-get my first wah pedal

-I can see myself getting stuff from Fuzzhugger, Earthquaker Devices, Zvex, Dwarfcraft Devices, MASF, Ezi & Aka, etc. Maybe a Catalinbread CSIDMAN, Boss PS-something or over, or Black Cat Monster K Fuzz. Or a Bananana Mandala. Or something from Electro-Faustus or Seppuku. Or maybe try a Black Arts Toneworks pedal for the first time.

Fuck, there's soooo many options. :lol: I went a little pedal crazy this year, and I definitely want to scale back on new pedal purchases for 2017. There's no hurry, and I can always just pick up stuff gradually over the years. Better than spending too much in quick bursts, then feeling guilty about it.

-Might get a new guitar. We'll see.

-Most importantly, I really need to scale back on gear research, pedalboard experimenting etc. and find people to play with. Definitely time to find a new band.

I think I need a bigger pedal board or a two board setup and another voodoo labs, etc.

1: Hopefully be able to buy at least one pedal for myself. This year has been tight. No gear in at all.
2: New band. Don't care if we have weekly rehearsals, i just want to play guitar in a band again.
3: Long distance collab? Maybe find someone here on ILF to record something with?

Oh and i really want to find a Blacktop baritone Tele from 2013ish.

Just scammed a fairfield accountant. That is getting sent straight to our acid dropping buddy for some top-mount action and a rehouse.

oh nice!! A regular sized accountant is probably super hot. Maybe because I hate mini pedals

That'd be a mighty small penis.

That would actually be really cool! Especially if you play single coils and run dirt pedals (instead of the distortion channel) into the front end!

Dude those look so good in real life too, they play pretty well too. Much better than most Mexican fenders. The Mustang 90's kick so much ass also. Thinking I might pick one of those up.

I own the Olympic White Mustang w/P90s. It is a GREAT guitar. That short scale makes playability easy and P90s have a unique sound. The only downside for these guitars is the size. You need a bass case for them. Regular guitar cases are too small ...
