Guitars anyone???
-
Duane would be on my list. Dickey too. My dad’s an Allmans nut, so I was raised on that stuff — their first album is my fave, particularly love the Beginnings mix. Don’t Want You No More into It’s Not My Cross to Bear is one of my favorite musical performances, ever. Unbelievably good.

Oh man, very cool! Old stuff?

Oh man I'm sure I'd love to check some of those out sometime. I wonder if any of them have Jack Pearson on them — I'm not sure when exactly he played with them, but it was for a short stint, might've been in the 90s, even. Anyway, he's insanely good, really one of the best guitarists I've ever seen. If you've ever seen that Gregg Allman tribute concert that airs on AXS sometimes, Jack's his band leader. Really understated looking guy, playing a cheap Fender Squier and blowing everyone else off the stage.

Derek Trucks is easily in my top 5 favorite living guitarists. I really love Tedeschi Trucks Band and think they’re among the best live acts out there. That said, I do miss Derek Trucks Band and its more jazzy and world music orientation. They would not be quite the same without Yonrico Scott and Kofi Burbridge (both huge losses for music) should they ever reunite.
I do have a poster signed by TTB, The Wood Brothers, and Hot Tuna:

Speaking of Derek and Eric, I've seen TTB do a great cover of "Anyday." Derek really is an insane player. His understanding of slide is mind-boggling to me.

Decided I wanted something with more strings so have got one of these on the way
Treating it as a project guitar, the plan being to chuck a set of sperzel machineheads, tusk nut and bareknuckle polymaths on it, and get a really thorough set up done. Then I’ll be able to play Meshuggah to my heart’s content -
Nice. Love LTD instruments. Whats the scale length? And tuning? Cant say ive seen an 8 string before.

Love seeing the gear thread here. Huge Allman Bros head as well…
Here is some of my gear.
Brand new Bass Half & Half made by the Milkman. Absolutely love this thing. Been gigging with it lately and its the sound I've wanted for years
This is my Fender MIJ J Bass. 84 I think… Just about every show I've played has been with this guy. I've bought many basses and I always get rid of them and go back to my true blue. It's my best friend
Random tele I put together over covid. Put a lollar lapsteel pickup on the bridge and a goldfoil on the neck. It's super cool but I don't really play it too much…
-
Machinehead upgrade on my 8-string. Just got to tidy up the holes left by the old ones
-
I know many of you guys have some awesome setups, my Blackstar has recently given up on me and I'm loathed to spend over a grand on the Fender I had my eye on originally. Any suggestions for a sub $1k amp? Really only for use in my apartment so hasn't got to be massive!
Cheers!
-
one of those Fender Princeton Reverb reissues should work nicely. Either the '65 or '68 reissues are nice, and easy to upgrade the speaker down the road if you want to.
EDIT: Don't remember what Fender you had mention before. Has was it those same ones I just mentioned?
-
68' Princeton Reverb was on my radar back in early 2021. I may just have to take the plunge!

It's a great one, especially for apartment use. Lightweight, takes pedals well, sounds great just directly plugged in as well depending on what guitar you're playing into it. Plus they're used prices have pretty much plateaued, so if you pick one up and decide it's not for you, should be able to unload and break even.
