Walking past Ca$h Converters, I spyed this little beauty in the window.

Â£14 later, I'm the proud owner of a Marshall Â½ Stack. So it's only a few inches high, and it's basicly a PC speack inside there, along with a 9V battery that is eaten alive when you put it into Overdrive. Still, it's Rock and Roll on the moo-ve!

Nuno Bettencourt recorded one of the guitar solos on III Sides to Every Story with one of those.

That is ubercute

I'd love to try recording some guitar on such a thing...
I have a small (though not that small!) Leem practice amp which sounds great.

It will prove intresting to patch through my practice amp, thus making a hybrid Marshall/Peavy setup.

<update>
My new guitar has been stuck in Customs at Auckland for two days according to the tracker - last updated 12:21 yesterday.

Hope this doens't mean it's going to cost a fortune, or they're going to make me go to Auckland to collect it (a 90min plane ride from here)

I'm dying to crank the volume and give it a spin

I seem to be having a bit of luck with Ca$h Converters at the moment. Today I picked up a Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal, boxed, manuals, flyers promoting the 2005 line-up of Boss stuff and it looks like it hardly used, all for a mere Â£15!

I think it's a bit late to go trying it out now, I guess I'll have to wait until morning.

It's got the original Roland battery still in it, wrapped in cellophane! It could be bankrupt stock/new/unused.

Result!

I ran it through my Korg AX-3G, it sounded sweet with lots of the echo and wah effects, though I did learn, you can't really distort an already distorted effect.

those little amps you can clip to your belt, and rock ANYWHERE!

Just like the one Steve Vai uses (if you were to add the Keeley mod that is).

My latest guitar a 1992 Gibson Les paul standard in burst,it was previously owned by a session player who toured with PREFAB SPROUT and various bands.
It was bought new and you can tell it was gigged al over the world it has a few nicks and bumps but it plays and sounds so good

The frets do need redressed but its playable as it is.I recently played some gigs in Germany with the band i play for,got a few people looking at the headstock to see how old it was.It weighs a ton compared to my 2006 les paul studio as its not chambered.It has a more rounded mellower sound than my studio as its been played for 16 years.Cost a bit mind Â£1000 seems mad when you can get a brand new one for Â£1399 ,but the standard of finish even with the faults and sound make it sound better than the new models.Quality control at Gibson is'nt the best at the present moment,just check any forum's on the net for horror stories about faulty guitars.With my other guitars i think my collection is complete,but i would'nt mind a telecaster now !!

Left Les paul studio 2006 Right les paul standard 1992
My other guitars

SG Standard 2007

Fender american standard stratocaster 2005 with the studio
