Guild is bringing back the Thunderbird as the T-bird for $799.

Time to sell some gear.

I really wish Roland would follow Korg's footsteps and start reissuing their old synths (other than the mini ones they came out with, that is).
I'd love to be able to buy an SH-101 to go with my Minibrute for less than $1000.

Also, those Brutes are sexy.

I feel like Arturia is sorta tryna make the microbrute the modern 101 in some ways. The ubiquity and limited edition colors at least.

Or they've finally had a steady hit seller/loss leader, so they're pumping out as many colors/limited editions as possible, so they can keep coasting & not have to build/create an affordable successor that isn't the Matrixbrute

Fender is bringing back the duosonic

Green Mustang! The "PJ" bass (30" scale) looks alright - Fender Rep: "We don't even have sunburst!".

That is not a Mustang. That is a a Duo-Sonic with P90s.

Why does Fender seem so dead set on taking the vibratos off things?

Pike's been using the Pharoah(?) forever so that makes sense.

I know he's used/uses the Oath, not sure about the Pharoah though

Man, I wish I hadn't just broken up with short scale.

I was working on this Alexander update last night, but now it seems even more has come out.

(1) Alexander Pedals has a TT chorus now called the Chesapeake ($239 list).

(2) Matthew has updated their tremolo, by giving it tap-tempo and note subdivision. It's $239 also ($50 more than the original).

(3) Last year the Spacexpander (a nod to the vintage Fisher Spacexpander) and Reverse Radical were available in some custom dual boxes around the holidays. They're making the rounds at NAMM this year as standalone effects.

Yeah you might be right?

NSFW: show

Seriously, why do you keep posting rad stuff my wallet can't handle?
Now I'm suddenly excited for both of those.
