Welcome to The Tone Rooms
You will be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.

[Brian Krashpad]

Did someone say "pictures of gear?"

I got you, man. Amp-wise, here is a photo taken in 2022:




I have all the above, minus the baby Vox (Valvetronix), and the MosValve. I've added a few more amps. One is a Lead 100 MOSFET Marshal 3210 head::



Another is this Fender Bassbreaker 18/30:



And this Peavey ValveKing VK212 (100W combo), which I will probably flip:



And I'll be selling my Crate BX200 bass head, having just obtained this Ampeg SVT 450 head:

I still have all of the above, but am in process of selling the white Epi LP Special. Have acquired a couple more.

That’s a sweet selection man. Years ago a friend let me borrow his Ovation Breadwinner and he had to fight me for it back.

He won though, but I still think about it sometimes

Yeah, not big on birdies or aquarium quilt.

Welcome to the madhouse Mr Krashpad.

Welcome!

Yo Brian,

I have a friend named Kevin Couchsurfer. He wants to meet you.

 

[Robb]

Howdy and welcome, amateur....

Yo Brian,

I have a friend named Kevin Couchsurfer. He wants to meet you.

Haha, the name is from a band name, rather than any personal proclivity. I've had an old school punk rock band called Crash Pad since 1996. 20 years or so ago I was doing a local radio interview on a friend's show, and on the spur of the moment he introduced me as "Brian Crashpad," rather than "Brian from Crash Pad." My legal last name actually starts with a K, so I adopted that spelling so I could always use my initials, BK, no matter which persona I was in. Even though the band is spelled with a C.

Here's our third DIY album, have fun, play loud:

Crash Pad: Cops & Punks

Flex!! Also, all hail the mighty Duo Sonic. And the Kustom in metallic blue tuck n roll.

Welcome Bri, seen you around the web various places, a disturbance in the force so to speak!

 

[eclecticsynergy]

Welcome to the community. Nice assortment of gear!

Ah yes, ol' Sonia!

That was my first really playable electric guitar. When I bought it it was slathered in house paint. You could actually see the brush strokes, haha. My late father stripped it for me and refinished it, I believe simply using lemon oil. It has a nice satin finish at this point. For the longest time it had no headstock markings, but 7 or 8 years back I finally got round to getting a replacement decal, which I think looks pretty authentic.





If only someone else could've come up with $67.60, the world might have been spared!

Thanks (to everyone)! Haha, yeah, I keep turning up-- like a proverbial bad penny!

That’s interesting. Back around 06/07 when I decided it was time for my first electric. Because I had an Ovation acoustic, I was checking out the Ovation sold bodies. Some unique shapes there for sure.
