Yeah, I really love this guitar (it's a Revelation offset with Alan Entwhistle pick-ups, a kinda perfected jazzmaster) and as it's new it has a perfect finish.
But the damn fret-ends are annoying so I'm soon gonna habve a martini and then file away at it, especially since I spent the US$50 or so on the tools for that purpose.
FWIW, I also bought a Revelation Bass VI without that issue.
Oh, and my latest purchases are a Earthquaker Organizer (cool organ-emulater pedal), A Sterling 6050 (the Alan Sides Ocean Way FET), and a little Ampeg B108 bass practice amp, what records deliciously, especially with that Bass VI, and the Organizer pedal sounds great with 'em!

I've just bought an ART PRO VLA II opto compressor, but I have to try it yet!

Always wanted an udu drum, and I finally got one! It's a Meinl, made of mango wood. They only made those for a few years. It doesn't have the ringing quality of the clay ones... not better or worse, just different. I like it.
Then, shortly after getting that, I was walking home and saw some stuff that was left out for people to take (or go in the trash). Among other things I wasn't interested in was a nice wooden cigar box, and a large glass vase almost exactly the same shape as my udu. So I made a hole in the side, and it sounds great... more like a traditional ceramic udu than my wood one.

Found a green face Altec 1678 for $50 at a local electronics surplus warehouse. Someone had replaced all the female xlr inputs with male xlr. It took me a while to find replacements that fit. Beyond that I wired in 20db pads and did the direct out mods suggested by RodC in an ancient thread.
It's pretty great. The output is a bit low but if I run my adat ins at -10 it's perfect.

Just rec'd a new 1x12" cab, but the driver is blown. Seller from the Ebog did the right thing, and I just ordered a Kappa to repurpose the cab from guitar to bass practice.
Gotta EBS multi-drive - very nice and useable on guitar or bass.
Bought a bunch of outlet extensions as I am re-wiring the bedio after a drain back-up incident. Bought a dolly to put under my equip. rack, also. 4 partial days of clean-up and re-wiring. And I hadd buy a new UPS battery.
Also recently bought Reaper, and Izotope Elements for quick "masturding".

I bought a Zvex pedal earlier this year - the Distrotron, and really love it. That's a really good pedal company, IMO.
I have a Little Bear clone of the Wooley Mammoth and while I've never tried a real one, like that, also. They are pretty unique distortions, usable on both bass and guitar, but especially cool on bass.
It is, BTW, my only indie clone - I just can't afford a real WM. That said, of course, legit companies clone others, ex., the Rocktron Austin Gold is like a Centaur as is the Rockett Archer, various Way Huge Pedals are like B-Muffs and/or Rats, even the MXR Distortion + is a variation on the DOD 250 (like a clone plus distortion via germanium vs. silcon diodes) ...
