For the Europeans: Thomann is selling the Alpha 2502n switch for $3.62. This is the switch Ibanez uses to get 5 incredibly useful sounds out of a dual humbucker guitar. The only tricky thing about it is both pickups need to be bridge positions for the split position to be hum canceling:

Did some modding this weekend:

1. Installed the 2502n. Neck pickup sounded bad in parallel (too weak) so I reversed it to make the bridge be the parallel position. Sounds phenomenal.
2. Put the middle pickup on its own volume pot so I can swell into the bridge from the softer position, Carlos Santana-style
3. Installed a PBT (Passive Bass Treble) into my 3 x P-90 guitar. Now it can do Strat sounds.

Not bad for $4 worth of parts!

This guild polara that sweetwater is giving away looks pretty cool for $500. The bat wing cut is not my fav, but this ones not overly rounded so I don't mind it too much. Tho it could just be the cool
black paint job...

*Hmm I thought they were giving one away, but I can't find the email now. They do have a giveaway
if you make a wish list up until the 31st, maybe that was it.

I played my aria Lp copy through an Orange rockerverb 30 amp at the weekend.
It sounded incredible, a magic combination of guitar an amp. It’s going for $750 used.
My heads doing all kinds of calculations on how to justify this purchase as I am kinda broke atm (!) and definitely don’t need another amp

But that tone tho. It does jangly indie AND filthy dirty hairy rock .. both!
I played Mr Brightside riff it sounded amaze-balls.
I play Zep riffs also amaze balls. Wow.

“ but if I sell this , and this and this , then borrow from so and so .. layby and downpaymebts..
It could be THE ONE must have it

Finally purchased the Line6 Powercab 112+ for my partner's Line6 Helix to complete the deal, and she's playing her Fender Strat and Alvarez electric/acoustic on it now. It sounds better (and louder, 250 watt 12") than I thought it would, and it can produce a good range of tones once you get your pedals and cab+amp sims connected. We are using the L6 link cable so the Helix knows the 112+ is there and what cab or IR it is using and can put it in routing. Im glad I paid the extra money for the plus model because the integration is nice!

For a power amp, its loud and very clean. Surprising low noise floor even on my bad house power. Good stuff, and a birthday gift for the partner. Happy new gear day and whatnot, lol.
