What are you gassing for?

[rocklander]

I'd like two things:
some sort of looper.. really like the look of the jamman jml2
some cash to pay for some sort of looper.. really like the look of NZ or US currency.

[Jenesis]

Build one.

[rocklander]

Build one.

the reserve bank frowns on that.

[Jenesis]

Tenuous.

[hamo]

Tenuous.

He's unlikely to get a Jamman for $10 US.

[Jenesis]

I'm sure he'd try to haggle it down from that anyway.

Funny how the word 'haggle' is so close to 'haggis'.

[Jenesis]

Right next to each other in the dictionary. Probably.

GASing for the Yamaha bass I'm bidding on right now...first time I've not used Buy Now in a while. This auction thing is exciting.

P.S. piss off if you're thinking of buying it.

Gasing for one of these : Fender American Deluxe Strat HSS http://www.sweetwater.com/guitargallery ... S11011963/

They seem versatile and reasonably priced. I'm always paranoid about how such an item would be handled in transit though?

Fenders travel really well in international shipping. Build like a 57 Chevy, the only thing to do is slacken off the strings and ensure no banging or chaffing within the case - both of which are no brainers for a reputable online retailer. The journey from say LA to NY is no different to LA to AKL - just a longer pause between baggage handlers,

Go on,. you know you want it

Thanks for that.

I do really want it with an EHX Cathedral to go with it.

I can totally vouch for Sweetwater's shipping. They use Fed Ex, and everything's very well packed, and it's lightning quick. I got my Strat through them and have also got several pedals, three other guitars for friends, some home recording gear and a pedaltrain through them and I've never had a problem. And I'm saying this despite the fact that I manage a NZ retail store and it's basically the worst thing I could be telling you from that point of view. What can I say, I call it as I see it. If you're going to import (and you shouldn't because you should support local and blah blah etc etc), you can't do much better than Sweetwater. A++, would trade again.

I've also had an American Deluxe HSS Strat, and it was a very nice guitar, very well constructed and great to play. It was a little TOO perfect for me, a bit bland and lacked a bit of character, so I eventually moved it on, but you won't be dissapointed with the quality.

While on my quest for the right 335 style gat I got in one of these:


Man it's awesome. It's a 335 thickness, but it's actually a full hollowbody (hence the trapeze tail piece). It's amazingly well finished for such a cheap guitar - only $899 retail - and super versatile. Play's like butter too. Limited edition, one of the last in the country. I really want to take it home but my wife is pretty adamant I don't need any more guitars and she's totally over my constant gassing, which I can understand. I can't even bring up the topic anymore.

So tempted to sell something, geez I could probably sell two or three pedals and get enough for this, but I really love my current pedalboard, it's pretty much perfect.

*SIGH*.

Cam, I'm not regretting anything I've sold to get my 8, i reckon when you are prepared to sell a whole bunch of stuff to get something else it shows you really want it, perhaps it's not quite right enough?
