I've had my Ultra almost exactly 3 years, since the 5.x firmware. Gigged it last night, killer tone as usual. Today it's gone. Weird feeling!
When the Axe-II announcement first dropped, I knew I would want one.. Eventually. But I also couldnt imagine doing without my Ultra, even for a short time. I had no intention of selling. But just this week it occurred to me that I only have 3 more gigs before the band takes a 2 month break. Then there will be vacations, etc, so I don't really seriously need my Axe until Sept. I noticed resale value seems pretty decent right now and the numbers on EBay have come down a lot since that first week of selling frenzy.
So I took a deep breath and posted my Ultra for sale locally.. And what do you know, I had a local buyer interested right away.
I'm absolutely stoked for Axe-II now.. Especially since I have to call up my old tube combo and pedals for the next two weekends... What a step down!
