So after getting back into playing guitar and bass after a few years hiatus, I realized I don’t have any of my same jam connections as I used to. How do you go about finding people to jam with these days?

Purple is my favorite color, and Iron Maiden is my favorite rock/metal band. As such, resistance was futile! Temu find: Factory Custom Purple Alexi Laiho Swallow Tail V Electric Guitar (photo 1) Another Temu find: Unbranded Rockingbird Electric Guitar (photo 2) But the coup de grace, ultimate find, was on Facebook Marketplace: Iron Maiden Killers Eddie electric guitar, ash body—hand-painted, sealed 15 times over—a fragging amazing guitar body! [UPDATE] I'm pretty much done buying guitars. There aren't any out there that I want at the moment. Even with the ones I plan to sell after giving them a comprehensive setup, I have more than enough, plus, I'm just about out of room to display them. Exceptions: 1) I finally found a 7-string Iceman kit at guitarkit.com. I've been looking for one of these for quite a while; 2) I'm currently winning an Enya Inspire 39" Smart Electric Guitar on MAC.BID, though I don't expect to win. While it's $500, my max bid is $140, and I won't bid more; 3) I backed the LightJam Kickstarter several months ago. I should be getting it soon, though the last time I checked, a few weeks ago, it showed it was in the packaging stage. 4) It's not a guitar, but I am currently winning a Vangoa Mandolin Musical Instrument A Style Acoustic Electric with a max bid of $51. The current bid is $50. With about 5 hours left until the auction closes, I don't expect to win. Since these mandolins retail on Amazon for $140, which is very affordable, I'm not going to bid more on this auction. If I buy any more, I think my wife will disown me. [UPDATE 2] I won the mandolin auction with a final bid of $52. Couldn't resist not bumping up my maximum bid a little. Didn't see any cosmetic problems with it. Came with a decent soft-shell case. Haven't played it yet. Plan to tune it up and give it a whirl later today.

I’m very proud of myself and thank you all for getting me here… 6,000 more points to reach Level 8🥳

I found something that absolutely needs to be in my studio: a stand-alone tube driven spring reverb unit! Can be integrated into a guitar or ran as outboard analog gear for your DAW. Hope your electronics assembly skills are up to par! It’s a build it yourself kit, but comes with everything you need; also makes the price significantly cheaper! https://www.modelectronics.com/product/wave
