1) improve modular setup but without going too wild
2) don't buy any pedals unless I also sell one (this might allow for one or two exceptions lol let's be honest)
3) new bass cab
4) 12 string electric?
5) make and release a lot more music

Go modular. ;)

Seriously... keep looking for a new guitar. Get a new fuzz that is high gain and go into distortion territory (probably the Diamond Fireburst).

Same. Some of my stuff is still on pre-order so it will look like I bought stuff in 2018 but those were Q1 Funds of 2017 :lol:
But seriously #nogear2018.

Same.
But unless some mystical benefactor appears and gives me one, it probably won't happen. :mope:

:hug:
I know that feeel. Been lusting after aluminium in my life on and off since like 2011 or 2012. Back then all I knew about was EGC and that was all it took to get my gear boner rock hard. By now I am in serious talks with both Nude and Harvester. The only thing that stings is that my first alu-crush, EGC, just flat out ignored me when I contacted them about a Series Five 30" all-aluminium baritone.

1) buy a 3D printer, print custom mounts, stands, and knobs for all the things
2) move my upright piano from my parents house to my house, have it tuned, continue learning to play it properly, possibly even take lessons
3) replace battery in DX7, upload factory presets, learn to program it
4) build the random DIY things I have laying around (AllFlesh, MIDI to CV thing, Sterling Silo 20)
5) circuit bend all the random shit I have laying around (Casio MT140, Boss DS-1, Korg Monotron Delay)
6) buy a proper mixer and monitors
7) buy a new amp (probably a Fender Bassbreaker)
8) buy a Polymoon
9) buy/build a 12 string electric

Likely 2019 goals, but who knows how 2018 will actually go:
1) buy an Intellijel 104hp 4U case and finalise my euro plans
2) buy a Make Noise Shared System Plus
3) video synthesis
So it's been like 10 hours since I posted this and I already need to edit it :facepalm: New 2018 goal, get an Elektron Digitakt (maybe trade or sell my Drumbrute for one because I doubt I'd be using it after getting a Digitakt)

Honestly not sure.

Maybe one of the Behringer Moog things that's due out.

I got everything and then some on my '17 list (and will be paying for one of the guitars most of the year).

My pedalboard costs approximately 191 Metal Zones.

I'm genuinely found the right pedal/amp setup for me and my simple needs. The only thing that I can feasibly need is some strap locks and new pups to replace my EMG 707s.
