Jason's Electric Guitar Equipment For Sale

So, with a baby on the way in April (you do know that, right?), Cary and I have come to the conclusion that I am unlikely to be using my electric guitar and related equipment in the near future. Not like I've used it that much in the past 3-4 years, anyways...

I am now looking to sell my gear, as detailed in the following pictures. I'm hoping to sell it to someone who lives in Raleigh, so I'll be sending info to the musicians I know at church, etc. first before broadcasting more widely via eBay or elsewhere. Please feel free to contact me if you're interested in making an offer or trying out any of the gear. All of it has been well maintained and was never "on tour" or anything like that, so it hasn't suffered a lot of wear and tear. Without further ado, here is what I have, along with my approximate asking price (based on comparable sales) but as I said, I'm willing to entertain offers:

1998 Fender Stratocaster, electric blue (made in mexico); classic strat, enough said: $350

Marshall Valvestate 102R Amplifier with 2 channel footswitch, 100 Watts, 2 x 12" gold-back Celestion speakers; this is an excellent small venue amp that works well with acoustic guitars as well, and easily has enough power to drive over drums and bass: $425

Here is the crown jewel of the collection, a vintage Electro-harmonix Memory Man Deluxe. This is the best analog delay pedal ever made (much warmer and no digital fizzing after a few echoes), and it also features vibrato and chorus effects as well: $225

Boss BF-2 Flanger: $30

Boss AC-2 Acoustic Simulator (very unique effect, gives a lot of live flexibility): $25

Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer: $35

And finally, more of the vintage Electro-harmonix pedals with Russian versions of the Big Muff and Small Stone. The Big Muff is an analog distortion pedal that can get as heavy as you want, or provide sweet violin-like sustain if preferable. The Small Stone is the original phaser (think of the sound in the 90's Live song "Lightning Crashes") and is another great analog pedal. Big Muff: $40, Small Stone: $40

Please feel free to email me or call me if you're interested. Thanks!

More pictures, please!

I've been HORRIBLE about updating this blog, but don't worry, I haven't stopped taking pictures. If anything, I've been taking a lot more recently since I got a digital SLR camera back in December. Thanks to a dear friend, I now have a Flickr account and am putting most of my pictures online at this website: www.flickr.com/photos/carybrege (just click on any of the "Sets" on the right-hand side to see pictures from specific trips).

I wanted to give you a small sampling of some of our recent trips and experiences, so please be sure to check out the pictures below. And then pop over to Flickr to see more! Hopefully I'll be updating both sites more regularly. I'd love your comments on any of the pictures--I'm really trying to improve and share the beautiful and interesting things I see in a creative way.

Jason spotted this sign as we were driving to Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. Totally picture-worthy!

It's always exciting to get up on water skis. The trouble is figuring out what to do once you get up! Note that these skis are made of WOOD and are pretty vintage--yet they still do the trick.

This is a picture of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Jason and I went on a 9 day trip to Israel with his family and their church in Marietta, Georgia.

This is a picture of a Bedouin man who was kind enough to let me take his picture along the Old Jericho Road.

A guy juggling at sunset in front of the Mediterranean Sea. Where else does stuff like this just happen and I also have my camera? What in the world?!?

Well, if you're intrigued, pop over to my Flickr site: www.flickr.com/photos/carybrege and let me know what you think about my other pictures (click on "Set" on the right hand side of the page). I hope you enjoy and that this photography will encourage and refresh your soul.

Gobble gobble!

Go Army, Beat Navy! (next year.....)

Jason and I headed up to Annapolis to watch Jonathan play in the Army-Navy soccer game. This is Jonathan's senior year (he's called a "firstie" in West Point lingo) and we're trying to make it to as many games as possible. We met up with some friends of the Breges in Annapolis and spent some time hanging out by the water before the game. This picture (L-R: Jason, Cary, Jim) was taken before the torrential downpour began in earnest....
Unfortunately, Army ended up losing to Navy, 0-1. I won't go into details but it was three hours of rain and then Navy scored on a penalty kick in overtime. It was a heart breaker, but a good, solid game of soccer. Per tradition, both teams ate together and hung out afterwards. Here are Jonathan and Jason in Navy's soccer complex.
