So what are you buying yourself for Christmas?

[wedgeSG]

Hmmm....seems i/we have gotten a bit off topic. Christmas present to self, .... well if the check comes

in the morning and I can sneak off to GC without being caught my plan is to get a l'il used Valve Junior

halfstak outta lay-away I've been paying on. Rummaged around in the van this afternoon, I found a

migratory speaker cable so that's covered without additional expendature. Even bought a Christmas

tab book the other day. Hopefully I can find some tone time in the next few days to give the newest

addition a good trial run. Still trying to figure out whether to hide it somewhere or bring it home while

she has the potential to possibly be in a good mood. I'd hate to be sleeping in the van with the new

VJ. There's no electrical outlets and even less heating in there.

I kinda dug the look they felt like they should be on a Easy Bake oven.

 

Ha ha so true. There are a lot of knobs out there and most of them just don't look good and feel good at the same time. That's why I usually stick with good old Gibson speedknobs or Fender strat knobs. The metal domes with an abalone top insert can look good on some guitars. I think there is a market out there for someone who can design some high-quality, cool looking knobs.

A couple cheap mics. Any recommendations?

 

This one if you are recording. It also comes in a combo pack with an AT2021 that can be used to mic amps.

If not the Shure SM58 for voice and the SM57 for voice or amp micing.

It turns out the Valve Junior Head isn't in stock and am not willing to wait for it (Epi couldn't say how long it would take to deliver), so it'll be a Valve Junior Combo (hoping it'll be a V3) and a digital delay stompbox.

Why don't you check Harley Benton's offerings at Thomann? Basicly the same stuff.

Thought about that, but the space in my head turns out to be bigger than where I live...

Is it a bad omen when the serial number of the Valve Junior Combo starts with 0090?

I'd like to buy a dream. One where Americans inherently understand torturing prisoners is immoral, wrong and not to be done. One where governments can stop fearing their constituents will revolt - and do it by stopping the creation of avenging accusers. Where religion is used to help those timid, needful souls amongst us - not as a hunting ground for sexual or psychological prey. Where businessmen, doctors, lawyers, executives, criminals, politicians and others who violate a special public trust are held responsible for their decisions which cause unnecessary injury to others. Where every man, woman and child can set aside 1% of their greed in favor of genuine charity, not just a public display...lemmealone! I wanna go back to sleep where I can dream without pain.
