amp rig changes what you made 2009

Found myself short of cash (typical musician's story) due to lack of gigs, and the money pit I'm calling a studio project (building a sound proof room in my garage)...

So... This had to go:

:crying:

...and this:

:crying:

plus a couple other guitars, and a '65 Fender Bandmaster head primarily used as a recording amp (easier to overdrive than the same vintage Bassman).

Also had to let go of this:

:bawl:

On the bright side, I just bought a TC Rebel Head (should be here next Tuesday), :hyper: But may have to give up my 3 favorite vintage Traynor amps to pay for it... Depending upon income in the next couple of months... :crying:

Banner year for outgo with little income! Hope 2010 is better...
 
Got rid of my Eden 1205 two-210xsts and GK 1001RB two- 212 Neo rigs and bought a Genz Benz shuttlemax 12.0 with UBer212 and 410 cabs. couldn't be happier with my choice. This year I added a shuttle 6.0 12t combo for small gigs and rehearsal.
 
After 15 years of playing through my SWR SM400 I replaced it with a Genz Benz 6.0 Shuttle when I found that the price of fixing the SM400 was going to be slightly less than buying a new amp. I made the switch and I love it.

I also bought an Avatar Neo 210 for GB 6.0 to help lighten the load.
Love 'em both but still have fond memories of the SM400 it treated me very well.

Plus I sold/traded three basses and a guitar, acquired two basses (one was resold), and completely rearranged my pedal board, which is still an on-going process.
 
Sold my 4-space rack which contained a Korg tuner, Sansamp RBI preamp, and 3000 watt QSC power amp and replaced it with a Markbass LMII. Also sold my Ampeg Portabass 250 head. Downsized and I couldn't be happier! Of course I still have my Ampeg SVT-VR/810 rig. . .;)
 
Then...

The SVT-CL is now sitting in storage (I'm not willing to completely let it go, yet), and the 410HLF has been sold.

Now...

The DB750 gives me everything I like about the SVT tone, but adds a layer of Aguilar's secret-sauce that makes it extra yummy. With the full DB210+DB115 rig, it's deadly loud - seriously, you could kill small animals. Most of the time I just run the DB115 cab and it makes me VERY happy.


I dont think I could be any more jealous, and if I could I would.
