The J Mascis JM arrived and I put the Lollars in, it sounds lovely but not a million miles from my very cheap Affinity JM, so I bought another one of those with a view to mess around with it in the new year (new paint, extra switching options, maybe a third pickup).

The Thermae is lovely and has probably ended my need for any more pedals for the time being.

Not sure I can think of anything else to buy now, which hopefully doesn't mean I'm going to end up buying something really expensive and ultimately useless. My car needs some work and there's lots of things I could get done in my house, but where's the fun in that ?

I'm gassing to fix my guitars.

But pedal gas - nah. All my shit is making me happy.
Max I recorded with the G4 Revv. But I also picked up a G3 because I read online it could be used as a low gain drive. It can't. At least, not with my pickups. But anyway, it sounded sick too and I didn't want to get rid of it. So I bought an Old Blood Signal Blender and am running the G3 and G4 in parallel. G4 is main sound, G3 provides the mids and some additional saturation. I dig it. Can't wait to play out with it. If only we had some gigs booked...

DUDE! That sounds so sick! :rock:

I am glad you like it - I would have sold it 4x by now with my gas levels :snax:

and I was just driving thinking *hrmm I wonder what the norther mauler sounds like* - this is after I submarined by entire 2022 and 23 spending money.

:lol:

I am intrigued by that one also. Though signature stuff is mildly offputting a lot of the time, it's not too obvious in this case. And the Revvs to be honest.

Went a bit mad earlier and bought a CB Spectre and a CB Wombtone off Reverb for eye-watering prices.

Thinking about buying another Jazzmaster too, but not committed myself yet.

I bought a red Noventa Jazzmaster to add to the pile.

That was one of my huge purchases this year - even though I only use it for my weekly zoom lesson it was so worth it.

How do you like it? Those things got stupid expensive fast.

I've been selling off gear for years now, very opposite of GAS, but I actually bought something for the first time in a long while yesterday. I saw this Marshall Lead 12 5005 on CL for $125, it was kinda far from me, but on the way to somewhere I had to go yesterday, and I found $25 in an old envelope. So it seemed fated.
