I suspect this is a common mid life crisis thing but it's really bitten again.... Plus there is so much good (great by late 70's/80's standards) gear around.. I fell for an Ibanez SR765 2003 MIJ and looking to start gigging again found a nice Ashdown EB300/15 with Kappa loaded MAJ 15" extension cab for £185.. It's clear the Kappa is a much nicer speaker than the Ashdown one :-) or it's in a better cab.. or both..
Now where do I look for a band these days? I suspect Melody Maker/NME are somewhat passe now :-)
cheers
