2005 Crawldaddy (very early) Birthday Wishlist

Hmm.

Ok, since Alvin's having his birthday on saturday, and he had prepared a birthday wish for all to see, I've decided to come up with an exceptionally early birthday list, just to get all of the ideas out of my head, and laid out at my feet to view.

Ok.. here we go... Costliest first (hehehe)

*Guitars (or probably items I can only own when I become a billionaire, unless some kind-hearted soul gives it to me):

1. '59 Gibson Les Paul Standard (preferably the vintage reissue, but if you do manage to procure the real deal... it would be focking fantastic) Price Tag: >$40,000 (genuine), >$6,000 (reissue)
2. Gibson Les Paul Standard Jimmy Page (one of the 2,200 models in production since 1998 and very rare, and distinguished by His Darkedness' signature on the pickguard) Price Tag: >$20,000
3. Gibson SG Standard '68 reissue (the reissue of the famous guitar hanging around Angus Young's and Pete Townhend's shoulders in the 70's) Price Tag: Approx. $4,500
4. Gibson ES1275 Doubleneck (the guitar commonly associated with Jimmy Page as well.. but it's a doubleneck!) Price Tag: Approx. $7,000
5. Epiphone Les Paul Standard Cherry Burst (probably comes cheaper than the Gibson models) Price Tag: <$600 6. Epiphone SG Standard Model. Price Tag: <$500

*Guitar Effects (or something which I can fiddle with until the end of time and still remain content and happy):

1. Boss Digital Delay DD2. Price Tag: >$200
2. Electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi. Price Tag: >$250
3. Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz-wah. Price Tag: >$400
4. Theremin (for those who don't know what this is.. be thankful.. it isn't cheap or easily availible). Price: unknown
5. Guitar EQ pedal (any brand can do). Price Tag: >$200
6. Mackie 8-track mixer. Price Tag: >$400
7. Boss Chorus (god knows what model number). Price Tag: >$200

*Guitar Amplifiers (or noise-making boxes designed to blow your's and you neighbour's roofs off):

1. Marshall JCM 800 all tube
2. Marshall AVT 200
3. Marshall MD 50 CDR
4. Vox AC30 vintage model
5. Marshall MD 15 CDR (this is my current amp, but another of the same amp WILL blow the roof off.. yeah!)

*Books (or paper items which cost more than is neccessary):

1. The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkein (paperback issue) Price Tag: <$20
2. The Led Zeppelin Songbook Vol. 1 &2. Price Tag: >$40 (per book)

2. AC/DC: "Let There Be Rock", "Highway To Hell", "Stiff Upper Lip" (please also choose re-mastered editions in 'openable' two-sided paper covers)

4. Rolling Stones: "Sticky Fingers"
5. The Beatles: "Let It Be", "Rubber Soul", "Revolver", "Meet The Beatles", "The White Album". All of these CDs are in un-remastered format.. so be patient and wait till they are all remastered.
6. Vertical Horizon: "Everything You Want"
7. Creed: "Human Clay"
8. Van Halen: '1984"

Note: All CDs above cost approximately between $18 and $45.

2. Star Wars Episode I (and Episode III when it comes out)
3. The Waterboy
4. Happy Gilmour
5. Cast Away
6. Forrest Gump

9. Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains The Same (live and movie footage)

Note: The Above DVDs will cost approximately between $25 and $40.

*Miscellaneous (anything which pops into my mind now):

1. Violin bow rosin
2. A Harmonica in the key of A, C and E
3. four condenser microphones (preferably Sony, AKG or Sennheiser)
4. new sandals
5. a new bicycle
6. a new pair of spectacles (preferably with clip-on shades)
7. a Swatch Skin watch


And that's about it.. I'm not a demanding person, and if you wish to procure any of these items above you'd be absolutely crazy I won't stop you because I know I'm worth it. Muahaha.


Cheers,

Crawldaddy
