2024: Your year in gear

[VonBonfire]

Had amp issues early in the year. Had two Twins completely gone through with one getting new power caps, the other getting all new caps throughout plus a loose choke was replaced. Bought tubes for one, had a stash of JJ's for the other. Spent a pretty penny on all that.

Bought two Eminence PF-350's, bought two Force 12's. Blew my last JBL, a K, and sold some blown D's.

Bought a Dimarzio Super Distortion and a Gibson 490r.

Bought an LTD Viper and learned how to rewire stuff.

Bought some new gigging clothes since everything I had was turning into rags.

I think there is more but I spent way too dang much for my budget and can't recall everything. I been trying to move a few items locally plus some acoustics from the wife's collection. Market is moving exceedingly slow even with make offer ads on CL.

I don't feel like digging out pics, but I think this year I purchased a second Warrior guitar, a Von K relic tele, a Chubtone, a Budda Superdrive 80, a Landy Lexxi, and an MGL 50. I haven't played any of the amps lol

Bought 1 guitar this year while still paying same as cash on a big buy from 2023..
It will be paid off in March. I could do it now, but same as cash is the shit..

How do you like the royal shiva? Part me is like 2k for an LTD...wtf?!....and the other part of me is like, if it's good it's good and that's all that matters. Love the design since I saw Matt Pike with his similar custom First Act many years ago.

 

[NowYou'rePlayingWithPower]

I didn't purchase a single thing besides a couple plugins lol

Don't tell us you're one of those people who spend their time playing their gear instead of just hording more

 

[NowYou'rePlayingWithPower]

Marshall JCM-900 SL-X

That you, Chugg?

I dig it. It's only the second ltd/esp I've ever had. My first was a sparrowhawk, which is a fine guitar, but the neck is so thin and narrow it's kinda crampy for chords in the first few frets. I didn't play it much until I slapped a Floyd frx on it and now it's a keeper for shreddy stuff. The royal Shiva has a "Gibson" nut width and is far more comfortable for me, for what I like to do... It's a keeper. The pickups are hot hot hot, so it's a different flavor than the mid output stuff in my les Paul's.
