I am the proud re-owner on a Peavey Classic VTX 212 tube amp. Oh and I found my brothers Fender Strat so I don't "really" have to buy mine back.

I really wanted to get a sax instead but I ordered it when I was drunk. Usually when I make "not the best but doable" decisions.

I think sax is way harder. I can't play wind instruments. I lack the skill. :( I love listening to old Chicago and wish I could blow a horn.

I have one of those Peaveys. Best amp I've ever owned, although, I'm looking to sell all my guitar stuff for a fretless Jazz Bass. Decided to stray away from the metal.

the fretless jazz bass sounds so good if you have skill.

I loves me the Fretless Jazz. It's not entirely hard. You just have to have more co-ordination otherwise you end up sharp or flat, but you can do so much with one. They're so pretty sounding.

David Sylvian has a bass player named Mick Karn. He is my favorite fretless bass player.

The nano controllers are pretty amazing. Using the Microkorg XL to computer (midi) and then using the nano controller with the pads is pretty interesting. You can basically take a $50 piece of equipment and use it like has the price of $400 (like the Roland SP-404).

Lately I've been really interested in creating NES style music with the basic 5 channels it used. I can replicate a lot of it on Reason 4 but there's something way better than that shit.


http://www.wayfar.net/images/web_purchase2a.jpg

BAMMMM!!! TRICK OR TREAT THAT UP YOUR ASS YOU FUCKING FIENDS!

Probably wandering what the fuck it is, lets just say it converts your NES into Midi. Imagine playing live with this piece of machinery by your side and I promise you won't have to worry about someone bumping the table and causing the NES to flicker on and off.

I'd love to get my hands on a MidiNES but only if you can use it with a guitar that has a Midi pickup, and then i'd need to get my hands on one of those. >:

I have the smaller version of this and a buddy of mine owns this model. I don't really know how you plan to use it, but if it isn't for playing like a piano I'd actually recommend something else for a couple extra bucks.

Acoustic, old Ibanez bass, Big Muff bass pedal (green), 10" Behringer practice bass amp, and Line 6 POD XT Live(Guitar). The POD XT Live is probably the best $320 I have spent in a long time.

Old 1970s Ampeg B-25 tube amp I managed to pick up some years ago. It's for bass, but I play my guitar through it because I like the warm rich sounds. Bass players actually didn't like this thing back in the 70s because of the natural over-drive it has after it is turned up about halfway. Four 12" Celestion speakers. I re-apolstered it with that nasty plaid because I wanted a vintage look with a sour twist.

Two of my other guitars are also in here. EC-1000 ESP with EMG 81s, and a H-300 with Seymour Duncan 59s in it. Both are one piece guitars. No bolt ons for this kid.

I like your setup MattJack. What kind of software are you running? Perhaps any Ableton and Protools setup?

I have Acid, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Reason, Sound Forge, Traktor DJ Studio 3, and DeckaDance. I use FL Studio and Sound Forge for production, and Traktor/DeckaDance and Ableton for jamming on the fly.

I've actually been trying to figure out if there is any decent way to use FL Studio's Live Mode(i'm sure there is), but I simply haven't devoted enough time to figuring it out :\

I really want the nano pad with x y controller and the pads. Currently I'm using reason but I have ableton as well which I'm about to install and mess around with for a while. My room mate has this book that tells you everything about Ableton which should make for some good bathroom reading material.

On another note, my room mate is about to purchase this bad boy soon...

Specifically made to interact with ableton, so I'm really anticipating to see how this thing works.

I played on this thing two days ago at Guitar Center. It feels sturdy and has a lot of capabilities, but I just don't use Ableton enough :(

Buddy of mine just got the Roland SP404sx and the capabilities of it and the Akai XR20 in conjunction with one another is amazing. We've been messing around and making some noisy songs which is more noise than it is song I guess, but it is truly amazing. We've been wanting to run my guitar through it and sampling in some stuff so we can make some more conventional music. Hopefully I can post that soon.

I only have a lot of old cheap crap, a BOSS DR-550mkII, a MicroKORG, and a Virtualizer Pro DSP2024P. None of that is recorded, I just sample it via Audacity, and track using Milkytracker.

I thought I bought a KORG 03r/w yesterday, but I didn't read the auction detail and instead bought a KORG M3R. I want to die. ._.

here's my shitty music, most of this was in my VST days, before I decided I wanted to experiment with hardware. I may go back, actually.

Holy shit, that's a nice controller! I kinda wish they put the full MPC sequencer in there, though. Imagine carrying around a full-on battery powered MIDI sequencer with you, that would be so awesome! I understand with today being more of a software world that it would be redundant for a lot of people.

That Note Repeat is definitely badass, though.
