The "Dusty Harp Pickup" ranges from $300-400 and looks like a cool use of piezo transducers.

petit choux posted:Best way to be. So have you posted your sax? I want to see the mouthpiece. Maybe? but here's more gore plus some gore of me playing the thing    The mouthpiece is definitely nothing special and I believe I will be replacing that fairly soon, well before I am thinking about... tenors... in any more detail. But lots of work to do in the meantime. I've been playing 20-30 mins 4-5 days a week since I got it. https://i.imgur.com/YKn72wG.mp4 (sound, tempo picks up a lot ~10 sec in) edit: I sort of want to work up to blowing #3 reeds again before upgrading the mouthpiece. I am on 2.5s now, up from 2s when I started.

Disting EX can do the pitch to cv, but PP1 looks like it's everything I'd want... in basically an entirely new module... from BEHRINGER  I want the pitch tracking so I can feed spectraphon a pitch line that in someway approximates the input audio. Or, maybe invert it and throw that at spectra, or do both at once, and such things. Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Aug 13, 2023 |

I looked at them but I decided to start with the physical thing because it's cool and I played one middlingly for 8 years straight in another life. A pickup mic is on the list; if the Behr PP1 module actually works as advertised to any significant degree that will be wild but it's vaporware for now  I haven't bought a disting yet and the rudimentary pitch tracking it provides isn't pushing me over the edge.Technically I got another new thing, Tesseract Low Coast, has a decent FM tuner and costs marginally more than a fancy blank  ($35 shipped) the first thing that happened when I hooked it up was tuning into "under the bridge" by Nirvana, through Spectraphon. Hilarious. petit choux posted:I wish I'd played sax now, of course.

Armacham posted:I used to play clarinet, but I respect my marriage too much to pick that up again Haha, fundamental to the timing of this purchase is the fact that I work from home and my partner just started working full time away from the house, so I am spending most of my week in an otherwise empty house (well, two cats) on 11 acres. I've been taking my Katana outside and just absolutely wretchedly butchering chords, with enough detuning and delay that it sounds like I'm butchering the cats. One of my neighbors who is maybe 1/8 to 1/4 of a mile away, said that she's heard me playing the horn but she likes it because it's so different than all the gasoline engines and gunfire that usually punctuate the landscape here. I told her that if it becomes insufferable, she ought to call me and tell me before reaching for a gun  petit choux posted:Same for me with the trumpet. I tried it with both the Boss SY-500 and with Origin's MIDIguitar VST, and have found the MIDIguitar to give very good tracking so far. I'll check that out. The behr PP1 appears to be exactly what I want at $99, all nicely in rack, but if I have to use a VST in the meantime, UGH FINE I OWN A COMPUTER GEEZ.

Now it might be a shock, but I bought another Hondo  H-76, which replaced the H-7600 and the Fame Series 760. There were also H-75(single HB) and H-77(HSS) versions in red and pearl white. These were supposedly not made by Samick, and while it weighs way more than my Samick Hondos and has a rosewood fretboard, the neck is otherwise identical. Also, Samicks were Korean, and these were made in Indonesia or Taiwan. And for more pointless trivia on Hondo, Ad-Rock from the Beastie Boys played Hondos almost exclusively, with a black H-77 being used on a bunch of live performances of Sabotage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WvgGdivQzE&t=35s I now have six, black, Hondo Strats, and they're all distinct different models.

So cheating a little as I bought this Fender AVRI Jazzmaster back in 2010 off a guy on ebay but a few weeks ago I replaced the neck and it's like a brand new guitar. I hadn't played at all since the pandemic started and not much for a few years before then but I finally dug all of my gear out of my parents attic and took my main electrics to get serviced. I can't recall for sure but I think this guitar had some neck issues going back to when I bought it and living in an attic for years did it no favors. My tech told me that at this point a simple adjustment wouldn't be enough and I bit the bullet and had him replace the neck. I'm so glad I did, this thing plays so fast and smooth now it's unreal.  Oh also I bought a Nux Mighty Plug Pro that you can see on the couch cushion and it's been a ton of fun messing with it.

I've been fascinated by violins for ages, but never really thought to try one. So, I printed one (https://www.printables.com/model/464655-modular-fiddle-4-string-violin-v4)  I'm pretty amazed by the sound that comes out it. But I'm completely clueless about how to play it or even start that process. I can sound out melodies and find where the notes are on the fretboard, so that's a little bit of a start. Last night I watched one of those videos where a person tracks their playing from day 0 to 2+ years later and it motivated the hell out of me.

Not extremely related but a lot of the plastic that people print things from, it doesn't have a real long lifespan, does it?

Browsing my normal stops for used guitars, came across this, then had to anxiously wait a week before I had the cash. Came with it's original case, which is really nice.      Electra 2238WC Rock 'N' Soul. Originally would have been a standard humbucker in the neck and a Tele-style pickup in the bridge. This one was modded with some interesting pickups.    Wasn't 100% sure when I bought it, but those appear to be the real deal Fender WRHBs to me, although there is no date stamp on either. Both have the red S/5 on them. Other things, has a three piece neck with a flamed center section and even a little flame on the fretboard.   Original pickguard modded to fit the WRHB, bridge is cut down and a pearloid mount created to hold the bridge pup. Done really well.  Now, the bad. Frets are Fretless Wonder style, whether it came this way or has been played down to that size. Still, no buzz, no grooves. Pots are junk, switch is questionable. Volume works, but not well and the knob falls off. Tone pot works in a very narrow section of the middle of the dial. Just going to snip it out of the circuit for now. Threw on new strings, did a basic setup, dropped the action in half, and damned if it doesn't play really well. Also not as heavy as I feared, about 8 pounds. Oh, and looking at Reverb, I paid less for the whole setup than I would have to pay for a single original WRHB. Of course, now I'm playing the game of keep/flip/part-out.

I’ve always wanted a Flying V and I bought one and it makes me glad. I don’t need another 24.75” two humbucker guitar but cmon Flying V. Orville-made with Gibson America pickups of some kind (Gibson patent# pickups or replicas).

Adding to the Harmony side of my collection, a Marquis by Harmony P-Bass copy. Made sometime in very late 70s or very early 80s by Samick. Had to replace the nut and still need to move the strap button back to the upper horn. Weighs almost 10.5 pounds. Also, that may be a DiMarzio P-Bass pickup since this is a rebadged version of the Hondo HD-850.  Insane figure on the fretboard  Only the best plywood for the body!  Brass bridge!  Color is what Samick calls Antique Burst, and like every single AB Samick I've ever seen, it has a little skidmark/tail of darker stain by the bottom strap button  Not joking, see my two AB LP-esque things

petit choux posted:Holy cow Once I can get the nut to stay in place I'll find out. When I got it the nut was broken and hot glued in place. This is one of those headstocks where the low E is just out of place so the nut gets yanked sideways when tuned to pitch. So had to get all the goop off, then square everything up because it appears the real purpose of the hot glue was to fill giant gaps. Little blob of titebond, new nut, and it promptly popped loose when tuned to pitch. So more cleanup, roughed up all the surfaces, and more glue and we'll see if it holds.
