Another day

Saturday, March 24, 2007

So, I survived the trip to Houston on Wednesday....throbbing head and all. The cut itself isn't hurting me as bad now, but I've got this fantastic pounding/throbbing headache that refuses to cease.

So on Thursday, I got to sit around the office not doing much all day.....which was kinda nice.

But then, Friday had another trip to Houston in store for us. Another round of meetings with companies...trying our best to impress them with our good looks and vast knowledge of everything known to man. To top off the day and make it worth the trip.....a stop by Guitar Center, a.k.a. "The Greatest Retail Store in the Known Universe". Seriously, they should market that slogan.

So, I've been looking at getting another guitar amp. I've had 2 bigger amps for a while now, and really needed a lower wattage, smaller amp. Something that won't blow everyone away in smaller spaces and in the studio like my Hot Rod Deville does now. So I brought along my other amp, the Vox AD120VT (I think that's the model), and decide I'll see if I can get rid of it as a trade in towards something else. I'd been looking and researching certain amps already, stuff that was just simple and would get the job done...nothing fancy or expensive. I wasn't even giving myself the option of looking at the amp I really truly wanted, just because I wanted to stay a little lower on the price scale. But, of course, when I get to the store and play through the different amps, everything changes. There was just no comparison....and you just can't ignore the difference in sound quality and all that mess. So, I shot down the idea of getting any of the 3 that I had originally been looking at, and ended up coming home with the Vox AC15...which is the amp I truly wanted from the beginning. And, it's still like 1/4 of what I could have paid for some crazy expensive boutique amp if I really didn't care about spending money and getting killed when I get home. i.e. Matchless, Bad Cat, Orange, Dr. Z, Divided by 13, etc.

So anyways, I'm extremely happy with my stuff now. I'll have to post a picture and list of my gear now. But for now....I'll keep you all waiting on the edge of your seats...
