What's on your 2022 gear wish list

[LiveeviL2000]

It's a new year, and with the calendar reset we all look forward to the year ahead. Being players of instruments you probably already have a quarterly gear budget plan on your spreadsheet organized by priority with price comparisons along with pros and cons for each piece of gear.
... or am I the only freak who does that?

So what's on your 2022 gear wish list? Share with the class!

Since I started the post, I'll go first.
in no particular order

I want to get completely Well-Hung this year. @TVvoodoo we will need to talk soon!
A couple pedals to add or replace the ones I'm not that thrilled with. Flanger, Chorus, EQ.
The Jackson Pro Series King V KVT which, thanks to GC, I'm still hunting for.
and low on the gear list to transform my computer room into a mini recording studio.

Nothing really.

I sometimes contemplate getting a Digitech Whammy but then I remember that it is a stupid idea and I won't really use it.

I'd like to sell some pedals that I don't use.

 

[TCE63]

I have all I like to have at the moment.

But I will sell a few amps that I don´t use any more.

 

[iblive]

My list is short.

Finish my Tele project
Replace my delay pedal that apparently didn’t want to live anymore.

I managed to do some crazy upgrades to my gear in 2020/21, so now it's time to upgrade my playing. So, my GAS list is short:

- Lessons

 

[GregM]

the most important gear upgrade of all! Good for you man, I'm just starting to work on lead playing. Not that I want to shred, I just want to learn that part of playing.

You will post pics when you get them right? We all love to oooh and ahhhh over new gear.

 

[Session 5]

Can't see anything too much happening this year, nothing I need.

I'm considering that too, for the exact same reasons. Shredding bores me to death, but would be nice to do some leads over the songs I write.

Only plan i have at the moment is sending my amp off up north to be repaired next month, along with a buddy whos got one needing fixed as well. Once i get i back, ive debated putting a Hot Mod V2 in it but we'll see

 

[SIx String Chef]

Oh, the possibilities! I think my GAS would be focused primarily on enriching the shop's tool and stock wealth: proper fretting and setup tools, files, a router, a drill press, soldering iron tips, electronic components, maybe a template or five, and if I can find someone willing within decent public transit distance, maybe try to talk my way into bartering an informal but well-informed "work-for-knowledge" luthier "apprenticeship". OH, and a strobe tuner!

Sounds like an obvious excuse to buy another amp. Let the GAS flow through you... #ObiWan #GearEnabler

 

[Don O]

I’ll know when I see it or play it

 

[Cadorman]

The Les Paul Modern I paid for last April.

 

[Inspector #20]

Nothing....just play more live shows.

 

[Kerry Brown]

I'm going to give a strat another try. I love the sound but I don't get along with playing them. My plan is to find a cheap Squier that feels good and mod it like crazy. Maybe if I make it mine it will stick around.

Can you tell me what you find lacking in your Stratocaster experiences???

They just don't feel right. The controls are in the wrong place. I keep hitting the middle pickup and the volume control. I could live with that but for some reason I don't feel comfortable playing a strat. When I'm playing the tone always feels too bright no matter what I do. When I listen back to what I played it sounds fine. The best strat I've owned was a MIJ Squier that I put some cheap GFS pickups in. I never should have let that one go. I plan to see if I can duplicate it.
