Mom works for JCrew so a bunch of really nice clothes, and an Ipod hookup for my car. My sisters pitched in and got me this cool little audio mixer as well. Fun stuff.

**INMY01TA** · 12-25-2008, 04:59 PM

Got the Flex da polisher and some pads, an Ipod touch (which I'm posting from), clothes, about $3,500 in cash, and bought myself a Taurus 357 magnum and a Mossberg 12 gauge. I did okay.

It has a Bareknuckle Pickups Cold Sweat in it which is a custom pickup handmade in the UK. It should sound awesome. I also got another Bareknuckle pickup to go in my Caparison in my avatar for Christmas but am waiting on it as well. It's called a Warpig. This is what it looks like. It is basically the most brutal sounding (and looking) pickup on the planet

Wow, thats awesome!!

Im gonna have to check those out.

I just got my Mesa Road King all set up to sell cause I have a guy interested.

Im planning on getting a ENGL Powerball once its sold.

Exactly that why I MUST have it. The Road King is an awesome amp but its mostly a studio amp and just has so many features and tones that I dont really need even though Im a tone Junkie.

I have a 2chan Mesa Dual Rec Rackmount that I use for live shows and thats a real basic version of the RK anyway.

The Powerball is just in a whole different league and ive been gassing for it for about 2 years.

Hopefully this guy will by my RK and I can pick up the Powerball a local guy has for sale.

What amp do you use?

ps3
LG Dare
Home Gym
Entertainment system
Gift cards
Sony home theatre

Pretty much the best xmas ever

Right now I am just using a POS Line 6 for practice. I really don't need a great amp right now as I'm not playing in a band, but I think I'm going to have to get something around tax return time as I am getting real tired of shit tone. I would love to get an Engl or VHT, but wont be able to spend that much coin. I will probably pick up a 5150 or 6505+.

ENGLs and VHTs are great amps but definitely cost a good amount. Also check out the 5150 III. That thing is amazing.

The 5150s and 6505s are nice too but definitely need a tube screamer in front of it to beef them up. You can get a real nice tone out of them but theres just something about the ENGLs tone that other amps cant match.

The other guitar player in my band uses a 5150II but hasnt changed his tubes in too long and it just doesnt sound too good but could sound a lot better.

My advice is to just go out and play and mess with every type of head you can in person. Dont forget about the cabs though, makes a big difference. I use an oversized Mesa Standard 4x12. I was playing a 6505 in guitar center the other day and running it through the Peavey matched cab and just wasnt feeling the tone. I switched it over to the Mesa Standard next to it and was in heaven. It made a huge difference.

Damn dude...you either know a lot of people or you're a spoiled shit.

I figure i'm gettin about a grand cash cuz my parents are paying for the deedwork on my land for xmas. They already shelled out 600-700 for the survey.

**Mr. Luos** · 12-25-2008, 07:20 PM

Some love from LS1.com as well....cover of the COTM calendar.

Got that right.

It was Sara's gift to me (that Julie bought, and claimed to put a 'lot of thought into,' even though I have told her for years to NEVER buy me a wallet).
