Apologies if this was asked and answered elsewhere, but I’m so curious as to the use-case for the unfairchild in a school setting. What were you (sent) tasked with spec-ing out?

I know right??

Our building is being refurbed completely. We have well over 150 academic and professional staff plus goodness knows how many grad students and post docs, plus over 10,000 (really) undergrads - this is in compsci alone - growing at 20% per year as I write this. (We are bigger than every other school in the Faculty combined.) As part of the massive refurb - which will take five or six years to complete - we will almost certainly put in for an infrastructure grant for a proper audio recording space/studio.

This should get up. In comparison to the cost of engineering infrastructure across all of our R&D spaces, centres, hubs, labs, and other initiatives, audio stuff is relatively negligible. In all absolute seriousness, it will probably be the cheapest infrastructure grant request in our history!

A friend gave me one of those Roland Midi guitar pickups for my birthday so I'm diving down that terrible rabbit hole. Ordered a Roland GR30 form Reverb. I hope the sax sound is sexy enough. What a stupid thing. I can't wait.

I'm am seriously looking forward to this "Miami Vice music" project, it sounds like it's shaping up nicely. Inspiring.

It's been a wild two weeks for me and Japanese guitars. First I drove to and from Chicago to pick up this 1984 Greco Flying V. Then the other day, completely unexpectedly, I stumbled upon this 1978 Greco Explorer in a local shop and it played so great that I had to grab it too. Needless to say, some other stuff will be going up for sale.

Not a strictly musical item, but for me, not entirely unrelated:

3hp SawStop table saw

Sansamp BDDI v2 just showed up (I've had a v1 for years.)

Hope I like it.
