I'm not one of those people that has constant gas, and even when I do get it, Its normally for strange little things, stomp boxes, speakers, etc...Easily attainable things. Not this time though.
About a week ago I went into GC (i know) to buy some strings. While I was there it started raining, and I didn't really want to run through the rain across two parking lots to my car (I parked infront of an antique store I was in before GC). So I figured I'd just check out some tele's and sg's until the rain stopped.
I was checking out one of those mahogany telecasters, playing through a fender super sonic (which is a really kool amp btw). But then some fat metal kid comes and sets right behind me at the Line 6 spider amps, and starts messing around, So I had to move someplace else. Ya know so I would have to listen to him playing badly with tone worse than his playing.
So I saw the Marshall VM, and decided to check that out, since it was far away from fatty mcmetal-head. I've never really been a fan of any Marshall amps I've tried. I mean, I sorta liked the dsl50's, and when I hear other people playing through the older Marshall's I've always loved they're tone. But I've never really found a Marshall amp that really worked to well for me.
So I plugged into the VM let it warm up, then started messing with the controls. Theres not a bad tone to be found in that amp. It was the 50 watt version with the matching 412 cab with those weird special greenbacks (designed for the jimi Hendrix amps originally I think).
So anyways, its been a over a week now, and I've gone back to GC basically every single day to Play the VM! haha. I've tried basically every guitar in the store though that amp. Schecters, Gibsons, Fenders, jacksons, Squires, Used weird garbage, everything. Guitars I would never even consider owning, guitars I normally HATE, everything.
I keep hoping I'll find something that sound soooooo terrible that it'll make me not love that amp. But no matter what I do, everything sounds amazing through that amp! Its driving me insane. Everything sounds amazing, they all sound different, and ya can still hear the individual character of each guitar, But they still all sound perfect! No matter how terrible the guitar, It sounds perfect through that amp.
So needless to say, I'm pretty sure I'm in love with that amp. Haha. But the thing that sucks is, I could never justify buying it. Not only do I not have the money for it, But I also don't have any real reason to own a half stack.
So yeah, this sucks. I never thought I'd ever play a Marshall that I'd love that much. But the VM just works perfectly for me. What are ya supposed to do when you find an amp that is Perfect for you tone wise. But basically everything else about it is wrong. Way more money than I can justify spending on an amp, way larger than I really need, etc...
Being poor sucks. As much as I love all my current gear, and as much as I've said I'd never sell certain things I've got. I keep finding myself considering selling every piece of gear I own, except my tele, to get the money to buy that VM.
I'm not expecting anyone to talk me out of it, cause I know how you guys are, and if anything I'll get a bunch of people encouraging me, haha. So I don't really know what the point of this was.....haha.
