I love Goodwill

Welp, off to Guitar Center to pick up a power supply for it.

If I find a cabinet at a Goodwill I can have a entirely thrift store rig.

God drat, man. I have pod farm and everything but I'm still super jealous.

It kind of looks like a toy so I guess I can see what they were thinking.

You have to be making GBS threads me, do they not do anything to check on the worth of stuff?

Hopefully it's in perfect working condition, I can't think of many reasons that someone would choose to Goodwill their PodXT instead of ebay it...

A Goodwill just opened here. I had no idea they had poo poo like that in there! I'm going to check that place out tomorrow.

The stuff is there sometimes, you just have to stop in like once a week and check things out.
There are 4 Goodwills, a Salvation Army, and another independent thrift store around here. I'll usually hit them all up on a day off just to see what they have sometimes you get lucky.
If the Goodwill near you has silent auctions that is where they usually put the instruments, then you have to write a bid in a book and wait for it to end.
I picked up an aluminum necked Kramer bass from one of the auctions for right around $100.

The power supply is going to cost more than what you paid for that.

Good luck getting the rosewood body if you plan on making this.

The wood for the body is pretty easy to find, it's actually finding a pre-built rosewood neck that isn't way too expensive that is hard to find.

Finally... found a good deal on an RG550 - black w/maple neck.

One day, I'll actually post up pictures of my latest finds, maybe even some reviews. For now, just text. I'm still waiting on three pedals to come in.

Yeah I've heard they pop up occasionally on other custom guitar parts stores for under $200 but assuming I can't find one / wait that long I'll just have to resign to buying a similar type of wood

Not really the best actuary in the world.
Not a new guitar, but I just put a Bigsby on it and I'm stoked.

Probably worth it for the Kontakt upgrades alone. Around 20GB more samples for £123.

Yeah, here's NI's changelog:

quote:

* All new Control Room Cabinet Module
* 2 new amps (Hotplex and Jump) Modeled after legendary Marshall
* 4 new effect modules (Graindelay. Octaverb. Iceverb. Twindelay
* 200 brand new. high-quality presets for all genres
* New and improved GUI

You can't get it separately out of Komplete without buying the Kontrol package at first though, which seems a little stupid.

Any idea when it's actually going to be available? And why haven't they been crowing about it, this should be big news and this is the first place I heard about it.

I imagine a whole bunch of electronic musicians :f5:ing furiously right now because their webserver is still down :(.

The Scarbee partnership sounds good though, if it's going to be as cheap as that electric bass I'm going to be all over it. Elektrik piano's kind of meh compared to that.

They haven't announced it yet. Digital Village stuck it up on their website to pre-order early (http://www.dv247.com/computer-music-software/native-instruments-komplete-6--67107). I assume NI will give a release date when it's announced.

I had the end pin all the way out because I had a tripod that didn't want to get bigger, so it was the only way I could fit it all in the shot.

Try that. Says October 1st on the banner. Looks like a new "above all... revolutionary" cabinet sim module, three new amps (Marshall, Marshall, Marshall! They already have pretty good Marshalls, I'm surprised it's not something more esoteric this time), four new effects... Well, I honestly expected more NEW, but hopefully they've upped their game all around with this release, I'm hoping for improvements to the existing amplifiers. They mostly all can sound really good with some tweaking to the + options, but given the state of the industry they could use an update I think.

Truthfully the new cabinet sim, if it is really good, was the most needed thing. Their cabinet emulation has been behind their peers, excepting the cabinets available with GR3. I hope that it brings the cabinets up to the level of quality of their effects and amps.

Oh, and it's true stereo now, too, that's cool.

I'll contact them to see about getting it in for review... I've been a Guitar Rig 3 customer for more than a year, before I even started my blog and writing for Frugal, and I've heard Native is quite easy to work with in the press. Hopefully I can get it in and see what's cooking!
