Do you have another room full of amps that you can show us?

Not really. I have a few things, but nothing too special because I live in a wood frame appartment building, so having 100W Diezels / Soldanos / Marshas etc isn't much of an option unfortunately...

Awesome! Can you put up some more pics of the Rising Sun Dinky?

[Johnnyryche]

Awesome pics, Ian! If I didn't know any better I would say that you are tempting me again with the RS soloist. Good to see that you have it out hanging with the gang.

Nice Ian.. Get the rest up!!! Theres tons im wanting to see again..

[j2379]

[holycross1]

I love it. I hate that they are not mine. But I love those walls. AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm okay...whew......Ohmy god here it comes again.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

You must have a midas touch for guitar reproduction. I blinked and I swear the guitars multiplied on the walls.

Great collection, and congrats on the wife allowing that.

Oh it's a soloist. Uber cool, thank you for the pics

Ian,

The Rising Sun is awesome. I'd be playing the entire Loudness catalog with that one.

[Charlz]

Awesome... Awesome... Awesome...

[Devotee]

You have more guitars than i have guitar picks.
Awesome collection. Is that a trans black XTRR in the far left of the first photo?

There are 3 soloists and 1 neck-thru strat.

Thanks man. And yeah, that's one of Danny Spitz' guitars - the one from 'Live Noize' and the Married with Children episode...

[Sephiroth]

If you ever get tired of it you should consider selling/trading the ninja turtles RR to Dan Spitz. A few years ago before he re-joined (then was kicked out again) Anthrax he had his own site I had posted a pic of the limited edition Japanese one and he was bugging me to try to help him find one for sale to replace the ones he lost in the fire.

I've been in contact with Dan and he's never mentioned wanting to buy any of his old guitars or replicas. The fire thing is a little bit of an urban myth, because there are pics of Danny with all his guitars, including ones that I've seen work orders for which were built after the fire i.e. they can't have been destroyed. He even says on the reunion documentary that he thinks the TMNT guitar is in a HRC somewhere, and one would expect he'd remember if his main stage guitar for 4 years was destroyed in a fire.

Really? That's strange. I guess I should have capped those posts from eyars ago but didn't think of it. It was on his own site where he was really pushing watches for sale, I posted a Japanese link and he asked me if I knew how to contact the guy about it for which I said no.


And they did lose gear in the fire and even said so themselves in the old POV video, even though for the fairness of reasonable doubt they didn't exactly itemize every last thing they lost.

And one little nit-picker thing is ones built AFTER the fire shouldn't be destroyed in the fire.

[neilli]

Absolutely, they lost gear in the fire. But I don't think Spitz lost any of his guitars, and here's why. In the pic below, you can see all his graphic guitars, along with some of his PoT era 'wood' guitars. Jani had a copy of the work order for the transblack flame guitar between his feet, and it was dated after the fire. So therefore, this pic was taken after the fire otherwise that guitar wouldn't exist. And there don't appear to be any of his graphic guitars missing which is why I don't think he lost any in the fire.

[GuerillaPete]

Yeah, from what I can recall, it was Scott and Frank who lost instruments in the fire. I remember Scott trying to sell me some gear a few years after the fire incident. Partial burnt/scortched road cases, etc. etc.
