prodj101 Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 well, I'm getting a new tenor sax for christmas. it's a Keilwerth SX-90, it will be awsome! I'm lookin forward to comparing it to my yanagisawa. even though it's an alto, can stil tell quality easily. they should be pretty close to the same class. the keilwerth should be a a fair amount better though.

jt1stcav Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I wanted a new Roland RS-5 programmable 61-note MIDI keyboard synthesizer for Christmas...alas, I guess I was a bad boy. Anyhoo, I've still got an 1898 Steinway & Sons upright piano to bang on, along with an 1888 ten-stop Estey 2 manual and pedal reed/pump organ. If I get tired of pumping the bellows with my feet, then I can go the 1983 G. Tidwell & Sons 19 rank pipe organ my dad built for the house; the 2 manual and pedal console sits on a moveable dolley, and the entire Great, Swell, and Pedal organs are situated in the 2 car garage encased inside its own chamber (the cars sit outside, natch). The organ can be played on its own console, or can be played digitally through a Devtronics MIDI interface, being driven by a Cakewalk 4.0 "DOS" sequencer (using an old 8088 Window-less computer with a 40 Mhz Intel processor and a 540 MB hard drive); it's much like a player piano, except no paper rolls to install. After recording several live sessions of the pipe organ playing a Bach Prelude and Fugue or Wagner's Tannhauser programmed through the sequencer onto DAT, and then playing the demo tape through my system/Cornwalls...oh what a sound! But I still wanted the Roland, dammit! Maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodj101 Posted January 2, 2003 Author Share Posted January 2, 2003 my music teacher just got a new roland, and he lets me use it to record beats when I feel like it. it's pretty nice. That steinway has to be nice, I like to go hang out in the piano shop and mess with the 60 grand ones, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invidiosulus Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 My current babies are, Fender Jazz Bass: USA made from the 70's with new Seymour Duncan Basslines active pickups. Godin A4 fretless bass: semi-hollow rock maple w/solid western red cedar top, ebony fingerboard. Taylor 310 Acoustic guitar: solid mahagony back/sides, solid spruce top, bound ebony fretboard. Fender American Tele Plus: Bookmatched ash body w/sunburst finish. I play bass alot more than I play guitar but lately I've been listening to music on my klipsch more than I've been playing. Enjoy your instruments Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to see the natural woodgrain is very nice. My Godin bass is a natural matte finish, almost 4 years old and not a nick or scratch on it Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invidiosulus Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I've actually played a few of the spectors at a store back home and they just didn't do it for me. As for a lot of money for a bass, Ha I wish I had a lot of money to spend on basses. All of my instruments were bought while I still lived at home and did not need to pay for things such as food The godin is the one that emptied my wallet the most as it was about $900. About the guitar pickups, my Tele has the lace sensor pickups,(I may have the color designation backwards) a blue single coil at the neck and two red single coil pickups wired as a humbucker with a coiltap switch at the bridge. I think the humbucker in the bridge is a nice sounding option, it can give you a little more "meat" and midrange bite and quack. The coiltap switch on mine is a threeway switch allowing you to pick the coil closest to the neck or the coil closest to the bridge as well as both together like a humbucker. This as well as the regular three way pickup switch(neck, bridge, both) gives me a wide range of tones. Whatever you decide make sure that whoever does the work switching pickups knows what he is doing, G&L's are really nice and it sounds like you have a beauty.

Man, I've seen 6' grand pianos before, but the 6incher must be like one of those toy baby grands that Mini-Me was playing in "The Spy Who Shagged Me!" LOL JasN00b, just playin' with ya...but seriously, I wish I could play the guitar like you. One of my ol' Army buddies back in '81 was the lead singer/guitarist to a punk band called "The Digital Delinquents" out of Atlanta (now defunkt) . Anyhow, I remember him telling me about his "Squire Strat" by Fender(?). It was a beginners guitar, I remember him saying, but it was all he could afford then. The finish was peeling off and the controls were flakey, but he liked the overall tone only because he had obtained his uncle's expensive vintage Marshall tube amp! Back in the early '60's when I was a young lad, my dad played alot of old country/bluegrass tunes on an old 6-string Gibson acoustic he had as a boy...unfortunantly, he lost interest in guitars before I knew any better, and sold the Gibson in '67 when he went off to 'Nam. If he had kept it and encouraged me to play it, maybe today I'd be "pickin' and grinnin'" instead of "tickling the ivories" (which I can't do all that well anyways, but it's fun).
