And here comes all the Christmas entries! I bought this for myself a while ago, but my mum intercepted the delivery and gave it to me today, haha. H&S Sequoia II Stock Image:  This was insanely cheap, looks totally awesome and has a tone better than anything I could've ever hoped for at that kind of price. Edit: Removed my rubbish photography.

I am completely undeserving of this guitar, but my family has an (awesome) friend with Gibson who helped get me this:  ...Which fell over literally seconds before they gave it to me, partially breaking the neck. I'm going to talk to him later, and hopefully we'll have some repair options figured out soon. We took the strings off immediately.   Anyone had any experience with this?  My poor baby.

Holy poo poo, if i did something like that i'd find the nearest bridge and jump off. That's some lovely luck man. Can something like that be fixed easily?

Christmas is so, so very wonderful.    My creamy white HSS Stratocaster, a wonderful step up from the junky Squire I've been stuck with for two years. Thing sounds really awesome for a mid-level guitar. The amp you see is a 30w VOX Valvetronix amp. Good price, and the thing is loud as hell. As for upcoming purchases, I've set my sights on that Epiphone Korina Flying V, which looks like this:  All in all, pretty awesome Christmas. I've been playing for a little under four years now, but I'm kinda poor so buying expensive instruments isn't something that happens often. Last year I did get a nice Ovation acoustic, though.

Thats exactly the same spot mine broke on. I took it to the best luthier in the city, and he said its very common on these models due to the thinness of the neck. Take it to a good luthier and he will make it stronger than it was before. Sucks for resale/looks though

god i love christmas tascam fw1884, it's a solid mixer and a fantastic control surface. this is my first mixer with motorized faders and i love them and i will never go back. my only complaint is that theres some signal noise, but from what im reading online you can replace the opamps pretty easily and get a much cleaner signal now i just desperately need a set of monitors to replace my busted behringer truths and i'm golden. im currently using 6.99 computer speakers cos i got nothin else and it hell of sucks.

But they sound really nice, and for the foreseeable future I've got a warranty on the thing (3 years). kahm posted:I'd like to know what the tubes do! It's got a tube gain knob on it that lets you run the audio through the tubes to warm it up. It's a really nice touch, since the voices on it sound pretty digital. Plus it looks so pretty in the dark. EDIT: You can run external audio sources through them too, along with all of the other effects and whatnot. nah thanks fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Dec 26, 2007 |

Picked this up for free not too long ago. I LOVE it. It's a Baldwin Encore in case anybody was wondering.  and I just got this little guy today for 5 dollars at a thrift store. It's a Magnus Electric chord organ, it sorta sounds like an accordion.  I think I'm in the market for a synth, I'm considering a microkorg or saving a little more for a roland sh-201.

Man, those are pretty nice scores, especially for what you (didn't) pay for them. As for your synth considerations, if you can get a good deal on a used microKorg, I'd recommend it. If you must go new, then it's 50-50. Play with both at a GC if you have one nearby. Or really save up your money and get both.

They use the same synth engine, but the MS2000 gives you a lot more flexibility when it comes to editing patches. More knobs is more fun in my opinion. I love my MS and I don't see myself ever getting rid of it.

How does it compare to the roland sh-201?? Do you have any samples of it? The ms is cheaper but still looks really good, and I dont mind that it's a little older or anything. ReverendHammer: I've played with both at guitar center actually, the microkorg is really fun and same with the roland but I figured I'd save a little more and get what seems like a lot more.. oh and if anybody wants organs check on craigslist sometime in the free section, or go on yahoo groops called freecycle, that's where I got mine. Thrift stores are also pretty decent, and oftentimes they just want to get rid of them really quickly since they take up so much room. Organs are like the forgotton awesome instrument that everybody wants to get rid of but I want to keep haha. oh and I REALLY want a Minimoog Voyager but that's not happening anytime soon

