it's time i got back

to the good life.

so i ordered the guitar from guitar workshop and that should arrive in 6-9 weeks. next i'll need a nice amp head and cab to go with that. gonna check out some mesa boogies from northridge. probably won't buy anything until i get the guitar to try 'em out.

but before that arrives i'll get some basic recording gear: an 8-track firewire recording interface (presonus firepod), mic cables, mic stands, an SM57 to record the amp, and a cheap condenser mic or two to record vocals and acoustic guitar.

if i get that within a week or so, that'll give me at least a good month to work on songs with the acoustic before i'm all set with the electric. then i can get a band together (half indie rock, half punk rock, with a splash of reggae and a sprinkle of metalcore). also still need some furniture for the apartment.
