I was always looking for a Monaco III but once I saw that amazing green one (that I believe CM owns) I knew I would never be happy with regular ol' one. I ended up going with a Kauer Super Chief with all the switching options and it is a great guitar with many tones.
If you haven't played one and want another opinion......I have this model head & cab and it is easily the best sounding '60's-80's tone machine I have ever played. All three selectable voicings capture the distinct sound of their intended targets and can do so at bedroom, or room clearing levels with a click of the attenuators. Both clean and fuzzy tones sound amazing. I have a dozen amps and this makes more than half of them unnecessary, wish it came out sooner.
Wow, so saddened to hear this. Saw him several times with Mastodon and got to meet him at a small show for his side project "Fiend Without a Face" (surf-rockabilly, check it out). Awesome player and seemed like a fun guy the night I met him.
RIP
Looks like lots of good stuff traded hands in 2013!
If I had come across a Rawhide Supreme and/or a Fakimba V I would have had one or two more in 2013!
Bloozguy and Shark if those ever become sale or trade fodder let me know (and Shark I think we are CFL neighbors so it would be an easy swap )
Huber huh?
I don't think I can afford getting hooked on another must have boutique guitar company. Let me know if they go out of business, I only seem to discover special guitars after the lights have been turned off
Good thing I live a long way from BCRGreg's shop, from the pics he has posted here and on the RL forum I think he has started many addictions and I'm a sucker for a pretty neck joint.
Much more fun to talk about what people got than didn't get
I went a bit crazy...but I was overdue!
