I've been waiting to get my hands on a camera so I've been saving these up.

Just before Christmas I won a Yamaha DX7 on Ebay.



Around the same time I got my hands on a Visual Sound Overdrive/Distortion



Just yesterday I finally decided on a guitar to replace my old Squier Bullet. A Mexican Strat.

Snagged it for $150 when they discontinued the line. It plays well and sounds good, I just wish it didn't neckdive so much.

I first saw the DX7 some ten years ago and fell in love with it. I've wanted one ever since.

I paid slightly less than $200 for it so it was a good price too. The guy was moving to another state and didn't want to cart it with him as he already had a newer Roland.

It came with a very beaten up case but no power cable. I've had to make my own and solder it onto the terminals on the transformer. Works great though.

I tried a similar (Ebay) tactic with a Korg M1 but people seem to snap those up quickly.

In my OP, I posted a photo of an electric 5-string similar to the one I had ordered from a fellow in Nashville, TN.

Yesterday, he sent me a couple of progress shots. Said it should be ready in a couple weeks.

There's a small horn in the box that pushes the guitar sound (overdriven) through the tube. The tube goes into your mouth, so all the sound reverberates in your cavernous maw. As you move your lips, tongue, and vocal chords (that's a tip!), the guitar sound is shaped like your voice would be in the microphone.

Sorry to see you have to sell those. That Firebird looks pretty sweet.

I'm glad, though, that you were able to sell them to help you get through tough times. Stuff, even instruments, is only stuff.

If selling it can help you through your life, then it's a good thing.

Synthesizers.com 22-space modular synthesizer, halfway complete (10 spaces left to go). So far here's the list:

2x Oscillator (Sine/Ramp/Saw/Pulse, togglable to LFO)
2x ADSR Envelope Generator
1x State Variable 12db Filter (HP/LP/BP/Notch)
1x Midi to CV Converter
1x VCA
1x 4 Channel Mixer
1x 12 port multiplier


Oh, and the little blue guy in the bottom pic is a Bleep Labs Thingamagoop (Monophonic Analogue Synthesizer, pitch controlled via optical sensor, amplitude and blinking LED light on the end of a stick controlled by an LFO). For the truly curious, the keyboard sitting on top is a Kawai K5000s Addative Synthesizer (most famous for generating about 80% of the Aeon Flux soundtrack).

No lie. I have only very occasional use for analog synths, but I almost pee myself every time I see one. The gearhog in me just can't resist something with so many buttons and dials and stuff.

they are stainless round wounds actually (although a stupidly low gauge 52-25) but the fingerboard it epoxy coated so it seems like it will withstand a gunshot :P

Is that a fretless, flame maple fingerboard? I don't think I've ever seen such a thing.

I really love the spalt top though. It's a lovely bass and if you ever find yourself needing to hide from predators in the forest you could just hide behind it!

about $200, without shipping. not too bad (i think my giga delay actually cost more from guitar center :suicide: ). its a bunch of different filters with weird settings and an LFO. ive actually been able to make some percussive beats using this thing alone. it's really cool but now i'm broke as poo poo :)

I bought this one yesterday, for the fabulous prize of $120. Not new, but it could as well have been (e: judging by the looks and general shape, I mean).
It's my first string instrument I'm learning (except some failed attempt at guitar, but I don't count that) It's funny!

I know, it's so nice, isn't it? I got mine from https://www.soundslive.co.uk for £480.

If you search "fender aerodyne telecaster" on google, some website with prices next to it come up. Reviews of it seem to suggest that it's a really, really nice guitar.

I'll let you know if it's contoured or not when I get it :)

I played a tele aerodyne at a local music store, and it was great. Light-weight and the fact that it was contoured made it very comphortable. You've got a great guitar.
