Ah. I must have not noticed that (or, more likely, not cared). :)

Doron, someone accused me of being a fair-weather fan cause I didn't have it there. I'd just forgotten to put it up...perhaps its addition can turn things around. :thu:

Let me qualify this first--I pretty much can be a gear snob, when it comes to keyboards. But the new Casio stuff is actually pretty cool. They're putting some great sounds, and some good features on some of their $3-500 boards. Not that I'll replace my ES with one of those... ;)

I am absolutely the antithesis of a gear snob. I'll use anything that sounds cool, and I could care less what logo is on the thing.

 

Once, I did a serious recording using a no-name bass that had three strings on it and employed a fork as a tuning peg. But the thing sounded fat, and I didn't need that G string anyway. ;)

Casio gets less respect than they deserve. Let's face it, the sounds they now use were state-of-the-art just a few years ago. So they take technology which is not current but definiteely not obsolete, and package it into inexpensive machines .... The $250 Casio of today is an amazing achievement when you consider that 20 years ago families were laying out $3K on Baldwin home organs that ostensibly served the same purpose but actually did far less, and sounded far worse.

 

I'm a former Casio owner. Yes, I did move up to 'pro' boards after a couple years. But my WK1500 served me very well. I'd recommend these type boards to beginners any day. Lotsa good portable sounds for little $$$ - a great combination.

 

Twenty years ago, inexpensive 'beginner' music gear was generally garbage. That has changed; nowadays $200 can get you a good beginner's guitar or bass or keyboard. IMO those who feel a beginner ought lay out thousands on 'pro' gear are either living in the past or they are insecure about their own self-image, and projecting it onto folks who don't know enough to understand.

I used to think I was Libertarian. Until I saw their platform; now I know I'm no more Libertarian than I am RepubliCrat or neoCON or Liberal or Socialist.

 

This ain't no track meet; this is football.

Jeff....have we replaced the g string with another article of clothing?????? :D:D:D

 

By the by, I sent you an e-mail many, many moons ago regarding Tascam. Did you ever get it, or did it get lost in pc limbo?????
