... that next piece of gear... Mwuhahahaha.

If you could only have 2 electric guitars, 3 amps (head or combo), 3 cabs and 3 stomp boxes- what would they be???

I'll start.
Peavey Wolfgang Custom Shop (stock)
G&L Legacy HSS (CC, hot rails)

Mesa/Boogie Mark IV head and Recto 4x12 Cabinet
Bogner XTC Classic head and Matching 4x12 Cabinet
Vox AC30 1x12 Reissue Combo
+ Mesa/Boogie Recto 2x12 Cabinet (for small gigs with the heads)

Spina Moded Vox847
Ernie Ball 6166
Line 6 DL4


Honestly, keeping it down low on the gear list.
I honestly think I will have all this gear before I am 25.

Re: If you could ONLY have...

A Mahogany strat HSS (G&L, Fender, Warmoth... doesn't matter) with soft V maple neck with rosewood fretboard and medium jumbo steel frets. It would have a Custom Custom, or Alnico 2 Pro bridge humbucker and 2 Kinman Woodstock + single coils. All wired to 500k tone and volume pots. Must have vintage style tremelo bridge with all screws tightened down, with 5 tension springs in the back, AND blocked with a piece of tone wood or even brass. I like the slight way the springs influence the tone.

A dual humbucker style guitar (LP, PRS, Semi-hollowbody, doesn't matter) for warmer tones. Preferably all mahogany body and neck with ebony fretboard. I'd like tiger eye maple cap on top. Electronics on this guitar would be ever-changing. Neck p-ups would be... depending on my mood, phat cats, seth, 59, jazz, Alnico 2 Pro, or tv jones filtertrons spaced for LPs. The bridge p-ups would be anthing from the JB, Custom, Custom 5, Custom Custom, Alnico 2 Pro, TV Jones Filtertrons, or 59.

Marshall 50 watt jmp 2204 or 4 input style plexi type amp. Marshall cab loaded with 2 vintage 30's and 2 greenbacks.

Vox AC30 type class A amp and 2x12 cab extension loaded with Celestion Alnico Blue speakers.

Roland JC120 with 2x12 extension cab.

An overdrive/booster pedal of some type.
Fulltone mini deja vibe
Fulltone Tremelo

Right now, I'm close to having what I want listed above. I have 2 out of 3 amps I want (Laney vc30 is AC30ish), Have both types of guitars, although later I will get a better quality LP type guitars and perhaps an actual AC30. I just don't have any effects yet hehe. Been playing for almost 8 years now and haven't bought a single effect.... Maybe I should start now heh.

Re: If you could ONLY have...

Guitar 1: Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Telecaster to my specs (too long and intricate to list) pickups would be hotrails in the bridge and SM-1 mini hum in the neck.

Guitar 2: Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul built to my specs (too long and intricate to list) pickups would be JB in bridge and Jazz in the neck.

Amp 1: Diezel VH4 with matching Diezel 4x12 cab

Amp 2: Mesa Dual Recto. with 4x12 Recto. cab

Amp 3: Peavey XXX with custom 4x12 cab 2 celestion vintage 30s up top 2 Sheffield's from a 5150 cab on bottom

Pedals:
Boss TU-2 floor tuner, i'd be lost without mine!! makes a good "kill switch" also!
MXR EVH phase 90...i just got it and i'm lovin' it!
Modded Tubescreamer...not that i need more gain with my amp choices but you never know when you'll need a bit of a lead boost.

i think that would work however if i could i'd give up the third pedal (the modded tubescreamer) for a marshall 4x12 1960A cab and a 4x12 5150 straight cab to use with the XXX instead of the mix and match 1/2 and 1/2 custom cab i mentioned.

Re: If you could ONLY have...

I'd take an alder S/S/S strat, and a H/H mahogany strat... both with rosewood boards.

One amp with nice cleans and nice gain, probably a bogner judging from soundclips...

2x12 cab, and 2 4x12s just to look metal when I could use a full stack :headbang:

A delay pedal, and I'd trade in the other two pedals and amps for a really high quality acoustic + mic.

That'd be me!

edit: No it won't.

I want a baritone acoustic as well :laugh2:

2 amps swapped for two guitars is fair right? :burnout:

Re: If you could ONLY have...

Guitar #1 - my LP Studio. After installing the JB Jazz combo I've only put it down long enough to go to work and sleep. It was my #1 guitar before the swap, but is now my first wife. The tone is great and it plays like a dream right now.

Guitar #2 - tough choice. I've got two projects in the works... a P-90 loaded Warmoth SG and a s/s/s strat with some SKT-1 or Fender Vintage Noiseless pups. Something about that vintage tone that's got me jonesing for P90s and SCs. I'll have to get both finished before I could decide which one I couldn't live without.

Marshall JCM 800
Fender '59 Bassman

Re: If you could ONLY have...

gtr2: Custom superstrat

amp1: SLO 100

amp2: Marshall Plexi

Actually, I'm very satisfied with my current gear and can't really justify any further spending at the moment. Those are nice dreams, and would cost quite a lot, especially the amps.
