New Gear

Can a piece of new gear enable better song wrting? Well, no. At least that's what I always thought. Ultimately, the song comes from within. At least that's what I always thought. But wait...a high performance bicycle make you go faster, a new surf board can help you catch bigger waves, and a kick-ass set of speakers can help you hear things in a song you never had before. So, why wouldn't a new piece of gear help write a song?

Well, that's just the theory I'm testing this weekend. At my front door arrived the most indulgent piece of gear ever purchased by me - a Bad Ass, I mean Bad Cat Trem Cat amplifier. Ooooooh, she's shiny, and has lots of knobs and buttons, and tones that purr. Yes, I'm a geek. But we'll see how this thing turns out. I sold my revered Vox AC-30 for this privilege, so it better come out in my favor.

I'll post the results and let you know how it went. Happy, happy gear, gear.