Steel --- Plastic Vocoder + filter/whatever --- Only a filter DWGS (digital waveforms) --- Supersaw (nice for trance) 4 voices --- 8 voices 44 keys -- 49 keys Cool vintage looks --- Still pretty cool, just not vintage 2 timbres --- 1 timbre w/ layer or split (basically if it says "16 part multitimbral" on a synthesizer, you have 16 different synthesizers in a single box - but they have to share the effects and the voices. So, a 64-voice synth with 16 parts means 4 voices per part (or 1 part with 8 voices and some with only 2, etc.) So, the 201 can stack sounds or you can play bass left and lead right, but you can't play the same notes for bass and lead completely separately Samples: http://www.synthmania.com/ms2000.htm http://www.synthmania.com/jp-8000.htm (The 201 is based on this, but the 8000 sounds a bit more hi-fi) quote:oh and if anybody wants organs Kidneys, lungs, so fresh the blood's still dripp- oh wait  .Today I picked up this, for the minor cost of hauling it back for 50 miles (the alternative would've been that it would've gone to the dump, what a waste) :  How the gently caress it can sound: http://perkristian.net/Eminent_310_Unique_Audio.htm It needs some TLC, cleaning, new sliders and maybe a good look at the soldering, but it works right out of the box and looks and sounds awesome. It's the thing Jarre made Oxygene and Equinoxe with. It's basically 2 ARP Solina String Ensembles in one, and just one String Ensemble sets you back 200-300 euros here; the Eminent 310 Unique is just not so wanted because of its bulk, but it's actually better than a regular String Ensemble (and stereo, too). quote:oh and I REALLY want a Minimoog Voyager but that's not happening anytime soon Laserjet 4P fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Dec 27, 2007 |

I do have a shitload of other synths, though; it's just that the LP is sold for chump change sometimes if you convert from dollar to euro. Do it! Its everything you ever wanted and more! As far as Christmas goes, I got a bunch of money in guitar center gift cards and I have no idea what to do with them. I want a telecaster but I think I'll just wait until some crazy GC deal comes along on a good american tele.

Virtual analog goodness. It'll be nice to have some physical knobs to tweak again. VSTs are nice and all, but mouse clicks and drags aren't quite as inspiring.

 It's a Bill Lawrence L-500 XL. It is the original product in which the Seymour Duncan's Dimebucker is a synthetic mockery. It costs about half the price and I would pretty much recommend it to anyone looking at the Dimebucker at this point. I don't really give a gently caress about Pantera or Darrel but I really loving like the way this thing squeals so I pretty much bought it. I have it in the bridge position on my Jackson Performer. It sounds like tits and the highs are ridiculous.

  I got this a few months back but only got around to taking decent pictures of it recently. It took 16 weeks between the deposit and delivery because the slow boat from Japan is really, you know, slow. I switched in a 85 in the bridge, and it has a 60 in the neck; sound great, plays great and I love how it looks.

Hello new tonal direction!  Now I can send the G9.2tt to the shop (two switches going out, a problem they've fixed past serial number 8000, and which is covered by an extended 3-year warranty since they've acknowledged the problem with earlier units) and still be able to record. Also, anyone want to buy an M-Audio Audio Buddy? Not that you should, it's a completely worthless piece of poo poo, but if someone needs a paperweight or something to shoot at let me know. If anyone is looking for pedals, I might be selling my whole pedalboard to go Damage Control pretty soon. I've checked out the specs for the Glass Nexus and it's amazing. The DSP chip in it is really technologically advanced, and the way it is implemented is cool as hell. I think it could replace my delay, reverb, and modulations. I might be selling a Wasabi Overdrive, Guv'Nor 2+, Zoom Tri-Metal (though I've promised a HC forum member first whack at it), and a EHX Metal Muff in distortions... and a Dan-Echo and G9.2tt in effects. But I might not, who knows. It's hard for me to get rid of pedals I love (though I don't seem to have any problem getting past pedals I hate), and every one of those was found after a lot of searching for the sound it gives. Edit: Fixed. Nothing to see here, folks... Agreed fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Jan 1, 2008 |
