Thanks, that was taken in early 2022, and I'm kinda dreading updating the photo, haha. Definitely an all-day procedure. I still have most everything in that shot. But not all. I sold the baby Vox (Valvetronix) 30W 1x10 (having then just gotten the big brother AC30cc2), and also sold the blond MosValve 1x12, and the Laney TF100. I'm looking to sell a few more of what's in the pic (the Crate bass head, and the Marshall 5210 50W 1x12 combo).
As you might expect, there have been a few additions since 2022, as well. First, this Lead 100 MOSFET 3210 head:
And this Fender Bassbreaker 18/30 2x12:
And this 100W Peavey Valve King VK 212 (which I plan to flip, given that I have 3 other 2x12s-- Vox, Fender, and Ampeg all of which are in lower wattages than 100W, which I prefer as more manageable):
And lastly, I finally got an Ampeg bass head (see above photo of MIJ Squier P-Bass) to pair with my vintage SVT flatback fridge cab. The head's not a "real" SVT, in the sense that it's one of Ampeg's solid state heads, not tube. But that'll still do fine for me. In fact, I'll hafta be a little careful with it, since the head is rated at 450W at 4 ohms and the vintage 4 ohm cab is only rated at 240W. I reckon having more power than I can use is better than not having enough. And the Crate head it's replacing is 200W, so a smidgen anemic.

I think I've posted live shots of all of these except the Duo-Sonic and the Strat. The Duo has never been gigged, I'm holding onto that sheerly for sentimental reasons.
The Strat, I have very rarely gigged. I took it to practice for my main band, and it just doesn't work for our sound (old school punk rock and roll), or at least my other guitars are much better suited. This may be the only "live" shot I have playing the Strat, at my 60th birthday party, with a side band that did performance art/experimental/weirdmusik. And it's not very good of the Strat or me. But in that band I was sorta a co-Music Director (the frontperson, seen here with a keyboard, who writes and sings the songs, is essentially a non-musician, primarily a painter) so I was set up in this case in front of the band to give them cues.

A new addition to the FMIC herd, but only a temporary one. Picked up this Squier Mustang for peanuts. Will keep for a short time and resell for a 30 or 40 buck profit. I don't need an eighth, haha!

I have been remiss. Never posted up a photo of my Fender goodies.
My one and only Fender guitar. MIM Strat modeled with a Well Hung Strap.
And my one and only Fender amp. An early 70s Vibra Champ that actually belongs to my Bride. It came with her when we got married in 78.
