Woa, How you even keep track of your stuff is amazing. I dont think I have ever written down what I have, because its always changing. I need something, I buy it, someone says " I like that" and I decide I dont need it any more and I sell it or trade it. I have stuff in boxes I have no idea what I have. I kind of hope that something becomes " a classic" and I can sell it for huge bucks. I did that with my Aarp Oddesy in 1982... I should have waited another 37 years and it would have become priceless. But no, I got my 400 bucks back I paid for it and thought I was a genius.

I just bought a Gallien-Krueger MB500 Fusion bass head. It's supposed to arrive on Thursday.

I sold one of my Strats back to the guy I bought it from. That was our deal - he'd give me a great deal on the Strat, but if I ever sold it I'd have to sell it back to him, lol. I haven't had either of my Strats out of their cases for a few months and now mostly play my Guild electric when I want to noodle around.
Just need to sell a couple more things and then I'll get some sort of (lightweight) 2x10 cabinet for the bass and gigging will be a breeze.

Will do. I plan to try a few different ones out. Weight is a big factor. G-K makes a 2x10 that seems to have good reviews and the price is right. I'm also considering MarkBass, but they are pricey. Eventually I would consider getting an identical 2x10 cabinet to get full wattage out of my amp and/or just to be able to leave one at the band rehearsal room and still have one for at home and gigs.

So what would be a cheap way to record something at home providing you have instruments already? I have a couple of mikes as well, and have done a few things with cassette recorders, but it's not real efficient. Is there a free app or something you can buy cheaply?
Reaper is a very low cost DAW.

Here's a free DAW app which is small and efficient, yet does what it needs to. One doesn't even have to register it to use it.

Ok, thanks I'll look at them. Much appreciated.
Loving my new G-K. In some ways it doesn't sound that different from my Ampeg, but it's more punchy and tight...less muddy, more articulate. And there is a far greater variation of tones available than the Ampeg. A couple of reviews mentioned this amp had one of the best line outs they'd heard, so I'm hoping to try that out soon and see if I'm happy with that as a recording option.

I was looking around on Youtube and here's some more free DAWs. I don't know anything about any of them, or which might be the easiest to get up and going. Just sharing.
Whoa, that Kristal Audio Engine has one ugly interface, lol.

Looking at buying a Washburn Classical thinline guitar. I found a new one at a pawnshop and I was surprised at its playability. I only have a cheapo classical right now, but I think I deserve something better than something that you have to retune every 2 minutes. The Washburn has a built in tuner, which is a simple feature I like very much.

Finally got around to buying a reverb/delay pedal for my guitar rig. I got a Keeley Delay Workstation. It sounded pretty good...except for the extremely loud CLICK when stepping on the Delay button. Turning on the Reverb didn't seem to have the same issue. Oh well. I returned it and will save my pennies for a Strymon Big Sky.

A Few gear updates from me:
Added a Mooer Micro-Compressor to my Chinese pedal board, so that's now: Boss Chromatic Tuner --> Mooer Micro-Compressor --> Blackstar HT Metal Valve Distortion Unit --> Boss Super Chorus --> Boss Wazacraft Analogue Delay.
Also took the opportunity of being at home in the summer to put together a UK pedalboard, too. This comprises:
Rowin Chromatic Tuner --> Joyo Compressor --> Crybaby Wah --> Blackstar LT-Dual Distortion --> MXR Micro-Flanger --> Joyo Vintage Phaser -- > Joyo Digital Delay. I've also stuck the channel-changing footswitch from my much-modified Peavey Triumph to the board as well.
I would post pictures, but PE keeps telling me the files are too big!! I've said it before, but it's worth re-iterating, some may sniff at Joyo pedals because they're cheap and Chinese, but I've found them to be built like tanks and they sound superb. The Vintage Phaser in particular is an absolute revelation, as it's virtually indistinguishable in sound from the MXR Phase 90 it's based on - true bypass, too!
After much deliberation, I also decided to bring my Ibanez S6 CST back to China with me. As a limited-edition J Custom model (one of apparently 12 of this model in the world), I was rather hesitant to do this, as I was terrified it would either get wrecked or simply disappear. In the end, though, I decided that it was just too good an instrument to spend all of its time stuck in its case at my mother's, and that it needed to be played regularly. Thankfully, it survived the trip unscathed in an Ibanez moulded semi-flight case, and I can all-too-vividly recall just how relieved I was to see it appear on the luggage conveyor at Shanghai Pudong Airport!! Will be interesting to see if the very thick neck on this guitar copes with the Ningbo humidity better than my Charvel does.
I went to visit an old band mate last week to deliver him some song files I had pitch-shifted down a whole step (his computer had crashed). When I left he gave me some gear someone left at his house years ago that he didn't want. There is a Sabine rack mount tuner (no power supply), a Boss expression pedal of some sort (could come in handy at some point), and a Behringer Virtualizer rack mount multi-effects processor. I now have the Virtualizer connected in the effects loop of my guitar amp, so for now I have some reasonably decent reverb and delay and it didn't cost me a thing.
