So has anyone stumbled upon a new gtr or gear oriented site that just kicks butt recently?

Buzz,

Try www.guitarnotes.com

It's got a large discussion forum, much the same as here (although GT will always be my home)

Loads of links about guitars, amps, concerts etc,etc... check it out.

Take it eazy

If your on the forums topic, guitar.com has a great forum alot like this one with bass stuff too, real nice.

I wasn't necessarily talking about forums but gear. I wasn't promoting anyone go to other forums by any means.
