I think we're near enough to the end of the year to start to reflect upon the Gasage that has taken place, and to confess your sins.
Me:
Guitars: only two bought, both fairly cheap, one of which I sold, one kept.
Amps: main amp which I bought at the end of last year is still very much around and have had no further gas pangs, I did sell a Fender Mustang Mini and bought a Yamaha THR5 in its place.
Also some cheapish monitors and a focusrite ipad recording thingamajig.
Pretty happy with that little lot...
But then pedals, oh dear pedals, it's not been a good year...
Fulltone plimsoul.
Jetter Gold Shift.
Tc Spark Booster.
Demeter Tremulator.
Barber Gain changer.
Fredric Golden Eagle Klone.
Joyo Sweet Honey.
Cmatmods Signa Drive.
TC Ditto.
Snark pedal tuner.
Cmatmods Brownie.
Xotic BB MB.
Rockett Blue Note.
Still have three of the above in my possession!
Main task for 2014, quit the pedal merry-go-round! (Pretty happy with my pedals at the moment but then that doesn't mean much).
Over to you.

Will be building two clone pedals over the Xmas break, a Klon and Rockbox boiling point.
My big, long, project for next year is to build a 63' brownface Vibroverb clone
Sold a PRS SE Custom 22 and a Blackstar HT5 with the extension cab. The last one hurt a bit!
Bought a Yamaha 120HH from here (still trying to get on with it) and built a Tele Deluxe style thing that still needs a bit of work. Great fun though!
In 2014 I will get myself a nice singlecut. Either another SE or some sort of LP and try building some pedals.

2014 GAS List
Have a big birthday coming in 2014 so want to get something a bit special. Looking at a mid range acoustic probably a Taylor or Martin.
WezV/Fusion Guitars/USACG/Callistocaster Esquire
Not so much a 'new' guitar more the culmination of a rolling project that took the hand of WezV to steer it back onto course & get it finished after a time in the wilderness
WezV/Fusion Steinberger 'Gulf Racing' Mini Vee.
Again, another project started at least 18 months/2 years ago that needed a man of vision to steer it back on the path to completion.. WezV again !
'Telstar' Partscaster
I bought most of the parts for this early in 2013, ran out of money, sold it to Casper early summer, he finished it by early autumn just as I got liquid again and I bought it back, but finished... Flipping lovely
Squier Tom Delonge.
Bought primarily as playmate for my Mark Hoppus bass but ultimately not needed and went to Jookyland for some much needed realignment therapy..
