibanez Custom... drat you, that's a gorgeous looking guitar.

Totally had no idea what they had when he died a few years ago. Original case, players wear everywhere, and it played perfectly. Appraised at between 70k and 100k.

I love it every time my great uncle brings over his 1960 Gibson Super 400 and Echosonic amp, they were incredible guitars back then. The thing plays itself and sounds so, so good.

picked up one of these:  I found that the big muff sound really suits my style. i feel like a dick bag for having never messed with fuzz before. I love the grittiness of the pedal, and the way some of the frequencies sound like they're about to pop. HOWEVER, I would like to see if there are any good muff clones/versions that would help to retain a little clarity in the face of the wall of fuzz. When i'm doing standard power chords and leads, it sounds killer, but when I try to do big full 6 string flourish chords, those awesome upper registers get lost. I've dialed my amp in so that it's better, but i'm wondering if there's something i'm missing. The Earthquake Hoof and the Earthbound Supercollider looked interesting. any opinions on these? I'm actually so in love with the muff sound right now that i'm considering buying the generalguitargadgets muff clone, since it has the parts to build all the popular versions.

I haven't shipped them yet and I'm not certain I'll be able to ship them today, it might be tomorrow (which sucks, because it's going to be storming like hell tomorrow, but that's Arkansas). Shoot me an email if you're serious.

I decided that my boss ds-1 was a weak link in my gear chain, and it was time for an upgrade.  guy was selling it for a silly price on craigslist. i'm happy as gently caress with this thing. its breathing new life into my single channel 5w tube combo. makes an awesome headphone amp for late night jams, and my leads sound 10x better.

I placed an order Sunday for a Behringer Xenyx 802 which is that unit's little brother (only two XLR inputs and about twice the cost new of what you paid for your unit) and a Behringer U-Control USB->RCA Line In/Out. Fortunately it's going to take almost 9 days for Amazon to ship it, which means that by the time it arrives, I'll have money again when it arrives to buy some microphones and XLR cables to plug in to it

Welp, thanks to idly checking Craigslist while I worked today, looks like I'm gettin' this here Carvin 5-string bass: It's kind of in poo poo condition and the electronics obviously aren't original, but then again, it was only $100. Picking it up tomorrow! e: 5-string Kahler trem, too. I figure I can get my money back on that alone.

Is that a bass with a trem? No pics, but I got some european mil-spec AC128s off ebay which will hopefully become a couple of fuzzboxes and treble boosters in the coming months.
