I'm not really in a position to purchase a new guitar right now, but man, I have some serious guitar lust for the Reverend Double Agent III:

These guys make pretty cool customizable guitar straps out of old seat belts. I just bought a delightfully tacky one for my acoustic.

Looking for a cabinet. Plugged that Terror through a Mesa Boogie 2x12 and I had someone ask me to turn it down because he couldn't hear himself talk. Sounds killer.

If you find a head, mix and match it with cabs to see what you can get. When you dime the volume and gain, it sounds pretty great for a hybrid amp and 20 watts. The Micro Terror sounded great through this old, beat up, used Fargen cab. Some great deep tones, but I'll probably end up with a 1x12 because of the price. The Transatlantic and Lone Star 1x12s are sweet.

i just bought a couple of used Shure SM57's and a bunch of cables (2x TRS to TRS, 1x XLR to TRS and 1x XLR to XLR). i figure it never hurts to have a couple SM57's around.

Agreed, man. I've got one of those myself. They're an excellent snare mic. :thumbsup:

It was up north of the state at one of the TAFEs there (I think they're called community colleges in the U.S.?) A friend of ours recorded our album for his course, which meant it was totally free too (apart from amp hire - our guitars used four of them). Two of the tracks are in my sig.

It was so much fun and so awesome to record somewhere like that with the facilities they had for free.
