Why did I wait so long before I bought a nylon string guitar?

gently caress I just saw the OpSix is getting blowout pricing and I am IN LIKE gently caress, joining the OpSix club soon as they can ship it to me from MF!

Man, next week is going to be insane. Agile Septor 827 8-string, Toneczar Openhaus, Toneczar OTP, and now Korg OpSix on the way. My mind is going to be blown.

I don't even play piano or have need for a synth, but even I kind of want one at that price.

I got this dope pedal from Ukraine. It's basically a mad professor stone grey distortion, but with an extra "fat" knob that changes the character of the distortion. Sounds as good as it looks, I'll have to record some riffs later.

Fender offsets really are my favorites. My Bass vi is my coolest guitar by far

Oh I also grabbed a tenor uke from musicians friends stupid deal of the day last week. I now have a concert, a tenor, a baritone, and a Uke Bass.

I need a tiny drum set, and a tiny piano now, I guess.

Monoprice was blowing out some of their "Stage Right" amps last week and picked up this 30W 1x12 setup for kinda cheap. I got this for home use to replace a Mesa DC-3 that's a pile of garbage, hopefully this is more reliable. It is quite a bit bigger than I expected though.

I love my 15 w. That thing should rip.

Put my cheapo (but good) Thomann JB and 5-string PJ up for sale and got this.

I'm intending for this to be my last major instrument purchase ever short of something breaking.

It'll be joining joining the current selection of:

Fender Jaguar Special Player HH (3TSB)
Squier VM Jazzmaster (3TSB)
Squier Bass VI (black)

I guess I have a type

Nothing wrong with fenders, theyre just so iconic. How do you like your bass VI. I just got mine finally set up the way I like it, locking trem, staytrem bridge, la Bella flatwound, and I shimmed the neck.

Personally, I love Fenders, mostly because of the aesthetic. They're utilitarian. Bolt-on necks. Plastic pick guards that obviously are there to hide the routing on the top, which makes the construction cheaper. But... gently caress it, I love 'em for those reasons.

So much easier to do the wiring on fenders than on les Paul's because of the pick guards. I will literally never do any wiring on a hollow body or semi hollow ever though. gently caress that.

Not exactly a purchase, but I just got a new job in sales at a very large music gear retailer. I haven't started working the floor yet, just finished level 1 training at their headquarters. But one part of the training/indoctrination course was visiting the factory floor of their sister company, Yorkville Sound. It's very cool to see a PA company that is, from the ground up, a Canadian operation. No 'assembled in CAN (from parts made in Taiwan)', virtually everything Yorkville manufactures is done in-house. I got some pics.

These are awesome thanks for the pictures

They use a bunch of different makers, so multiply that over multiple places.

That model has been around for a while, just not as a Firefly. Used to be all over AliExpress with Fender logo headstocks and custom shop decals. I played one once, and it was absolute garbage. Bad paint and unplayable action due to terrible beck angles. Hopefully they have one of the better builders making these.

I see they have their Chckenbacker bass and 12 string up now. Cheap enough, but I'm waiting for the new Squier Paranormal Jazzmaster XII.

Ooo, I just need to add a blend knob or a second volume and it'll be perfect

Traded in a butt load of old books and DVDs at a local resale shop and ended up using some of the credit for this cute lil pair

Kinda lo-fi through the 8inch, but through a 10 or 12, sounds way bigger than it has any right to. I pulled it apart to change the tube and took a look at the innards. It basically uses a couple 4558 op amps as a preamp, with the tube used for clipping. STA540 power amp, with two channels unused 🤔

I bet I could add an fx loop to this thing

It's not much, but my first pedal was delivered this weekend, a Boss BD-2. I like the sound. I got it used from Guitar Center and it did not come with it's own power supply so I still had to put clothes on and go to the store. Is it normal for pedals to not come with a power supply?

E: Should I just give in now and buy one of those ~10 slot power blocks?

Sometimes they'll come with a battery. You can probably get away with Daisy chaining off one power supply for a while until you get a digital pedal or two.

Good first pedal btw

Squier quality control has gotten really good lately.

Frets are immaculate, intonation surprisingly good out of the box. The fret board isn't even dry.

I also got one of the $160 Sonic Mustangs. It could use a little adjustment, but it's decent for the price as well

The BP1W is really good. CE sounds great on all my guitars, and RE is nice on bass and bass VI.
