NAD ... finally, the one guitar, one amp dream!

guitarblaster

Hello! Just really wanting to show off that I've finally sorted out the one guitar and one amp dream I've had in my head for about 3 years haha. 
 
In practice it seems easy, but as everyone knows it's actually tough, selling off stuff that you like, and stuff that you don't play but you want to keep just in case! 

I picked this up from @JamesSGBrown today, lovely guy ... It's Princeton Reverb 68 custom! With an eminence ragin cajun! 

The amp sounds great, 10/10, better than I was hoping really - just what I needed, beautiful!  This new amp has been a long time coming! Bought nearly everything in the photo from our forums

It gets better ... girlfriend is away for the weekend with her mum (i hope) and there's some beers in the fridge to celebrate this accomplishment  it's a night of playing!

Are you saying you now only own one guitar and one amp??! If so I must learn your voodoo powers!

You've done well! I'm at the same point although i still have an amp for sale. 

Only having minimal gear has made me write and practice more, i've been refocused on what the guitar is really about.

A truly super combination IMHO. I too have the superb Princeton custom 68 and it is sublime. I have a ragin cajun is my home built 5E7 and it is great. I commend you on your excellent taste!

Well done. Beautiful amp - in looks and sound.

I was playing a 65 PRRI last night at band practice and I have to say it sounded glorious.

I really want a Princeton....

I tried a 65 RI recently and thought it gave pretty much my 'idealised' Fender tone. The fact that - setting aside those for vibrato and reverb - there are only three controls to fiddle with really appeals.

Neat set up.

I like your style, one guitar & amp so you can really focus on what's important... Buying and selling pedals

Just a pedalboard to get and your all done..oh and a guitar stand maybe.   Looks great though..I'm 'well Jel'

Very nice - I hope it lasts! Beautiful amps those custom 68s

Lodious

Nice setup...looks like a lot of fun to play. I'm still living the 7 guitars and 5 amps nightmare with plenty of GAS in the tank ;-(

Morning guys, that's for all of the kind comments! You're a lot better than my friends ... "what? you're not watching the match because you're going to Birmingham to buy at amp?" which a two headed stare was the level of admiration they gave me! 

Haha the 7 guitar, 5 amp nightmare - sounds like hell 

Hah yeah a pedal board is needed isn't it? Stop making me google pedal boards!!! I do have a guitar stand actually hah I just didn't think to get it out for my show off pic ... Hah I think all the things people say about nitro finishes on guitar stands have put me off them! I am that much of a loser. 

Yeah the amp does have simple controls, I'm a set and forget man so it's good for me. The reverb and vibrato sound great on this.

I love having 9 amps and guitars though....

I have two guitars, I am seriously considering selling one of them, just for neatness.

It's very liberating to de-clutter, I'm predominantly playing my Strandberg 8 string, whilst my others look on in a sulk and now I took the plunge with the Axe-Fx it means that most of my pedalboard is going too

My work here is done....very nice 

Edit...the OCD in me is liking the matching jewel light.....but I'd have the tuner 1st in the chain

Nice looking setup! It's great to declutter and simplify isn't it? I'm still clinging onto my cab in case I regret stepping down to a 1x12 combo though! 

You do need a pedalboard now though
