Vibrolux vs Carmen ghia (Oh Damn)

I have got a disease that I find fault in any gear... My ghia is a great amp, but I am feeling like I want a more open less compressed sound :/ stupid I know. So I got offered a blackface Vibrolux for my Ghia (Fulltone Catalyst also included in the trade for my ghia) I hate the idea of parting with my new amp that I love but at the sametime feel the Vibrolux could be more my thing ☹

What I'm saying dude, is that you don't spend long enough with any piece of gear to fully experience it. It's like if Lou Reid's glam phase had lasted for two weeks - he would have achieved absolutely nothing.

I totally support you growing and finding new stuff. But seriously. Stick with something for more than two months before running after the next thing. Get a chance to actually do something with it before you discard it. It comes off (to me) not like innovation, but like compulsion.

+1. A common problem. You have to spend time with any piece of gear to learn how to get the best out of it.

I'm currently playing with a guy that plays an EPI LP into a solid state Fender amp. First time we played together I plugged him into my Twin and gave him a Barber LTD for dirt. He wasn't happy, because it wasn't "his" sound. At the end of the day he plays better when he's happy, and the solidstate amp makes him happy.

Oh I completly agree with you guys....
I have a major compulsion, addiction, problem with gear and always wanting more.... If I was to tell you how many guitars I have had in the last 3 years you would have grounds to arrest me....
I have made some stupid decisions but none of which I regret as now I am here wit hsome sweet stuff...

I will eventually get more or move on probably at a faster pace than most would like, and probably put myself back a few steps....

as mentioned I said no to the trade.....
