They’re top tier guitars in my opinion. Semi-hollows in general do sound a bit different than a standard solid body. They’re slightly more acoustically resonant and have kind of a different vibe to the sound. But they can still get mean if you want them to. It’s hard to describe. Duesenberg makes fantastic guitars though. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 11:54 on Apr 24, 2021 |

I bought a Korg Minilogue XD today. I kept waffling between whether I wanted to pay 500-550 for a used one or wait until a sale at one of the major online retailers. I was going to drive myself nuts waiting, so I pulled the trigger when a near-mint listing showed up on Reverb in limited edition pearl white. The first time I tried to buy it, I got an error message. It worked the second time, but now there are two pending charges. Hooray.

The XD is great, got a huge range of very useable functions. It's my one and done synth.

I finally moved into a house instead of an apartment, some of the triggers on my electronic drumset have started to fail, and someone asked if I wanted to record a few drum tracks for a project they're doing. Sounds like a good excuse to buy a new acoustic set. My cat, inspecting the assembly.  The finished product. It's funny, I've been playing electronic drums for longer than I ever played acoustic ones at this point, but I immediately felt more at home with this than I ever had on the electronic set.

My wife wants me to teach her guitar and I could definitely use a good acoustic for recording purposes... So I picked up a Takamine GN93CE with an absolutely gorgeous back.

Is that a 4 or a 10? I love my ac-4 but it’s definitely a little bright. I’d never give it up though.

It’s neither actually! It’s a Pathfinder 15R, the now discontinued solid state amp that’s shot up in price lately. I got a really good deal on it and it really does sound awesome, surprisingly AC-ish tones and it gets way louder than I expected lol

My Yamaha thr10iiw doubles as portable speaker as well. It's pretty cool to have both in one device, even if it is larger than other portable speakers.

The Yamaha thr amps definitely sound generally better than this one. The goal for me was to get one that sounded as close as possible to my main big boy vox and it sounds closer. They're fun little toys.

My new keyboard arrived today! Always keep a close eye on "Amazon Warehouse Deals" they resell returned items from amazon, and they often price things in an insane way. For example this Casio WK-7600 typically goes for $500+ brand new but Amazon was listing it for $200 "used with significant cosmetic damage to the top". The thing is they do no inspect the actual item, when Amazon says "cosmetic damage" they mean the box. My keyboard came in a sticky gross box that looks like someone spilled juice on it. But once I opened it up it was clear that this device had never been touched by human hands since the day it was manufactured. $300 discount for a sticky box? I'll take that!

Is that a US-only thing, or something? I tried googling it for Australia, but I didn't seem to find much of anything. Either way, great spot!

I checked the Australia site and it doesn't seem to have it, and I checked the US version and there were very few warehouse deals. Oddly enough the UK version of Amazon seems to have just as many warehouse deals as Canada. Maybe Amazon isn't big enough in Australia to get a lot of returns? I mean you guys are right next to Asia, I imagine that Aliexpress would be a better option anyway

In the Amazon search bar there's a dropdown on the left that you can change from 'All' to 'Amazon Warehouse'. If you scroll down to the very bottom of the page in the lower left there's also a link.

   Not really a purchase, per se, but borrowing it. I can tell it's an Aria, and I know it's probably a 80s or (maybe) an 90s Aria, but past that no one has any idea. Figured maybe someone here could ID it. Needs some TLC

Looks like a 1978 ES175 with a replaced tailpiece. https://www.mylespaul.com/threads/identifying-aria-sg-copy.386052/ Pull the pickups to check if they're single coils.

Not entirely comfortable taking off the headplate with all the strings attached though, i kind of dislike the plain strings over wound strings, I'm finding my fingers are more easily "slipping" edit: I'm noticing some electronic issues, the aux slot is kind of worn in (jiggle the cable slightly and the amp produces some feedback) and the RHYTHM/TREBLE 3-way switch on it either is broken, or perhaps one of the two humbuckers is broken/shorted because setting it to TREBLE leaves no amplfication, and you gotta jiggle it a little bit because you may be able to set it back to RHYTHM with no amplification when it was working on that setting a moment before. anyone know how I'd fix that?

You can bend the contact on the jack in to hold the plug better or just replace it. Same with the switch although it's probably a box style switch that aren't really repairable. Switches and jacks are cheap the pots could be cleaned but if you're in there you might as well change them for something nicer too it's not like a vintage Fender or Gibson where if something is replaced it can devalue it. Keep the old parts in a baggie in or whatever just in case you want to pass them along if you resell it.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Not entirely comfortable taking off the headplate with all the strings attached Not sure what you’d mean by head plate or why you’d have to remove it. Or why the plain strings on this would feel different compared to any other guitar. It sounds like this has some wiring issues. You’re going to need to remove the rear control cover and inspect all the wiring connections and resolder anything that’s loose, and possible bend the contacts back into position on the output back and switch if possible as has been suggested.
