Rest In Pieces


Unfortuantely, shit happens - all equipment must come to an end.

Making a list of all the gear we use is a bit nerdy....so instead we present the definitive list of all equipment Asparagus Now have used and seen through to the afterlife in true rock and roll style.
Most of it served well, and was lost in service of the 'greater good' (ie. in creating top-notch music for future generations to enjoy). There's also some links on the right, for fellow guitar geeks to check out the rigs of Mssrs. Riley and May if they so wish.

We suspect this page'll end up being a general free-for-all; a place to stick quotes, anecdotes and (as displayed above), pointless pictures of musical equipment meeting its maker. If you've got anything you think we'd like, be sure to send it to us, and it'll probably wind up here...


By the way, if you've got a piece of gear that might just pull through you won't do better than Asparagus Now's amp tech, Mr. Alan Stratton. He brought Kyle's Mesa/Boogie back from beyond the clammy jaws of doom, and restored it to full working order in under 24 hours. If he can't fix it, you might as well give up - but if so, at least let us know so we can stick it on the honorary list...
