Someone’s selling a cowpoke Fender Jazz for a bargain price, but I still can’t afford it. Goddamn.

Immediately thought of you when I saw an insta post about this

Played around with the free version of this yesterday: MIKKO2 - ML Sound Lab

Absolutely furious at how much better sounding it is than my current go-to of Pulse + several thousand IRs of all different cabs.

Not 100% on topic I know, but I’m on my school’s PTA and we’re looking to spend a bit on some lighting for a disco we’re running for Halloween, and other disco events throughout the year. It’s a primary school so we’d be talking 3.30-5pm for most events (all in winter at least though) in a big hall with large windows in the ceiling, so they’d need to be pretty bright. Lots of companies online but I have no idea where to start. Any recommendations? We have a few hundred to spend.

Question for the gear wankers? What do you tend to do about recycling / getting rid of old equipment?

I’m thinking of replacing my old MicroKORG (with a Minifreak probs), but I can’t really sell it because there’s a lot about it that’s just knackered now after twelve or so years. Broken keys, a few of the buttons no longer work, etc. Do you use general electronics recycling, or are their specific places that would be interested in having the parts to tinker with?

[leskiv]

I’ve sold a number of piece of old/broken gear on ebay for parts. List it low and see who wants it. This included a microkorg with two broken keys that someone snatched up instantly!

[Butthash]

I do this too but locally. Just recently got rid of a Microkorg in a similar state to yours. I priced it at $100 and was just inundated with messages. Folks love fixing things up I guess

[manches]

Ah ok, intriguing!

@BodyInTheThames

Completely ridiculous sounding things but totally impractical as they took up such a wide frequency spectrum that you couldn’t really fit any other instruments in or around it

you’d barely need anything else, it sounds sick as fuck love this so much, i could listen to it forever

[BodyInTheThames]

I have some recordings somewhere - I’ll see if I can find them

Keyboards (musical not computer)

Thinking of selling my Minilogue XD module; it’s basically mint as it’s sat pretty much unused for about 9 months. Nothing wrong with it - I just haven’t got on with it. They look to go for £350-£400 on ebay/reverb, I’d take £300 (plus shipping; free collection from Cambridge) to cut out the hassle. Any interest?

[BodyInTheThames]

here’s one

it’s just the drum machine recorded dry i think. Mad piece of kit

[andyvine]

yessss crank it and make yer fucking teeth rattle
