Great necks, great sound, and super comfortable to play. I would be super jealous if I didn't already have one of my own.

I got this a few months back, hand made by a local luthier. His standard body shape, my specs on the wood/pickups/hardware/inlay/etc. Not to everyone's taste but I love it

24 frets by my count (though a quick google search suggests there are some Kramers and Washburns with 23 frets). Beautiful guitar there snare, I'm on the fence about the purple skunk stripe but everything else is gorgeous.

Yeah it's definitely 24 frets haha.. and I didn't ask for the purple heart stripe but I really like it. It looks great IRL, a bit darker than in that pic. Edit: This is the luthier BTW - http://crossleyguitars.com/ Total legend.

Guitar kind of gives me a woody. I love the neck. Plywood, but the best kind! It looks really, really easy to play. How does it sound? Edit: Hey, really good prices too. $3K Ausbucks, what's the exchange? He ship internationally? More importantly does he seem in good health because it's gonna be a long time before I could even think about laying down a huge chunk of cash on a guitar, but, you know...

It is really, really easy to play! That's what suckered me in. I was on tour down here a couple of years back and went round to check out his workshop, played a bunch of his gats and immediately fell in love with the necks on these guitars. It sounds glorious. Very bright and "wide open" kinda sound. The pickups are hand-wound by a guy in Adelaide by the name of Mick Brierley - tell him the pups you like and he'll replicate the sound. I'm sure Pete would ship internationally, but I'm not sure what it would cost. He is definitely in good health, he's an old rocker but he'll still be kicking for a while I reckon.

Agreed posted:
Currently, the exchange rate is around $.85 Yankee to $1 Aussie. So at that rate, the guitar would cost you roughly $2500, which is cheaper than this. However, if what we learned about shipping to Australia from the rest of the world works the same in reverse, getting it delivered to your door will cost almost as much as this. I'll leave it to you to decide which one is the better deal.

Have heard very good things about the Brierley pickups, having seen them used in numerous custom builds. I assume, being handwound, they've got a pricetag to match? Or are they relatively cheap compared to the big name companies..? edit: Magnificent looking guitar, by the way. Absolutely love it.

1300 euros. They were around 900 in 2002, should've gotten one back then. Then again, at the time I checked this one, there was one on eBay for 1900 so I thought I'd better board that train before it leaves town.

The US ones seem about right but the ones from the Eurozone are all like 2k which is mad. And tone tweakers is trying to sell 2 of them for 2700 and 2900 euros respectively which is...insane.

I sold my Juno-6 about 3 weeks ago and I miss it. But lack of full midi just wasn't working for me. My midi rig is a burgeoning, sprawling nightmare of Maple junctions, filters, transforms and keyboard splits. The Juno just never wanted to play.  Just as I start to get everything barely working again, I find the input/output monitors don't want to display anything except sysex messages. Arrrrgh!

 Click here for the full 1728x1296 image. Saw this at a local store but was first shocked by the ridiculous shelf price. Went and talked to the guy behind the counter and mentioned that I could get it for far less if I bought it online. The salesperson dropped the price by 110 euros and we had a deal immediately.  (It's just a Squier Vintage Modified really)

To be honest, I'm surprised that one can even buy an analogue synth for under $450, given current analogue fetishist prices. Anyway, I can deal with the lack of MIDI if it means I can get a great-sounding synth with dedicated controls for that price.

You can sequence the early Junos via CV or something right? So they're not entirely about live performance?

It has lots of CV/pedal controls which is great if thats how you do things but if you have a half and half MIDI/software rig then it kind of sits on the outside. Theres alot of stuff you can do with MIDI that isn't to do with sending it note on/off messages remotely from a DAW piano roll. Most people will only use it for that but you can do some pretty crazy things with a full MIDI rig, MIDI OX and a virtual MIDI port. You can split keyboards that don't have a keyboard split. You can change the size of keyboard split zones and make them overlap. You can have as many zones as you have keys. You can play multiple synths in multiple zones on a single keyboard so that you can (for example) have a Virus in multimode playing 2 parts in the top and bottom octave and in the 3 octaves in between you can have your nord lead + omega4 + a6 whatever stacked so that the nord plays in 1st octave, nord + omega plays in 2nd octave, a6 + omega plays in 3rd octave. You can inject, transform and/or filter MIDI messages which is especially useful for early MIDI synths or synths with lovely MIDI implementation that respond badly to certain events. All Jomox gear that is complicated enough to have MIDI i/o is a good example of that. The creative uses of the above are just too numerous to list here. I prefer synths that are fully 'CC mappable' so that I can make a dashboard of every knob, button and slider on a synth and then link it to Virus knobs. You can even link to Virus buttons via sysex which isn't possible in TI remote mode. Certain multi function uses for a button can be scripted so an entire synth on the other side of your room can be totally remotely controlled from a single keyboard and to switch instruments you just tab to the next midi track in your DAW. You literally never need to go anywhere near those synths except to turn them on and off. You can leave the dust cover on. WanderingKid fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Jun 6, 2010 |

MrLonghair posted:You can sequence the early Junos via CV or something right? So they're not entirely about live performance? The pre-midi Junos had a proprietary CV type control. There were a couple models of sequencers that could interface with them and a few other pieces of gear released around that time.

This particular keyboard was marketed towards the home and not the pro market so it didn't fetch as much attention from collectors. Even though I almost never use a synth for anything anymore I still couldn't pass it up.

 Click here for the full 1200x1600 image. Just got a used tenor sax on craigslist; it's a Selmer USA model. I've been looking for a tenor for forever and finally found one in my price range. This is the sellers image, since I don't have a camera, so the other stuff in the background is not mine. I'm pretty psyched to learn to play an instrument that not only has such a beautiful sound, but is also a complete departure from the guitar in terms of mechanics. I tried to learn violin a few years ago, but didn't stick with it since whenever I picked up, I just felt like I'd rather play guitar, since I was so much better at it. I could deal with the fretlessness and playing in tune, just not the bow. Seriously, gently caress bows. Also, it was my grandmother's seventy year old (crappy student model old, not vintage awesome old) instrument that was sitting in an attic for who knows how long, so that probably didn't help either. Hopefully I won't have that problem with saxophone since they won't feel the same at all. Anyways, I forsee great things coming from learning sax. Maybe it will even help with singing as well since it requires a lot of breath and mouth control.

Seen a few of these posted up in here fairly recently. Hope you guys all like yours as much as I like mine, they're really solidly put together Today I put a couple finishing touches on a little project. It still needs knobs, but the internals are done.  It's a RunoffGroove Little Gem built into some junk Aiwa bookshelf speaker.  I guess this is a complement to the one I made a bit ago with a Runoff May Queen boost and Ruby amp.  No internal shots of this one mostly because it looks sloppy as heck. I don't have a very good way to get sound samples of these, but Runoff has a big page of sound clips that should give you a general idea if you're interested.
