Incoming!!! (show Us Your New Stuff Before You Actually Have It)

Tearing my hair out finding a weekend to go and pick up my Mesa Powerhouse 412 as previously posted, all set for the long drive to Canberra on the first weekend of June.

In the meantime, I just placed an order for this to add to my effects chain. Between the Thumb, DG Alpha Omega and the Sansamp, Ampeg SVT-7 Pro and Mesa cab, I will have my ultimate setup. View attachment 24649
Patience is a virtue ?

I have the "normal" SansAmp BDDI Programmable, never leave home without it, and IMNSHO, it eats Darkglass for breakfast. :cool:
 
I was just notified, and provided with images, that my brand spankin' new Ric 4003 is inbound!!!! I had to wait 6 months for it, but considering Sweetwater sold it to me, including shipping and sales tax for $2100, and Reverb scammers are trying to get between $3k and $4k for them as used "mint condition" iterms, I can endure the waiting.

I grabbed into the Ashdown bee-stock!

I used to have an Ashdown Little Bastard 30W tube amp, and I was very pleased with it's tonal performance, and it had waaaay more output than you would expect from a 30 watter. I am fairly certain the CTM-30 is virtually the same amp with a different skin. That looks like it would make a sweet practice setup, like for when you are doing other important things........like watching the boob tube.

Right! It‘s for home use in the second living room. Atm I have a Marshall AS100D there, but that one is no good for bass.

Congrats bro! I snagged my new Fireglo for $1829 (back before sales tax was a requirement) from a family owned outfit called Sims Music from South Carolina back in January 2018. She’s beautiful but if you’re not gentle, she’ll give you a hickey on the left pectoral!

Arrived just now. Needs a setup. Everything works. Photo isn't great due to cellphone quality. Yay!
Will make stringspacing a little wider as this is the first ever Ric with a proper bridge. Truss rods can be tightened some too. I like my action LOW.
