Well, My bands first CD is done and out for sale. (www.phalanxmills.com if you want one) I decided last week that I want to try and reinvent my sound for each release, or era between recordings. SO I sold my main amp, and am going to force myself to rely on my 73 bassman. Have any of you ever done something like this?? I just think it would be cool to see where I can go when forced to use something different. Course... it might blow, but I dont' think it will =)
I think that intentionally limiting your "pallette", especially if you're a gearhead (guilty as charged!), can be a good jolt to your creativity. Go for it, F1sh!

Yeah thats exactly what Im in the middle of.... the big Whittle-down.... just Sold my modded '66 Super Reverb ( that hurt!) and the Marshall combo, and the Boogie and Trace are going next week...... doing the same with pedals, Im going to make myself get down to only 25 Overdrives and 40 pedals total ( )..... Im down to the good stuff now and its difficult..... but Im doing it in part to make myself get back to recording and writing especially.....hope it doesnt backfire...

Oohh Donner. I couldn´t do this. The prices getting higher. Maybe in some years you look for a other one and must pay much more cash.[/QUOTE]
Yeah it took a long time for me to let go of it... but Im getting realistic in my advanced years ,,, as much as I love that sound I dont need to play that loud anymore and the Deluxe and Vox does what I need anymore.....
