vonnor Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I just ordered the Kurzweil Forte SE to replace the Arturia Keylab-88 as my bottom board. I had a chance to play one a few months ago in Ft. Wayne and kinda got lost in the piano sound and responsiveness. Supposed to be back in stock mid April. ~ vonnor Quote Gear: Hardware: Nord Stage4, Korg Kronos 2, Novation Summit Software: Cantabile 3, Halion Sonic 3 and assorted VST plug-ins.

KuruPrionz Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Just got my state income tax refund and spent a chunk of it on a couple of new mics: a Shure SM57 (to complement the SM58 I already have!) and an AKG P220. Eventually, I'd like a pair of AKG P170s and a Shure PGA52 so I can do a better job of mic'ing my wife's drumset. Sweetwater still has Neat Worker Bees for $90. I have a pair, great for acoustic guitar. Would make an excellent pair for stereo overheads.

Original color was black, it looked like somebody had painted it gold metallic with a broom. Had the matching black headstock and wonder of wonders - a gold anodized aluminum pickguard that was probably at the bottom of the bin when they filled it back up and got missed for a few years. L neck, birds-eye maple back and rosewood fingerboard. That was a favorite of mine for a few years. Over the years, I've had 3 Jazzmasters all pre-CBS. Now I have none but it would be fun to have one!!!!! Sir Bryce is not the only admirer of such goodies!!!! (lurking guitarist right here...).

KuruPrionz Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 There I was, happily playing on my new Tech 21 Double Drive and waiting for the Aston Element to arrive (it's here and really a great mic). Then, somebody put their Mom's Peavey Fury bass on craigslist - one of the older models. It is super clean, very little wear and absolutely no corrosion or crud buildup anywhere. Mom was meticulous and son didn't play so it sat. $200 with a hardshell case, a great bass. Me so very happy now! https://www.flickr.com/photos/143117517@N04/albums/72157718701534088 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

Al Coda Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Got some new speakers. ... a pair of Kali Audio IN8s for the studio.dB dB,- I´ve read the Kali Audio N5 hiss less than the N8 because of an "improvement". Did you compare both ? Can it be, they use different Class-D amp chips ? IMO, in a 3-way system, 4"coax and 8" woofer make more sense than 4"coax and 5" woofer,- but who knows which DSP- or other magic make the N5 a better choice.

cp-the-nerd Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 My Yamaha MG10XU arrived yesterday for my upcoming birthday and it was left on my doorstep in light precipitation, unprotected. It was shipped with a label slapped on the actual product box for the world to see in a less than perfect neighborhood with a lot of foot traffic. There really needs to be some standards for package delivery, this was a $200 purchase. The box could've been put inside my screen door, or at least not three feet away from my house in the effing rain. In a reasonable world, it should have been inside a shipping box with a plastic bag over it. 10 extra seconds of effort.
