mooghead Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Of course! Actually my guitar player's Mesa Boogie was on that keg...crashing my ears :-) It was this last saturday, and it was a good night with a good set-list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooghead Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I like to see picture...for example Coyote plays standing, in front of the audience. I play seated hidden by my rig. How do you manage to use sustain, volume, switch and expression pedals while standing? Don't you get leg ache after a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Lessee... I have a sustain and a wah for the MK80 and another sustain for the QS, as well as a volume pedal which controls both. I also have an FCB1010 midi pedalboard (not pictured) which sits under the Hammond. In addition, distortion and delay pedals for the tunes on which I play guitar.... there's actually far too much going on for me to sit while playing. I don't get leg ache; I get brain cramps.

If you mounted next to a microphone, no-one would be the wiser! Although it would rule out playing standing up! I always feel like I am about to fall on my ear when I play standing up at the soberest of times, every time I reach for a pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooghead Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Well, actually my singer goes around on and off the stage offering Jack Daniels to band members and audience. I drank some before November Rain and for a while I haven't felt much sober. You can see it from my face taken at the break http://fun.supereva.it/compapiva/2004_05_22_Healthy/Images/143_4338.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resigned Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I admire you guys for your hard work but the older I get the less gear I care to carry. I used to haul around the B-3's, Rhodes, Kurzweils and other synths, leslies/amps etc. like a good hard-working keyboardist, but now here is my complete live rig for either solo or band use: http://www.hiltonheadmusic.com/9000stage-a.jpg This is a Yamaha 9000 Pro with the PLG150-PF and PLG150-DX expansion cards added (total polyphony: 208). Because the 9000 Pro is an arranger keyboard I can jam and perform songs on the fly, but mostly I just call up my midi files from the internal hard drive. The 9000 Pro also has built-in vocal DSP/effects and harmony and all of the settings can be stored under a song name. If I really want to impress people then I can add the second tier to my QuikLok Monolith stand and put my Motif ES 8 on the bottom or use a seperate midi controller to access sounds from the 9000 Pro, but really I can do everything I need with just the 9000 Pro. The amp is the Motion Sound KP-200s. Yes, those are flame lights in the picture, which don't look so hot in this daytime picture but at night they really give off a lot of light and ambience. This entire rig fits into a VW Cabrio easily and takes 15 minutes to setup or take down max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all go into a Phonic mixer, and I sing with an AKG condenser headset. How can I post the picture of this rig? Only by putting it on a webspace?Well I'm actually considering some changes: - A Yamaha P90 with my beloved Electro on top for hammond and a Voyager AE on the right. Later on I could put the Moog on top of the Yamaha and have a dual manual (or the Electro+SL161) on the left... What do you think about it? More essential, no bells and whistles, less time to set up and tear down...I'm torn between my present and my planned rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 WHen I was a gigging drummer (mid-80s to mid-90s) I sometimes did five gigs per weekend in NYC. I had a fold-up acoustic kit (PureCussion) which allowed me to take my entire set on the subway. It was a godsend; I'd never have been able to do that had I been required to drive to gigs. But now that I'm older and no longer a music 'pro', I can afford the luxury of hauling the Hammond, Rhodes, Marshall stack, etc. to the occasional gig.

Growing older doesn't neccessarily mean we move less stuff Yes it does - it's just a matter of how much damage you do before you make that decision. My mother was a tough and highly independent businesswoman who ran a successful bar for many years... until the day she picked up a case of beer and ruptured a disk in her back. She lost the bar immediately, but sueing Medicare for disability took much longer. Three major back surguries and decades of debilitating pain later, she can walk and even drive a car again. I pulled a muscle in my back about three years ago trying to carry a Kurzweil PC88 in it's Anvil flight case into a bar. That was warning enough. It's only now tha technology has given us lighter options to heavy keyboards and I'm not going to wait until I am crippled for life to play it safe.

Nordude Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 To me, portability has become more and more important. So I got rid of my P80 and use a Roland RS-9 (12 kg) as the lightest 88-key controller I could find for the price (and it has some OK sounds as well!). Must admit I'm considering a fully weighted stage piano again, but no P80 (too heavy keyboard feel, my wrists hurted, and I am even a piano player), perhaps a RD-170 (any comments on that one?). Besides the RS-9, I use a Yamaha S30 (61 keys, I travel light with that one!) and a Nord Electro Rack 2. I use a heavy sheet music stand for the NE Rack (no case or something, this is a cheap and convenient solution for reachability) and I use 2 QuickLok X-stands for the other synths. Demands less space in a car than the my home QuickLok-stand. That's all, folks Sorry, no pictures yet. Wish list: RD-170 or RD-700, Nord Lead2X, Triton LE or Akai Sampler.

88keys4me Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I have to admit, at 51 lbs my Yamaha S90 is a porker. But, it's the ONLY keyboard I use, and I can often get someone to help me carry it. No problem with my powered monitors since they weigh only 25 lbs. each. Two cabinets are great since they not only split up the weight, but they're also easier to put in and take out of my car. Do I wish I was still hauling around my B3 and 122 Leslie like I did 30 years ago? Well, nothing will ever equal the sound of that rig, but nothing has ever been more challenging to take from place to place (short of a 9 foot Steinway grand piano!)

DirtyRubberDuck Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I'm into a light rig - I just recently left my Yamaha S80 behind for my much lighter Triton. (topic of another thread) My only other equipment is an Onstage stand, SM58 mic, and custom mini-Leslie amp/speaker. DRD Someday I'll make enough money to hire Roadies!

JonLord Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Triton Classic 61 Roland JP8000 Korg N1 88 I will make a major show in july in a theatre that has a Steinway Grand Piano and a Fender Rhodes! This will be a cool setup! How I wished to have a Hammond B3 and a mini-moog... I'm looking now for the microkorg vocoder, hammond simulators and some analog old stuff. A Hammond here is hard to find, sometimes you can find some models to sell but the B3 is hard... www.metaljam.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
