Steve LeBlanc Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Keep his feet warm. Either that, or they're lights. (Grumble, grumble, hrmph...) Seriously, what are they? Tony's answer was pretty funny, they are warm. But yes, his second answer is correct...they are very bright white lights that allow the audience to see me occasionally. On the first tour, I was in the dark most of the show, I'm not vain about such things but for the fans' sake, thank jeebus they finally put some decent lights on me. Now if I could stop knocking them over I'm surprised no one asked what the collection of different sized butt plugs on top of my rack are. ;) Quote http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanker. Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I just assumed they were actually butt plugs. Those things can be invaluable after a questionable pre-gig meal. Quote A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Which board was easier to use as a controller to, eg., a Yamaha ES Rack, etc.? If you're doing any serious MIDI stuff, I would highly suggest the XK3c. It has three fully configurable, splittable zones and also the assignable knobs and buttons on the right hand side. I use my XK3 with a Motif ES rack and it works great. Quote Keep it greazy! B3tles - Soul Jazz THEO - Prog Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewImprov Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 You need to slide those congas around next to the Moog so you can reach them. ... I hate to ask what is in that can next to the congas. :-) Hate to disappoint, but it's a dumbek in its case. And our percussionist plays the congas about a hundred times better than I could, so I'll leave 'em in his setup. Nice! @New&Improv: What kind of stand is that supporting the StudioFlyer4U? Some sort of QuicLok WS? Good catch, it's Quiklok WS 540, the mixer/rack version of their T-stand. It' a very convenient little stand, solid as anything and packs up very small.

Michael Wright Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi Gord! Yes nice case for the NE3-61! Good Score Got my C2 case! I am looking at what guys are using for a 1U rack mixer. I saw the Samson SM-10 in the States last week. Price is really good, but was looking at an Ashly also. Hope the case is working out!
