    How to almost ruin a gig

    in The Keyboard Corner

    Posted

    I once had a gig in Fairfield, CT., a hefty drive from north Jersey where I lived. Got there and realized I had left my cord bag at home. One cord was my B3-to-Leslie multi-pin cable. Found a local Hammond store, hopped down there ASAP - they were just about to close - and they had a cable, but it would have cost me more than I would have made that night. Instead, I got a six-foot Leslie-to-Leslie jumper. Played the gig with the Leslie about four feet from my head.

    Wow! Say it ain't so. (Sweetwater)

    Not sure what you are referring to. I specifically referenced the original commenter and his take on the issue. Don"t read into or edit my words to draw another conclusion. I have the highest regard for Chuck and Sweetwater but I"m not some noob that hasn"t lived through the same IPO, VC, equity partner that ultimately calls the shots. Try reading in context.

    If you meant something else "in context" then the way your formatted your message is bad.

     

    As it is, Mike Martin was the first reply to the OP in which he said "Chuck is still the chairman," and, "...I don't share his skepticism."

    You specifically referenced those two lines from Mike's reply, and then below added your "Gullibull" and "Nincompoop" comment.

     

    How else is anyone supposed to read that other than you are calling out Mike Martin and basically saying he's ignorant?

     

    No one is editing your words.

     

    'I don"t share his skepticism'â¦'Chuck is still the chairman'â¦yeah, that has obligations to the board, the shareholders and the investment company.

     

    What a gullibull, what a nincowpoop!

     

     

    When I first read Motif88"s post, I thought maybe I"m taking it the wrong way or misinterpreting it. Seems others are seeing it as an insult to Mr. Martin also - shame on you Motif88!

     

    Back to SW - I"ve had nothing but positive experiences with them. Always got what I thought was a fair price. My rep would always check in with me after a purchase, or notify me about something I asked him to notify me. Never bothersome.

    I hope this changeover doesn"t affect any of this. Never can tell.

    Nord monitor input connector problem

    I had this problem when I used to try and get my acoustic/electric guitar to play through my NS3.

    Turns out there are 2 different types of 1/8' TRS connectors- one slightly more bulbous at the tip. That"s the one to use with Nord.

    I was having problems with crackling or ground hum or no signal at all. Then I put a cheapo extension cable on it, and worked fine.

    New John Mayer Tune - Wait, are keyboards cool again????

    Since we're on the subject of the 80s....this was the video that prompted the whole conversation about the new John Mayer song. I had never seen this, and fair warning: you will never be able to unsee it.

     

    Please don't stop watching until you have seen both the "sax solo" and the attempted James Brown caping.

     

     

    Thanks a lot, MOI !

    You"ve managed to ruin one of the few John Mellonhead songs I sorta liked.
