You can't buy happiness but you can buy guitars which is kinda the same thing

I generally don't GAS for much, until I wind up on Ishibashi.

Re: amps...
Tried a couple of the Voxes (Vox Cambridge 50, VoxVT50) and a Blackstar of some sort. They all sounded ok, except that I play baritone so there was something not quite there in the bottom end department, even with a 12" speaker.
I wanted to try the Orange Micro Terror next. Chris at the LH Rock Shop listened to my wish list and suggested I may actually be looking for a bass amp. That was perceptive because I always run through a bass cab simulation. So yep, still looking. Oh, and singer/soundguy in the band suggests that DI'ing is a lot less of a PITA from a mixing standpoint. There's that too, I guess.

Re: What are you gassing for?
Anyone looked at the new Boss DM 101, analogue delay smorgasbord. Very pricey, but that’s why God have us two kidneys

Re: What are you gassing for?
Have watched a few videos, sounds like a good option for people who really want an analogue delay with lots of options.

Indeed, RS are doing them for about 1100, so I’ll have two thanks

Re: What are you gassing for?
Same. They've got a lefty Gibson there in wine red that's beautiful. Good price too (if it weren't for the shipping and associated fees) at around $2800 NZD.robthemac wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 11:32 pm I generally don't GAS for much, until I wind up on Ishibashi.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: What are you gassing for?
I just looked and they're the same as i paid in 2021: $295 from Japan to here via EMS. FedEx will cost $492.Jay wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 6:22 pmThey say they have dropped the shipping feesNippleWrestler wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 6:15 pmSame.
