Inventory Update: First Quarter of 2012

Hi there, and Happy New Year!

Looking through my stuff, there are a few changes to my collection, and a few more changes to come. Here is what is around today:

1. 1978 Fender Precision Bass. Incredible condition and Antigua. Mmmm.

2. 1982 Fender JV Precision Bass. The earliest Japanese Fender bass I have ever seen. Loaded with Jamerson flats, and everything a P Bass should be..

3. 1983 ESP P-J Bass. Serial number 0008, and formerly owned by Masayoshi Yamashita of the Japanese metal band Loudness. You have to have a PJ bass around.

4. 1983 Tokai Love Rock LS-50. The best sounding and playing Les Paul I have ever owned, and that is saying a lot.

5. 1986 ESP PPJ-160. The flat-out coolest bass I own. I will be writing about this one later on this month.

6. 2008 Fender Custom Shop 59 Re-issue Precision Bass. This one is one the chopping block. Drop me a line if you are interested. It is a peach!

7. 2009 Fender Mustang Bass. Candy Apple Red, competition stripes, and fresh out of Japan. Sweet!

8. Kala Tenor Ukulele. Also on its way out, as I have a sweeter one coming in.

9. Kala solid mahogany soprano ukulele. A great travelling companion, and a fond souvenir of Hawaii.

10. Cordoba 25TKCE Ukulele. On loan to a friend, but I will be selling this one too.

11. Simon & Patrick Songsmith dreadnought. This solid acoustic is still hanging in there; it is still a super-popular post for this blog.

12. Simon & Patrick Woodland 12-string acoustic. I will need to write this one up this month too.

13. Martin D-18V. I should play this more often, so I do not forget how much I like it.

14. Orpheus Valley Guitars Rosa Morena. A sweet Bulgarian Spanish guitar.

15. Sterling by MusicMan AX20. Perhaps the ugliest guitar I own, and also up for sale.

16. Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 with two 12-inch Shuttle cabinets. How is it that I still have this set-up? Probably because it is so awesome!

17. Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0-8T. A powerhouse for its size, and a nice value on the used market.

18. Cave Passive Pedals. These are the still the only products on my pedalboard besides my trusty Boss tuner.

19. Fender Blues Junior III amplifier. A great amplifier for the money.

20.Fender Vibro Champ XD. I have been having a miserable time trying to sell this. I might have to trade it in at Guitar Center for a new set of strings or something.

Good thing I only do this once a quarter. It seems like I could do it once a week.

Mahalo!
