Well I have been horsetrading for a while now and feel I can just chill out for a now and enjoy my setup, Maybe I am alone in this as I know we are all searching for the holy grail of tone, playability, and other things, but I finaly have a setup and no complaints, its lightweight easy and quick to setup and stays in tune like a dream.
2003 Carter SD-10
nash 400 with the head cut out and
put into a fender-like head cabinet, and the
BW 15 in another cabinet (thanks to a generous forumite). no pieces over 45 lbs, easy to get in and out of the car.
its bliss right now.
darn I just realized i am gonna want a Hilton pedal, so all is not perfect but pretty darn close.
Anyone else feel settled with their gear
or is everyone permanently horse trading? |

I've been playing the same rig since "84, so
I must be satisfied..wait I changed to a Goodrich pedal. I really think that I just don't know no better!

I'm stablized! I've used my 1972 Emmons dbl-8 with Session 400 and LA400 and ProFex II w/ Emmons foot pedal. Weighs a couple of tons but the enjoyment of playing this fine combination makes it all worth while. I purchased a conversion van which makes it somewhat easier to pack around.
Of course, I've been gigging with various
Rick Bakelites and my little Harmony 8 inch amp. It's about 27 lbs and the only way to go. The toughest thing I've found is waiting for the tubes to light up........... |

Me too,
I just traded in a steel and got me an Evans amp last week.
I now use: Sho-Bud SD10 Baldwin, Evans SE200, Goodrich L10K, John Pearse bar and George L cables.
However, it hurt to let my Sho-Bud Pro III Custom go

I'm very, very happy with the sound of my rig, but it leaves a lot to be desired in weight and ease of setup. The guitar is light enough. It's them darn tube amps that weigh me down.
