Whatcha using these days? I was all in with the DW flush base stuff, but I'm kinda itching to get a few lightweight Yamaha cymbal stands
Re: What are you buying, What's on its way?
592I like finding used stands on craigslist or at my local music shop. Anything double-braced and with the biggest wingnuts available. And booms that DON'T hide away into the lower shaft, because they only go to certain angles. I prefer booms with offset tilters for full 360 degrees of rotation. And fuck anything with plastic.twelvepoint wrote: Thu Dec 01, 2022 12:54 pmWhatcha using these days?

593AEA N22. It was between this, an N8, and a Beyerdynamic M160, but I went with the N22 as I am recording at home and am still figuring out room treatments.
I plan to use it on stringed instruments and vocals, and if it doesn’t work I’ll which gears and find a nice vocal mic and maybe work backwards from there.
I am still kind of struggling with a clean electric guitar sound that works well on its own as in a solo guitar piece. Getting a good sound with it more is forgiving with other elements present. Bass, acoustic, baritone I am pretty happy with. Vocals are another story, as always.

594If this "Clean..." sound is an open back guitar combo, have you tried to put a microphone on the back of the cabinet and hit the "Phase..." switch once that signal gets to the DAW/Board?llllllllllllllllllll wrote: Sat Dec 03, 2022 11:52 am AEA N22.

Re: What are you buying, What's on its way?
595Thank you for mentioning that, that’s a great idea. I just kind of expanded on my issue there in the questions thread. That has worked well in recording situations where I played guitar and someone else was engineering
I haven’t tried that myself, but I have tried amps on and off the ground, tilted back, etc.

596I bought a Warm Audio Jet Phaser for the Rhodes. Probably going to rule.

597Co-worker of mine just got the green tele in - it's great! the fit and finish on it was excellent, it looks amazing - he still leveled the frets but it didn't need much at all.Frankie99 wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 11:36 amMan, I've been kinda in love with the idea of a tele deluxe for a good bit now. A bandmate had one he played through a Bassman RI back in the 90's and I loved that guitar, even tho he abandoned it for an es335 knockoff in the first year we were playing together. Even a standard tele is looking pretty hot to me lately.TylerDeadPine wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 11:08 am %40 specific Squier stuff right now, different deals every day. Pretty crazy

There are some super rad looking guitars on there today for $359. If you're capable of replacing electronics down the road, these could be excellent platforms for fucking around and modding or to leave as is.
The vintage tele in blonde and the Jazzmaster in either blue or white have me wishing I had some cash lying around.
I don't, lol.
The metal pickguard I thought would be one spot they cheaped out and it's really nice.
$360? This is an unbelievable guitar for that money - I just bought the white jazzmaster with the bound neck.
Fender put the prices up but sweetwater still has them at $360

599Anyone want to buy a Jet Phaser? Only used for about 10 minutes.Kniferide wrote: Sat Dec 03, 2022 2:51 pm I bought a Warm Audio Jet Phaser for the Rhodes. Probably going to rule.
Re: What are you buying, What's on its way?
600yeah, the pickguard color with the hardware is a bit of a clash, but the finish looks even better than online imo. The pickguard IS sharp on the edges, definitely would want to knock that down
