Gassing for ESP Floyd machine. My Eclipse is probably the best guitar I've ever had, now to find a wang-bar equipped equivalent. Maybe a Soloist or something could also work.
Loving it so far

Like bloody buses, nothing for ages, then 5 come along at once. There's at least five I want on TM right now.

Couldn't have come along when I was cashed up, they all turn up now the missus has spent it all.

Must admit something solid and P90 wouldn't go amiss.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I'll bring down my blue Tele one day.

So much gas for so many things that I'm going to just not buy anything for a while.

The TV Yellow LP Special I sold recently would've served you well, especially since, IIRC, you like chunky necks. Not sure if Epiphone is not too low for your taste...

Do you want the PRS back? I meant it when I said it was yours again if you want it :)

I'm looking for a combo. I was invited to a jam session last week, but the only amp I have is a 100w mesa through a 4x12 and I don't want to be that guy, as fun as it is, and deal with the hassle of loading and unloading a behemoth.

There was a sweet mesa f30 I missed out on and the current crop of combos on tm isnt tickling my pickle. Good things are being heard about the blackstar mk2 things so that might be worth a look, or a laney Lionheart if there's one for cheap. All I know is it needs an FX loop and not be 5 ft tall and weigh 150lbs.

Lionheart all the way for me. Love mine and one of ampdom's best kept secrets imo.

Couple more beers and I might smash the buy it now button on that Dano 12.

Thanks Jb, that's really good of you. But the GASsing thread was never rooted in action :rofl: I have no budget for more gear, I have everything I actually need and gas is just that.

I've been making sounds lately that actually require a Lester with Bigsby and a Firebird pickup. But as always, a Telecaster's got it covered perfectly well.
