Latest gear you've acquired.....

Godin Inuk, it's a cross between an oud and a guitar. Beautiful instrument, i can't stop playing it.

edit: and a DBX 560a. Very nice on snare.

Very cool, didn't know about that...though I always thought the Glissentar looked like fun...

I didn't either, but i started checking out their ouds and then found out about the inuk. Found one on Reverb in new condition for less than half price and i couldn't resist. It's rapidly becoming my new favorite insrument.

Yes, that glissentar has caught my eye a number of times, looks very cool.

Picked up a Toadworks Mr. Squishy compressor pedal - very cool on bass.

As well, I bought another M-Audio M-Track Plus 2. I'm using 'em as USB soundcards on my laptops; with the option of recording thru 'em, I figured US$90 was a good price for good sound, comes with Cakewalk and Ableton light progs.

Yeah 1/2 price sounds fair...$850 seems a bit steep for my purposes but I could almost justify $400. I wish someone like Rondo Music would make a cheap one.

It was the $1600 model the ambient with ebony fretboard and bridge and the nicer electronics. I think I paid just under $700, but it seems well worth it.

Just got a Weeping Demon, also.

Wha? Wha? Why did'nt I get one before?

[blungo2]

Weeping Demon is great, just so fuggin ugly IMHO. Now i wish i hadn't sold mine

Ah well I'm sure it's a very nice one indeed then. I'm gonna have to make due with making a preset on my Variax, I guess.

Or get a cheap 12 string, string it with the higher 5 courses in unison and the 6th string single, that should approximate it pretty well. I'm tuning to open C, but pretty much any tuning works.

Just got a tympani drum! Or tympano, tympanum or whatever you want to call it.

I don't know what the official size is, but from outer rim to outer rim, it's 30", and from where the inside of the rim meets the head to the same thing on the opposite side, it's 29 1/2". It's freaking enormous!

It's a Slingerland, and a middle school was giving it away. The pedal didn't move at first, but after a couple hours of taking things apart and putting them back together I figured it out and got it working. Now I just have to clear some space for it!

That's a US quarter laying on top of the head.

Well, now I've done it.

That's so cool! If i had room, i'd love to have a pair of tympani.
