What Gear Do you want this year Shortscale???

I want:
Squier CV 50's PBass
Squier Cv Duo Sonic
Squier CV 60's PBass
Squier Cv 50's Tele
Fender Jazzmaster(soon started project)
Fender Electric XII(second project)
Fender Twin Amp (I.E. Cyber, Vintage, RI)

That's pretty ambitious. I just want the shit I have now to work better.

Damn that's a lot of gear for one year.

Right now for me it's

Peavey Classic 30
A cool bass of some sort, probably either the new squier cv 50's or 60's p-bass. Or maybe I'll save my pennies and try to find a used 4003 for a good price later on in the year.
Bass pod or similar to record said bass.
Guitar multi-fx, possibly an ME-50, just for dicking around when I can't be arsed to hook up my pedals.
Some percussion, maybe a good set of bongos, a snare drum, tambourine, etc.

I also am having my old Ibanez Blazer redone once I get the bridge pickup in the mail, so that'll feel like a new guitar. I also need my Ovation rewired since it has some grounding issues.

probably only gonna buy about one or two things on the list probably the duo and one of the pbass's
the electric xii is a must fuck fender and squier for not reissuing them

Danelectro Hornet reissue (black)
USB 2.0 recording interface
Sennheiser 609 for micing my amp live
new black spaghetti strap for my U1 (preferably a vintage Bobby Lee)
pair of Mullard 12AX7s for my Ampeg

Doug Tulloch's Danelectro book.

Dano Hornet reissue in the Fiesta Red-ish color.
Another Jazzmaster. I think I'll build this one.
Tiny Terror.

your blazer is mighty cool........really cool w/ finish and 3 buckers is the middle a p90
i really couldnt decide between the 50's or 60's p bass so i put down both
good list though good luck!!!

Analog Synthesizer.
That New Danelectro Baritone in Cobalt Blue, if it's any good.

After that, whatever comes my way. I don't really lust for anything to immediate.

Some nice headphones, my PA (picking up on saturday after a friday gig ugh), and a Fender MusicMaster (highly improbable right now).

im building my jazzmaster this year or kind of putting together cause there expensive, i could make one cheaper, and they dont make sonic blue/tort
Whats everyones take on the dano hornet?

Is this the Hornet?
Also why go for Sonic Blue/Tort, I feel it's an over used scheme, but I'm not judging here.

IT WILL BE THE GREATEST GUITAR EVER.

but seriously, it will be decently made, cheap, and unassailably cool. Their other recent reissues have been great build-wise, much better then the late 90s reissues. The sound wasn't quite there, but I think going back to the wood bridge will solve that.

i saw this when i google imged fender jazzmaster and thought of how awesome it was check it:

no rythym circuit and same kind of bent vibrato arm. it looks so good on this vintage one
you know what... i might do a rythym circuit

Stopped making want lists since guitars and amps always pop up out of the blue and put off the list until the next year.

I want my mustang to get here faster. That is all.

I wish squier did jazzmasters and all the other fender shit.

what do I want? well, I have plenty of guitars currently, I just bought a p-bass and this sweet behringer DI (w/ speaker emu). eventually I would like to get a cheap parlor size acoustic and a cheap violin would be cool too. other than that, I'm pretty content at the moment.

That really is truly the case. The only guitars I have now that were "planned" were my Danelectro 12 string and my Windsong acoustic. Mainly because I simply wanted a 12 string guitar, and I wanted an acoustic guitar. The Ovation, Gibson LP Studio, Ibanez Blazer, and even the Hagstrom Viking II were all random purchases that just came about seeing the guitar hanging on the wall in a shop. Other instruments that I did plan didn't work out so well......the burgundy mist strat with gold sensors and piezo, the dark green tele with Squier Japan bullet neck, the white/tort MIM fretless Jazz Bass, The 6 String Danelectro Baritone, All those were premeditated but I think I didn't like them because the anticipation of owning/playing them was more interesting than the end result. On the other hand I had an equal number of impulse buys that I flipped in a month's time. I guess it's all part of learning what I like and don't like. Apparently I don't like fenders as much as I like looking at them. I never would have guessed I'd ever fall for a les paul of all things, but it suits me perfectly.

That having been said I know I love rickenbacker basses, so I might be the least disappointed if I just take the plunge, even though I'd feel stupid for buying such a nice bass and not being a bassist, in the scheme of things it's not like it'd go down in value, and better to get something I'd be happy with than another fender/squier that I know I'd hate once the newness wore off.

Lots of wants, but what with this summer being the first time I'll have a proper (not call centre) job, and given the shittiness of everything money-wise, I reckon I'll buy nothing and save a few months wages just in case. It's annoying. I've been looking forward to graduating and suddenly having money to buy gear with for about three years. I'll not be able to.

Apart form that, Zaphod's guitar and some P-rails.

i've got my eye on a hagstrom super swede

Other than that, a cv tele and a low wattage tube amp. There's a couple blackheart models that look pretty cool right now. A TT would be nice though too :p
