i miss my toronado and mustang pretty bad, and i've always had this nostalgia type longing for the wayne's world strat that got stolen when i was 18.

i miss not having the prosonic around. it was a good backup. the jvm was such a great replacement that i do not miss the TSL at all. not that i don't have mad respect for them, but the jvm is just better i think.

Orange Tiny Terror...

such an awesome amp.

gets shipped away tomorrow.

OH MY.

traded the jcm 800 [50 watter] for the orange. sold the orange to buy a car after mine died.

being young and broke SUCKS.

I had an Ampeg combo that I didn't appreciate at the time - 22 watts with footswitchable trem and reverb, like a poor-man's deluxe. I didn't really give it a shot, but I do remember that it distorted like crazy at about 3.
I miss my mapleglo Ric 330 a bit - if I still had it I'd be installing toasters and rockin' it like crazy.
Big one for me was my DOD 250, which spit sparks and blue smoke at me one day. It had this awesome fuzz tone to it, which my Dano Pastrami can do good enough.
Peavey Fury bass - lightest weight, easiest playing bass I've ever felt. Traded for a vintage Univox phaser to get TEH HENDRIXXX.
'83 Squier Bullet - some neck issues aside, it was a sweet ride.
Akai Headrush - would be cool to play with now, but I felt I was using the looper as a crutch and not really developing my playing.
Boss CS-1 - awesome squash that I thought I'd be able to find again (still haven't).

For a young'un that's still two great amps you owned. What model 800?

never sold or traded anything I miss -

traded my old solid state Deluxe 112+ on a HR DeVille,
sold an RC20-XL, DOD milkbox, crappy plastic TS-9 that sounded nothing like a proper overdrive, and some no-name chorus.
sold a mid-80s Ibanez DM2000 rack delay...
only guitar I've parted with (besides no-name my first acoustics) has been a mid 70's Antoria Rockstar, which was sold to go towards the gold Jag

The only thing I've sold that I regret is an Ibanez ES175 copy that I bought for the purpose of selling. I regret it a lot less now that I've bought a guitar which is basically the same thing. Today had the first bit of sunshine for a while so I just took some pics, but don't have time to resize and all that jazz at the moment, so I'll make a thread later. Here's one to get started with though.

IMMENSE

do want.

Noice. I do like a jazzbox, I do.

I don't. I really don't "get" them at all. I found my Riviera unwieldy, that would be ten times as bad.

I've farted around on an ES-335 copy at a local studio and found it pretty comfortable, but I've no idea how that'd size up to something like Bob's new aqquisition, sizewise.

An ES-335 would be much, much thinner. It's a contoured (front and back) semi-acoustic double cutaway. That's a large Jazz box guitar with no contours and only a single cutaway. They feel massive.

once did some recording on a Gretsch White Falcon - maaaaaasive body but bloody awful guitar: like playing an acoustic plugged in with no sustain and too much gold sparkly-ness...

i love big jazzboxes, i like how they come alive and vibrate like mad when you play loud.

also they sparkle nicely.

My two pre-1970 Marshall 50 watt heads.
