I sold the Marshall JCM800 today. It's kind of tough to see it go. I'm taking consolation in the fact that it's probably going to be used a whole heck of a lot more than I used it in the past couple of years. And, it's probably going to finally be re-tolexed like it should have been a couple of years ago. Also, it's going to a quality player that's on a totally different level than what I consider myself on. He's going to use the amp like it should be used; with the guitar just plugged straight into the amp, and cranked. I don't know the guy, but in the hour I heard him play, he really had an intimate relationship with his guitars, which is really rare these days. I know I don't have that sort of relationship with my guitars. Let's put it this way, when he picks up one of his guitars, he probably sees a whole lot more than a piece of wood and some strings. He probably sees it as years and years of experience with this one piece of hardware, that's not really like hardware to him anymore, if it ever was.

I used craigslist to sell it, which I've never used before this. It seems like a pretty good setup. No listing fees, and only dealing locally. I listed my JCM800 and my PSP, and got emails within hours about them. Kind of like an instant garage sale. I'm selling both of them because I don't really use them, and know that others would probably get a lot more use out of them than I would. The PSP is sweet, but I think I'm forming the opinion that I don't like portable gaming. It hurts my neck. No, I prefer my gaming to be tethered to a TV somehow. I used the PSP more as a web browser than anything else. It was pretty clunky, seeing as how it has no keyboard. If there was a PSP keyboard even on the horizon, I might consider holding onto it, but I don't think that's ever going to happen.
