Is that why a lot of pop music used the preset sounds on the DX7? :p

Seriously, I'm not really sure how to approach buying one. I've never seen one on.craigslist or in the local pawn shops or music store. I think I want the dx7 ii, but I dunno if I really need to care that much that the midi functions properly. I'm not crazy about eBay but they do pop up there.

That's why you get FM8 and not a loving DX7.

Real talk when it comes to synths is that older ones are way loving more hassle than they're worth, especially digital ones.

I feel like a gearslut but FM8 sounds "softer" than hardware (yes it's digital blah blah A/B tests blah bla). I feel dirty now.

It's a single pickup attached to a battery then an output jack, it's knucklehead simple. Look up a soldering tutorial and an emg wiring schematic and go to town.

I really should have come up with something better before spending five bucks on this.

White Dog Eggs posted:

Last time I counted, I had 4 strat bodies, one red, two blue and one gross loving tobacco burst that stinks like a phone box on a hot day. All of them are Encore bodies (cheap UK guitar import company that has an odd habit of importing surprisingly good quality guitars occasionally). I had a black plywood one a few years ago that I ended up using as a sled.

That body could probably be glued back together pretty easily, although you might have to scarf in a new chunk of wood for the neck pocket. It'd be a cool project if you've got some basic wood tools/skills, plus it'd look gnarly as gently caress when it was all glued up.

Agreed it would look pretty badass if it were put back together, shattered pickguard pieces and all. I haven't opened the bodybag for it recently but I think the big challenge would be getting enough purchase to hold on the neck, since it had separated from the middle chunk of wood. I'll make sure to use imported rare tone glue if I do, however.

Please, for the love of God, order real tone clamps from Stew-Mac if you do this. You'll lose the benefit if the tone glue if you use scrub tier clamps to hold it all together to dry.

You'll thank us later.

Holy poo poo, my neighbors are mechanics (and the son is a guitar tech) and they work for the person that owns this thing now and they're fixing it up. So the way it was rigged up was it would have 3 amps, two for guitars and one of the electric organ in the back. But it also has a ton of jacks, like 20 or 40 along the top of the door panels that you would be able to plug into and play and have a ton of people playing at the same time. Off 3 amps. Yeah, those other jacks were never functional.

If you manage to electrocute yourself with a 9V battery that would be quite a feat. Who hasn't put the terminals to their tongue before as a quick test to make sure one isn't dead?
