Want it, Except, Maybe?

I successfully exchanged the Boss BF3 Flanger for the TR2 Tremolo yesterday.  Unfortunately, while Drew got a pedal replete with box and manual, I only got a pedal. On the face of it, Drew got a steal of a deal. Truth be told, I'd had the flanger for much longer than I wanted to. There is a lesson somewhere in here, and it goes something like: "The list price of a piece of gear is not the only factor in determining it's value on the used market." With the in mind, I'm fairly satisfied with the trade... though a box would've been nice. Of greater concern now is incorporating the TR2 onto my board, becuase I've been very happy with the current setup, and worry that changing anything will throw the universe out of balance. Anyway... Peavey Bandit - Silver Stripe - $200 I can't ready the words "Peavey Bandit" without hearing the voice of Jay Cross of The Guitar Nerds in my head.  It's not just the voice that sticks like a bad ...

I certainly don't. After buying the Maz 8, I think it's safe to say I won't be buying anything in the near future - I've got a fix that'll last me awhile. Good news though - My wife has almost decided on the colour for our second daughter's room.  She's down to something very similar to Daphne Blue and something very similar to Sea Foam Green. My first daughter's room was Sonic Blue, and I have a Sonic Blue Stratocaster.  What kind of father would I be if I didn't do the same for my second born? Fender Jim Adkins Telecaster - $500 I had no idea who Jim Adkins was until 3 minutes ago, when I bothered Googling him.  Apparently he's the guitarist for Jimmy Eat World.  Who knew? (The answer is "all the cool kids" obviously). This is a pretty cool guitar, with some unique features, at a very reasonable price.  A semi-hollow, set neck single cut with Duncan P90s and a Les Paul wiring scheme?  The only thing Telecaster...
