New Gear Acquisitions

[The Bandit]

An out of the blue NGD here. I can't say what I paid for this weird Vox SG type thingee (in case I want to sell it here someday), but it wasn't much. Especially for what a serious rock machine this thing is.

Nice, I've been considering trading for the next model up (no buying SunnJake I swear).  You like the bridge, neck, etc?

[VOLVO)))]

I'm actually a fan of embracing that desire rather than squelching it.  Be honest though... brown on cream,  yes?  





Brown on cream....


yes.

I do have leather. I probably won't be able to tool it up to my standard, though. Pickguard is fucking huge. At least with acid I can pick and replicate a proper design.

Picked up an Arturia beatstep sequencer/pad controller today.  it's a blast.

[AgentofOblivion]

I see things like that and have no idea what they even do. 

[RAGER]

I'm not too far a head of you but I'm learning.

[Pissy]

Yeah, the other day I was in Asheville and walked into the Moog store. Cool looking stuff, and the dude was all "try out anything you want!!"  I couldn't figure out anything. Nothing. Caveman on the Enterprise.

[RAGER]

See, the thing I like about Moog is that there is usually a knob on the panel that controls something.  You don't have to dive for a parameter change.  If you guys can figure out a daw then you'd be able to figure out some damn knobs.

The above controller is actually pretty damn simple.  That's why I got it.  It's 16 step sequencer.  16 pads and 16 correlating knobs.  Each pad is a note when you start it.  Be it 1/4 notes through to 1/32 notes.  Each knobs oes to the assigned pad.  It's an encoder that you can change pitch with.  You can adjust the pitch changes from chromatic scale, dorian, minor, major, blues, myx, harmonic minor or one of your choice.  you can change the length of the sequence, add rests and such.  you're not stuck with the 16 steps so can in effect change time signatures.  The big knob is transpose and tempo.  it also acts as a controller for software synth but I don't really do software stuff.  Pretty much just hardware.

It's a lot of fun.

It's not the prettiest thing, but it's a beast. Zildjian Z 24" Heavy Power Ride.

[Discö Rice]

Just picked up an electric cello. I <3 it.

[dogfood]

Got my new pick ups in the mail box, can't wait to slap'm in and hear them.  Sheptone Tribute Gold lightly scuffed up.  Can't fucking wait!

[jibberish]

I've wanted a Mastery Bridge for every short scale I've owned..

[RAGER]

Holy fuck I forgot to tell.  I got my SE-1.  Studio Electronics for those not in the know. Makers of Boomstar and lots of other cool shit.  This thing is oooo super bad ass.  My weekend so I have time to jam on it.  Talk about clean oscillators.  super big fat bass.  All the hip hop prod. dudes have these an lust for them if they don't.  Slike a minimoog.  I will have that Sub 37 in the fall when they come out but unitl then this thing is bad to the bone.  Got it through the Beatstep currently and playing drums to it.

I'm going to test the living hell out of this little yellow bastard.

[liquidsmoke]

Gallien-Krueger 410BLX for $150. Heavy and cheap(not ply) and it would take two of them to get serious volume but the low end is there. Worth the money.

How long before you sell the Custom?  Days or Hours?

Are you implying I'm fickle, make rash financial decisions and that this guitar is too good for me?
