I love my Rickenbacker 330 with flatwounds.
I've been getting a lot of guitar gear for me and the wife before we hit the road for 2 weeks in June.
I got a Dr. Z Maz 38 1x12", a bunch of pedals...I added a Wren and Cuff Caprid, Diamond Compressor, and Diaz Tremodillo to my board, that also has a tuner, Crowther Hot Cake, MXR Phase 45, and Way Huge Aqua Puss. I'm thinking about getting a Retro Chorus or maybe a Fulltone Univibe.
I'm thinking of replacing the Aqua Puss with a Maxon AD900 if I can find a good deal on one...the Aqua Puss is a little too modulated sometimes.
I also got a great deal on an API 10 space rack from my old boss, so now I have to start filling it.

I'm in the middle of purchasing/restoring a 1971 Ampeg B25b with matching Ampeg 2 x 15" cab. I figured that if I'm going to play bass in a band that I should do so in style. And with back pain.

Given these last weekend.
Went looking at houses and these were in the loft. Owner says "Go ahead and take them; I'll never use them." Thank you!!!
a pair of EV-676's that look like they've been in the box for the last 30+ years.

Re: Given these last weekend.
Those are really nice on spoken word (male voice). Probably for sung vocals, too. I've seen footage of Jim Morrison with one, fwiw. I had one a long time ago, and sold it. Can't say I regret it-- I've got plenty of mics. But it's a good, relatively unknown mic.lifeintime wrote:EV-676

I'm kind of breaking the rules with this one because this isn't something I recently acquired. More like stuff I've had forever that I've repurposed.
It's a recreation of Hugh Le Caine's Special Purpose Tape Recorder. Le Caine built the prototype in 1955 as a way to allow players to use recorded sound as a composition and performance tool. His version had up to 20 tape loops running off of a single capstan and routed through a keyboard. It's a similar idea to the melotron although Le Caine's machine was 10 years ahead of the melotron.
My version uses a 16 track 1/2" machine playing a tape loop. Each track routes to a key on the keyboard of a gutted Baldwin Synth-a-Sound I've had in the garage for years. From the keyboard everything routes to a rack mounted mixer.
It's totally melotron like but you get to record your own tape bank for each sound. I've been playing around making a choir out of 16 recordings of my voice. Tons and tons of fun.

Here's a bit of stuff I recorded while testing the thing out. There's a 2nd reel to reel incorporated into everything as well. On this little sketch it was used to build up a rhythm loop that I play over. The all the sounds are pitch shifted copies of me singing one note.
