'68 Fender Reverb Unit
Squier Strat
Crate keyboard amp

I hope to eventually replace the Crate amp with a Blues Jr., or, if money was no object, a nice Twin Reverb.

Regardless, I think I've pretty much nailed the ideal trad rig, so, yeah.

I'm lovin' the reverb unit! Looks like it's right out of Dr. McCoy's Lab on Star Trek! Never seen one like that. Is it tube or solid state? By the way, I get great sounds out of my crate powerblock. I'm willing to bet your little crate has a better clean surf sound than a Jr., although the Jr. would be a great all around little amp.

ditto on the crate sound...my powerblock sounds swell with a Fender Reverb and a 2x12" Celestion Cab...

it's not my main recording rig...but it sounds super-good for practice...

I play my Legacy through a Fender bassman 25 and love it.

I like this Board because there are a lot of serious pros that have great bands mixed with some beginners and hobbyists like me.

Thanks, I had never seen one before either. It's a solid state model.

Oh yeah, my laminated cardboard Hondo strat copy sounds so amazing through a Gorilla solid-state practice amp! It makes other guitar players spontaneously combust with tone envy, and makes women swoon and faint.

And of course the best reverb can only come from a Line 6 Pod. Everyone knows that.

Whoa, cool! You wouldn't want to trade, would you? Gorilla amps are nearly impossible to find in my neck of the woods.

you just gotto love the combo of that faux neck-through-body design of the Hondo with the off-color maple neck.

you guys have all the cool gear.

Ive got afriend who plays in a band called "loco gorilla" - because the one guitarist has a loco amp, and the other has a gorilla amp.

Hmmm, I always had Zak pegged as a Cort man. Next he'll be telling us he plays some cheap guitar made out of masonite with lipstick tubes for pickups.

Probably even came with an amp built in the case!
