I miss my gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I moved up here to Nova Scotia, I had to leave all of my gear behind, with plans of having it all shipped up at a later date. I had no idea that the date would be sooooo much later . There's no telling when I'll be able to have it all shipped up... and this makes me sad . Especially now that I'm in a band, I could use some of this gear more than ever now. Here's a list of all the music gear I have waiting to be shipped up: Guitars:-PRS Custom 22 -Yamaha AES620 -Fender MIM Tele -Fender Redondo acoustic -Takamine 12-string acoustic/electric -Peavey Grind BXP NTB 6-string bass Amps:-Peavey 5150 2x12 combo -Peavey Valveking 1x12 combo -'61 Gibson GA-5 1x8 combo -Marshall 1960a 4x12 cabinet Effects:-Ernie Ball volume pedal -Cry Baby wah *took the rest of them with me Rack & Recording:-Peavey Rockmaster all tube guitar preamp -Behringer DEQ2496 digital EQ -PreSonus Comp16 compressor -Line 6 FBV floorboard for PODxt -Yamaha MG 12/4 mixer -MXL 990 condenser mic -SM57 dynamic mic -2 AKG D 8000 mics -a couple mic stands -M-Audio BX8 studio monitors -2 Furman power conditioners -Crown C1000 power amp -JBL JRX125 PA speaker tower I don't know why I'm torturing myself with this thread, but I just needed to whine about it . Feel free to just move along and let it die...

I feel your pain dude, can't you get it smuggled up to Nova Scotia maybe drug runners could hide it all in a shipment of cocaine or somethin on a serious note, do you have much longer to wait before you can get your gear up there?

I'm sure it'll still be a while yet . I'm not really allowed to work yet (don't have a work permit, and we're still getting all the immigration crap sorted out) so I can't afford to have it shipped right now. It'll cost a couple grand to get it up here. So, untill I can get a job (actually have a possible offer), or we win the lottery, I'm stuck just dreaming about it. It's not like I don't have anything to play on, because I do... a pretty damn fine setup if you ask me. But, it's no replacement for the rest of my gear. The day that I get to jam with these babies again will be a glorious day!

It's a really cool amp! Add an EQ pedal and use your volume knob liberally, and you can get some really nice tones out of it. It is quite loud for only 5 watts too! I used it to push my Marshall 4x12 once, and it was ridiculous! It works best single coils, but humbuckers are nice through it as well. There's actually nothing special at all about it's tone... it's just a fun amp to play through.

What about a road trip ?
Maybe hire a U-hall or something?
Man gear depravation gives me the shivers !
I was without "everything in the US" for 2 months at the beginning of the year when we moved from the USA to the UK and it sucked.

Unfortunately, lack of funds, and all the immigration stuff is keeping us from going to get it ourselfs. I'd love to rent a U-Haul and take a road trip to get it all, but it's just not a good time, or very possible right now. Come the end of December, it'll be a year that I've been without my gear
