Post by jca83 » Mon Jun 14, 2004 7:11 am

and bought...

a smashup. $45 after shipping.

a yamaha tx81z FM tone generator - $60 after shipping (good price? yes? no?)

an alesis hr-16. $35 after shipping (good price? yea/nay?)

and.. i'm bidding on an e-mu drumulator. if you see one on ebay, don't bid on it. please.

and, i'm thinking of buying the linn drum that's sitting up here at work.

Uhhh... Sadly... yes. Fender J-bass and Tele. "Sadly" due to my rampant misuse of credit to obtain them . But they're sooo pretty. And I got such a good deal. And there is nothing like the sound of a J-bass or a Tele. And next to my other bass and my little bros guitars... F a buncha Feng Shui. Decorate with guitars.
Nice helmet safety bitch.

thats a really good price for the HR16. theyre pretty user friendly, which is nice, but the sounds definitly need the help of a big muff or bitrman. but you already knew that :wink:

drumulators are a little clunky but underrated. they actually have some really realistic sounds for that period. great swing quanitzation too. pick that sucker up if you can.

If you bought American Standards, you can probably consider them not only art and means of creating, but investments. Those things appreciate. Squires and cheap knock offs like the pair I have aren't worth the materials they're made of. I accept them for what they are, but eventually... :wink:

I got three crappy old shure 517sh mics and 2 little atlas stands for $16 (!)
havent heard the mics but the freq reponse looks pretty close to a 57 and if they're bunk, well shit, it was 16 bucks, the stands are worth more than that

Let us know how the central station turns out if you get it. I know a couple of people on here have been considering it, and I would love one... but dont know about the money issue.
