Talked with my wife last night about one, but it's not going to happen. LOL!!! She looked at me like "are you fucking nuts bro"? I knew it too because it's a guitar. Soooo, not cheap but it's a good damn deal and I want another guitar that's comfortable and is not a semi hollow. So I can have a multitude of tones. I do have a couple other guitars though and I could just like buy new tuner pegs and shit like that to upgrade it. Guitar is 1200 bucks but they are like 3-4k new and it's an Alpher Instruments guitar and fuck me I want it. I could sell stuff and buy it, but like, what if it sells first? Someone rationalize this with me?? Not going to do anything without my wife agreeing but she kind of alluded to that being ok. I counted yesterday and I have 97 guitar pedals...90 fucking 7. HOW ON EARTH? I also have two extremely expensive basses. Sooo, I have options. The guitar has been for sale for 5 months and is in the UK. GOD! I want! BUT must have money first!!!

How many pedals can you power at once?

I have two supplies but I never use over 5-6 anymore together. So, maybe 8 tops is what I'd want. I know. It's a sickness. The hard part is figuring out what I want and what I can live without. I know the answer is I can live without it all, but it's hard? I'm going to post a huge picture of stuff for sale probably today.

Can you remember the names of all 97? Ask someone to put the ones you don’t remember in a box. If you still can’t remember them the next day, then you should probably sell them.

I have slimmed the herd in a similar way more than once

It's in the UK, with international shipping as it stands, that sounds like a really bad idea... in my experience the longer things are in the postal service, the worse condition they arrive. Imagine your wife's alluding face when your new box of splinters arrives 2 months later.

This is why you should just forget about that guitar and get one with an aluminum neck

[Jwar]

I can remember what I have but not names all the time. Is that weird???


I've had instruments shipped from the UK before....that sucks to hear but also helps.

[Scruffie]

Yeah in regular times I'm sure it's fine but there are extreme delays at the moment, usual international post was about 2 weeks on average, now it can take up to 8.

I'm currently waiting on a guy to forward me a rack unit for repair from France that was originally sent in March, it came from the US, went to France, went back to the US, went to an island off France... and then ended up back at the senders in the US about 10 days ago.

[Jwar]

hahahah! I have had shit like that happen in normal times! LOL!!!! Fucking postal system sucks man! Oh well. I just listed over 20 pedals for sale. We shall see how it goes.
