Oh!
now that I see HIAR:
My daughter snagged me up a Big Muff green russian DIY kit that I was looking up on.
Time for me to make my mexican themed pedal. "La Chocha Grande". In honor of my Mexican heritage.
My mother should love it.

Only thing I bought was my PRS Santana SE. Been looking for a new-to-me amp, but haven't bought anything as I don't know exactly what I want (small practice amp? something larger/louder for playing with others? modeling with built in effects? simple and straight forward using pedals?).

I bought a TON of new (to me) gear this year, although some of it was to flip, and much of what was bought to flip has in fact been sold. I switched jobs for the first time in about 28 years beginning in January, and was a bit more financially secure as a result. My income had been decreasing over the last few years, but my new employer paid me what I had been making when the prior firm had its best year. Plus, I kept 3 side clients from the prior firm to do occasional extra work for, and with those in addition to my new employer, I ended making about 1.5 times I had in 2012.
So, here we go, in roughly chronological order:
Right after Christmas, Paula was on year-end special brand new with Gibby gigbag for $499:
At the start of April I bought this Dean Cadillac X, with a Duncan in the bridge, to flip. I sold it to John, one of the bassists in First Things First, our church band, for about twice what I bought it for (which was still a fair price given the Duncan, and the fact that I bought for net to nothing):
A couple weeks later, the same craigslist seller, who was liquidating a batch of his stuff for good prices, listed this and I snapped it up. I will resell it for a profit eventually, but meanwhile it's a cool cheapie Gibson (the pickup is a GFS Dream 90, but it also came with the original Gibby ceramic HB, and the Gibson gigbag), which I did gig with Crash Pad in May, so I'm in no hurry to sell. My Crash Pad bassist, Joel, is interested in "Melody," so maybe he'll buy her with Christmas money.
In May I had an unplanned purchase. Although my birthday was in that month, this wasn't a self-birthday present. A friend who had gone through some temporary financial hardship lost this very cool Spearmint P-100 LP Special a couple years ago to a pawn. At the time I didn't have the dosh to buy it from him or from the pawn, and it happened to come back on the market, so I snapped it up. He can buy it back from me eventually when he can afford to, he's paid me a bit of its price already. And in the meantime I have a cool fun guitar, win-win! Here's Erin:
At the end of August, I bought another craigslist cheapie to flip. As it turned out, the seller was my friend Sterlo, and this had been his main guitar when he was playing in his band Today Doesn't Count. I had some repairs made, cleaned her up, bought a truss rod cover, and eventually (a couple weeks ago) sold her to Julie, the other First Things First bassist. I had called her Shannon, but Julie has renamed the guitar to "Gollum:"
In October, it occurred to me that I had been Stratless for a good year or so, so I started poking around craigslist for a cheapie to replace the Peavey Predator I'd sold (to John the FtF bassist). As it so happened, 2 cheapie Squiers (a blonde Standard and a Daphne Blue Deluxe) came on the market within 10 days or so of each other, so I bought them both and let them shoot it out:
I recently resold Rosie, the blonde Standard, to our FtF soundman, Randy, and kept Daphne.
Finally, on Black Friday I bought a Gibson SGJ on blowout from Muso's Friend, new with gigbag, shipped for $340. Then I spruced her up a bit with a pickguard (which I cut down to fit with my trusty Black and Decker mitre saw) and Bobbin Toppers. This is Shirley Girly, she's a keeper:
I also bought some small/midsize amps. At some point, an amp I'd sold to my Crash Pad rhythm guitarist (which he keeps saying he still has) came back on the market (probably so he could buy meth), and given that it has a cool provenance (previously owned by one of the guitarists in local Southern Rock band Blackfoot), I went ahead and bought it back from the pawn. It's an 80W Tube Works Mosfet with a 12" EV speaker:
Although I had no real need of it, this 30W 1x12 Vox AD30VT-XL Valvetronic hybrid came up on craigslist for a great price so I snapped it up. I've since used it a couple times for solo shows. Aforementioned crackhead rhythm guitarist broke the input jack at our most recent Crash Pad show (to no one's surprise, with no notice, he showed up to the gig with NO AMP) a couple weeks ago, though.
And lastly, one of the Strats I bought came with this little hybrid Kustom practice amp. Sometimes I use it in lieu of computer speakers with my laptop:
There ya go. I believe that's it.

This bears repeating. You're on report, misters!
Sorry, haven’t had much time at my computer lately and no idea if all the pics are on my web server.
Also, what's up with your rhythm guitarist, broski?

Just a dumb kid thinkin' he's livin' the punk rock dream. He was out of work for awhile, now he's regularly employed and running amuck.
Our old man drummer had been having health probs, and we hadn't been able to practice for our annual holiday toy drive gig, so we went to an open mic in the week before the show to get at least a few songs in together in lieu of a proper practice, and he shows up with his SG with a broken tuning peg, drunk and/or drugged off his ass. Tried to "fix" it with duct tape, and ignored me when I implored him to just use the spare guitar I brought. He dicked around through most of the 4 songs we were given, and we went on without him. He finally gave up and picked up a guitar the backliners had left onstage, which I was terrified he was going to fuck up (it was a Suhr Strat, and he was too stupid to know it was a pricey guitar, rather than a cheap copy), but fortunately we managed to get through our final song without him damaging it:
Immediately after the above debacle I had a short talk with his wife and bascially forbade him driving home, as at least she was less tanked than he was.
His parents are both alkies in varying/arguable stages of recovery, we used to have some real interesting shows when he first got in the band (he joined the band when he was still in high school) and they both came to the shows, so it's hardly surprising he's having problems growing up. Earlier this year he and his baby mama (they've since wed) got tanked and had a knockdown, someone called the cops, and his woman, who had blackened his eye, spent the night in the clink. She got pretrial intervention and walked when he refused to press charges.
He used to have a small Laney amp that I sold him a few years ago, given that I haven't seen it over a year (his excuse is that it's in his friend's warehouse outside of town), I'm sure he's sold or hocked that too. I have told the dumb fuck more times than I can count that he needs to loop his cable through an amp handle if he's going to jump around onstage; although he was less tanked at our benefit show than he had been at the above-pictured open mic, of course he failed to follow those directions, and I stupidly didn't doublecheck after him.
He's been in the band since 2006, the longest since anyone after me, so I'm hesitant to cut him loose for having a stupid personal life. After all, this is a punk rock band. But he's on thin ice at this point.
. That's great!
