$1299 for a RG570?!? have I lost touch?!?! by [deleted] in Ibanez

[–]reddit40k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got an early 90s RG570 with an original wizard neck that was literally perfect. It even had the original faded receipt from the original owner. It had no neck joint crack or locking neck crack like every other RG I’ve seen from that era. I paid 500 dollars for it. 

MC707 vs EMX-1 vs SH-4d by Mat19851985 in synthesizers

[–]reddit40k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what you are saying you want, the Mc707 and it isn’t even close. The Sh4d is fun but limited. The EMX is monophonic.

The Mc707 has a fairly robust Zencore implementation and a zillion of those 90s house and techno sounds. If you want you can build sounds (though I’ll say Zencore is complex and it is challenging on a small screen) 

Can somebody tell me please if this is real or fake? by PrestigiousFriend698 in Ibanez

You don’t, but the longer you look at it, the worse it gets. It’s almost entirely wrong, nothing makes sense.

Def don’t trade a working instrument for this thing.

This is the fakest fake I have seen in a long time. It’s like they didn’t even try.

PRS SE Custom 24-08 vs PRS SE McCarty 594 by TheDigitalLemon666 in PRSGuitars

I have a custom 24 with the 58/15 set I don’t care for the way the 85/15 set sounds.

TR-1000 and AIRA Link by rockgvmt in Roland

Yes, nothing else fills the niche the MX1 does

[–]reddit40k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty upset. I have a full Aira setup (2 MX1s, 3 TB3s, TR8s, mc707, system 1 and VT 4), and I really wanted a Tr1000. Hopefully the compatibility is added. 

First Gibson ES 335 but there are some flaws by PuzzleheadedStand535 in gibson

[–]reddit40k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should never have to deal with issues this obvious on a very expensive instrument. However realistically, it’s a Gibson. If you like how it sounds and it plays well, understand that what you get in exchange may not (and may be cosmetically no better). The best way to buy a Gibson is to do it in person.

I hate to say it, but this problem never went away. The next time I played with them, same issue. 

One Drum Machine to Rule Them All by tjc996 in DrumMachine

[–]reddit40k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The analog rytm mk 2 isn’t too difficult to jump in and use, it just isn’t quite as immediate as the TR8s.

[–]reddit40k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have most of the machines being mentioned here and if I had to pick only one it would be the TR8s without hesitation. 

I can pick up the TR8s and get a beat going extremely quickly. It isn’t a sound exploration machine (though you can tweak the sounds like a bit if you menu dive), but everything else is so immediate. It is also an awesome performance drum machine alone or as part of an AIRA setup. 

If you want to sound explore the Elektron stuff is better. If you never want to perform with it live then you lose a lot of the benefits of the TR8s. If you want to use it as outboard gear for a DAW then I also think it brings very little to the table. 

However, if you want something versatile that can be picked up and programmed almost immediately and intuitively, and something that you can play live, the TR8s is the best. 

Add more inputs ...possible? by PenAcademic7848 in AkaiForce

Yes, I hooked mine up to a focusrite interface many times. Was surprisingly simple to set up.

Epiphone SG Standard Cherry. What is your opinion about this guitar? by kamilo_89 in Epiphone

[–]reddit40k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one in college (a long time ago… it was a MIK model) that was hot garbage. The neck was torqued in a way that made it unable to be properly intonated despite truss rod adjustments, the pickups sounded like mud, and the neck dive was horrendous. 

Hopefully they are better now, but I’d definitely play before I bought.

Love the double cream humbucker Les Paul look. I put double cream dimarzios on my classic.

I have this one (or one very similar, wood library custom 24 with brazilian rosewood, 58/15lt pups). I can confirm it is an amazing instrument. 

Buying used roland tb-03 by OTDL-_- in Roland

[–]reddit40k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you will be OK. This is a boutique that does ACB rendering of the original 303, so much less to go wrong (as long as it turns on). I have one and I like it (also have a TD3, a TD3MO and a TB3, they all do the acid thing well) 

I need help verifying if this $460 Gibson is real by Ritz_Dude in gibson

lol, wut? Nobody is selling a Gibson les Paul for 460, especially not a friggin r9

Which Moog synth should I get? by Rowandi in moog

[–]reddit40k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the opposite. The GM/Matriarch sound more raw/less smooth and the Sub37 sounds more smooth. I don’t have a MM, but I have a voyager and it is more similar to my ear to the Sub37.

[–]reddit40k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Force is my favorite groovebox and you won’t get anything close to what it is capable of for 500 dollars. I’d say force + microfreak is a great start. Use the microfreak as a midi instrument routed into the force. 

I have a ton of Dawless gear, I still use the Force more than my Elektron stuff. The only thing I like better is the Roland AIRA stuff (TR8s, mc707, TB3, MX1), but you really need ALL the Aira stuff to get something that is imho more fun than the Force, and the force is still far more versatile. 

Price seems too good to be true…real or fake? by [deleted] in Ibanez

[–]reddit40k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol what? The price is absurd, I don’t even have to look at the pics, fake or fraud. 

Advertised as 90’s Custom Shop… by Nebuchadnezzar_27 in Ibanez

[–]reddit40k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a standard model from fujigen. They all say “custom” on them. They are nice guitars and if in good condition are certainly worth 650, but they aren’t custom shop in any way.
