For about 11 months, I had no guitar and no amp. To non-musicians, that might sound inconvenient. To me, it felt like having part of my nervous system removed.
The situation was born out of some unfortunate personal circumstances – due to a death in my then-partner’s family, I sold my Ibanez JPM Petrucci signature and a full amp rig for way less than they were worth to buy plane tickets. Then I found my other JPM had disappeared in my absence.
