Pandemic gear

[Achtane]

I just bought an Akai MPK Mini mk2.

woo awesome. Those are cute and small. What will you be controlling with it?

I don't know exactly yet
I did just get Ableton though, so hopefully some neat VSTs to follow. Don't really know much about it. I also have some 80s FM synths that I believe can be controlled by it so that might be fun.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Ooo yeah. Ableton and VSTs will be a whole world of fun

[Jwar]

I had stopped buying things but this shit broke me and now I have to grab control again.


This is what I grabbed

Fuzzrocious 420 and Blast Furnace
Fuzzhugger Algal Bloom (70's wallpaper)
DOD Rubberneck
Pladask Bakfram


Doesn't seem like a ton but that ads up...

[cantremember]

I've got up a few pedals (bakfram, dusk, ottobit) but mostly been picking up records before it gets to hot out here to order them . Plus since I'm home all day I've been digging deep on my collection. Listening to music I have either forgot about or haven't had the chance to listen to because I got them during a time when my record player wasn't working has been a lot of fun.

Planned before the pandemic got bad and our lockdown started, but the Pladask Draume happens to have arrived at a time where I have a lot of time to play with it stuck at home...

Tried one more time to glitch my loops, stretch the glitch loop then stretch then loop that glitch into a stretch reverse loop stutter glitch and realized, “This shit is stupid” so right now just dirt and delay.

JAM Delay Llama Xtreme has been really great.

I'm seriously considering jumping for one of those Sandberg Basses they are currently offering from their "warehouse cleanup" sale... Some really odd combinations and prototype finishes get unearthed for reasonably acceptable prices... If one comes up that I can't resist, I probably won't. Even more now since I sold the Squier VI for good money, just waiting for the government restrictions to end so the guy can come pick it up.
Other than that I spent a lot of money today getting a new drill press, some power tools and general tools and workshop equipment... gonna set up the workshop so I can start building teh fun stuffs again

They post the pics and the code on their facebook and you have to contact your local distributor to get the price: https://www.facebook.com/sandbergguitars/
Subscribing to their newsletter also makes sense at these times

I do like the look of some of those

I'm getting a custom 22 fret aluminium neck made for my Pawnshop Bass VI by TTTides Guitars in Luxembourg. But it will take a few months before it's ready.

I've been looking at getting Audulus 3 but it looks like a daunting task to really get into it.

Meanwhile I've been playing my Travis Bean bass a lot through my red stripe Peavey bandit and recording it with an Ev RE20 mic and it sounds way better than expected through this low budget amp.

Also, @vidret: I have a mint condition Acid Age Beast. PM me if you're interested, it's basically a backup for my beat up Earthbound Beast I've had since like 2009 but it's been free of any issues all these years so I could let the pretty one go. It has a black sparkle finish with white lettering.

Been eyeing TTTides for a few months (stumbled upon them after seeing that Feedbacker guitar player uses one of their models) but never had direct contact with someone who has one of those. Curious to hear your opinion once you get it, they look surprisingly cheap compared to other aluminum guitars/basses.

I have also been watching TTTides instagram with covetous thoughts for a few months.
