Now that Lizardfish is again in a lull between gigs I can once more turn my attention to feeding my Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I’ve been researching five items. The first three on the list are necessary replacements for gear that has either been malfunctioning or underperforming. the last two are more of a would-be-nice list rather than must haves. They are replacements for current gear that is actually working just fine.
Gibson Dirty Finger Bridge Pickup — 139.99
Gibson toggle switch — 24.99

I could add a few other items, but I’ll stick with this for now. My Gibson ES-335 Pro has Dirty Finger pickups and they are insane. My Gibson Les Paul has Classic ‘57’s and they are kinda wimpy. I want to put a Dirty Finger into the Les Paul to angry it up a bit. Also, the pickup selector switch on the Les Paul hasn’t worked since the day I bought it. It’s time to fix that. Finally, my Cry Baby that lives on the band pedal board died. I’m using it as an excuse to upgrade rather than just get it fixed.
The two pedals are Big Muff clones and I just want ‘em.
Happy G.A.S. Shopping, everyone!
