Gear Goals 2019

[Eivind August]

I should probably sell one of my SGVs since I am (as of yet) unable to play both at once.

A little late to the party as most of your lists are earlier, but:

- Keep practicing keyboard & learning how to compose with this instrument
- Not bring a million things for my tour rig, and be happy about it (currently my rig is at Organelle, CZ-1, & OP-1 with Shallow Water, Tensor, and Dark World & I'm pretty content)
- Do bring a few extra things on tour for funsies, like my SP to make beats and stuff in the van
- Get a road case for my keyboard
- Liquidate a couple grand of gear to go towards eliminating my debt (and I really mean it this time!!!!!)
- Allow a few impulse purchases (new Make Noise & Mutables always welcome), but largely focus on getting better with what I have
- Record more than last year

Where are you gonna get your road case? I've never bought one individually, rather just acquired them with various gear purchases over the years. I need a case for my Model D, but the official Moog ones are fucking $$$550$$$. Absurd.

[baremountain]

I'm not too sure, I had people suggest Sweetwater. My friend got a few SKB cases from there and they seemed durable as heck when we did a little jaunt across the south last May. He may even let me borrow his for at least the first tour, which would actually be hella nice lol. Not sure how big the Model D is, but it might fit in one of the SKBs which seem to be more around the $200-400 range, which is still kinda a lot but I get it.

Yeah I mean, I don't mind paying a decent bit but I don't wanna pay a couple extra hundo for a big logo

One thing to look at for synth/keys stuff are the multi-use cases (the Pelicans etc) for guns/cameras/video gear.

Sometimes cheaper than alternatives, and will work well if the item fits!

[popvulture]

Yeah the vid production guys I work with use Pelicans for everything. They're rad. Wonder if they make one big enough at the proportions of a Minimoog, haha... would definitely not mind that config.

I'm the process of selling all the gear I don't use. Feels pretty good, actually. Pedals and synths are much easier for me to sell than guitars and basses though.

It's like that time of year or something...

[dubkitty]

if i even wanted to sell guitars, the only ones anybody would conceivably want are the two Tokais and the Rickenbacker 360. nobody's gonna want a parts Strat, a hot-rodded Gretsch Pro Jet, the totally revamped to 22.5" scale Squier Duo Sonic, or the Epiphone SG with the Vibrola on. and especially not the two arcane eBay parts guitars. maybe the Eastman 000 acoustic, but i wouldn't even consider that. i'm OK with it, though...make me have guitars with a broad variety of available sounds, i dare ya!

[codetocontra]

Everything is sellable if it is priced right. Someone will find a value in those guitars, though you might expect more. You can always move something if the price is right. But if you enjoy them then why bother considering it?

[Toonster]

I wanna buy a cab, something tubescreamer style to put in front of the fuzz and I wanna build a wild idea for a new guitar!

I don't know, man. I haven't been able to give away my old 16-track Peavey powered mixing board. I started using it again, rather than have it hauled away.

i feel the same.
Speaking of electric guitars i have managed to buy and sell just 3 or 4 of those some years ago, but right now i have three and i don't think i will ever be able to get rid of those

Give away meaning free?
