I guess at least you're consistent with your GAS, which can't be said for everyone here.

No thanks. That speaker combo works too well. Just wish the amp and cab wasn't quite so big for my backup tube amp.

I'd definitely try some tron style pickups in the Robin. Cheapish way to know once and for all how far that guitar can go for you.

Lollartrons are a definite possibility.

Whaddayamean??!?!?! It's not like I started here with a cheap black LTD with a floyd rose, and an HD500 and ended up with a la cabronita and an AC15 or something! :rofl:

Ha! If you're really interested I could probably be persuaded by the right number of magic beans.

I'm a little over-spent on magic beans this month, tbh, but can you drop me a PM Ben with a ballpark number to mull over. :)

I would need a proper test drive too, of course, because your playing can make anything sound good... Mine, not so much.
