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:

Hope I like it.

For the typewriter group (link below if curious)
Just got in a half dozen of these for live sound:
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... microphone
We have been using these cheap little electret lapel/lav mics, positioned with little alligator clips right inside the typewriter near the impression area. It’s a good acoustic spot but the little omni mics feedback easily and I think the directional design here will be a big help, and still be positionable.
It’s funny to be “upgrading” to Behringer, but here we are.

Picked up a broken Sunn Alpha Six mixer for cheap. Same 100W output stage and reverb tank as a Beta Lead, but with a deeper sounding reverb, as the tank is being driven harder. Preamps are the same as the Alpha series guitar amps. Sucks as a mic mixer, but sounds great as a guitar pedal platform if you want to do some parallel stuff.
Needed a new fuse holder, and there was a filter capacitor loose and rattling around inside, but I found where it was supposed to be and resoldered it. Looked like a cold solder joint, so I touched up everything else I could access.

I have a scrap Yamaha M916 in the garage and I kinda want to break it out into little 6-8 channel boxes with just pre and eq to direct outs for DAW recording and shit and that form factor would be perfect. I do not know how to do that though so it's just on stand by.
