Winter NAMM 09! (new gear porn)

God damn, this is a weird feeling, its like being locked away and being set loose in a huge music warehouse 20 years later. Everythings comes at once! Insane stuff.
 
Marcus: Ampeg has stated that it shouldn't be regarded as a toy in the least bit. Supposedly it is every bit of SVT tone in a smaller package is all. It's an actual SVT amp inside that little guy. And at 200W it will be cranking out some decent dB.

MT01: Fuck shark tooth inlays! Can't stand that shit :lol: Offset dots FTW. TOM looks retarded on an Ibby for some reason, RGs anyway. The neck-thru and mahogany wings, and stock 81 in the bridge can help to make me forgive them for the hardtail :p Not that it bugs me anyway though.

Fail.

This is how you do it:

Srsly, would love to have one...
 
Ooh, ESP released the H-401 in blue, fuck yeah...the rest of their lineup is really lame though, I agree (especially "Metal Mulisha," dear god :rolleyes: )
 
The word is that the Schecter 8 will be in that cherry finish only...in which case I say fuck that, the LTD FM-408 is much more appealing than the black cherry HellRaiser C8...for me anyway ;)

That small Ampeg is going to find it's way into my possession, that's fo sho. $299 MSRP, probably $200 or $230 or something retail. I :headbang:'ed.

Have you ever tried tuning a 25.5" to F# or F-standard? I have... :puke: The Sc608b's (and sc607b's as well) body woods were switched to alder BTW, which is cool!

I'm gassing for that little Ampeg as well... Have to try it first though, you can get a Backline 600 for cheaper here, at least at the current prices at Thomann.
 
I just can't dig Peavey's new "droopy sack" aesthetic or whatever. Not sure about the lighting either, but I'm pretty sure that would be easy to disable.

HOWEVER, I have always thought the Windsor looks good with the "droopy sack".

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAhaha, that's such a perfect way to put it, and I agree, it fits on the Windsor but nothing else (especially the bizarrely named 3230)
 
I think it might have to do with all of peavey's other stuff having straight edges that clash with the droopy sack's curved figure. The windsor is full of rounded edges and it works awesome there, i love the way the windsor looks.
 
If one could mod that faceplate, because I'm sure that one piece would come off and could be replaced....and those LED's could be a different color (like red or something, I dunno, maybe blacklight LED's)...then that could actually look cool. Just as long as it isn't GO-SLOW-STOP (Green, Yellow, Red) like my Ultra+. Stupid.
