And as always with new gear, an asking price is just a starting point for negotiation.

I'm really liking a real bass guitar though. I have as much skill playing a bass guitar as any 6 string guitar player has...

but...I am pretty familiar with the used market...
anyway...DZ
didnt think you needed new sounds, ?
Message 11/34 14-Nov-03 @ 12:50 AM - RE: Good deal or what?
Anyhow, I have a pretty good selelction of sounds. Analog modelling (DarkStar), analog (DSI), wavetable (XT), sample/rom (k2000). The only thing missing really is subtractive like an FS1R, or something like that, or a true VA like a Virus. I don't know - I'm open to ideas. This money fell into my lap so I'm thinking it would be fun to get something I normally wouldn't buy. And don't suggest radiation treatment. ;-)
Message 12/34 14-Nov-03 @ 03:48 AM - RE: Good deal or what?
as for what Id suggest?
you already have enough synths, man, and you should be able to get ANY sound out of those...
except a true real bass sound get an old P-Bass

If you're looking for drum synths, make sure you check out the Waldorf Attack. NovaMusik has 'em for $549 and I'm loving mine.

I'm really leaning in the bass direction. I was planning on plugging either directly into the board, or I could go through a ToneFactory as a DI. Also have a RNC for compression. Anyhow, a good friend recommended Fender basses - the precision bass (according to him) has quieter electronics so it would be better for recording. Ultimately, that's the thing I am most interested in - the pickups on my Peavey 6 string (otherwise a REALLY nice guitar) are loud when around ANYTHING electrical. A 9volt battery throws it off.
Anyhow. I'm not really hurting for synthesis, but something that does good kickdrums is important. I don't do well programming my synths for percussives, unfortunately.

as for percussion, well...since youre so paranoid about software...youre missing out on a world of possibility, even if its just sample creation to dump in your ESI

Anyhow - a brand new Fender Bass is on it's way. Can't wait. Heh-heh. What Def Z song masqurading as a dnb track is complete without a little electric bass guitar rolling in the back? ;-)

check it out.
Message 28/34 18-Nov-03 @ 09:23 PM - RE: Good deal or what?
Oh, and DefectorZ - thanks for the heads up. I broke down and ordered the micro modular, I had a fit of gear lust there for a second ;). Now I just have to wait for it to get to the US from Sweden and then from Nova Musik to me. The guy at Nova said probably the end of November or early December. I guess they will be the last 20 micro mods ever made.
The 2 MIDI ins/outs required is kind of weird but makes sense. I actually still have a soundblaster in my comp for soundfonts so I may have to buy one of those MIDI ->Joystick port connections.
Message 29/34 20-Nov-03 @ 07:00 PM - RE: Good deal or what?
Good luck with the bass. I highly recommend you get yourself a SansAmp - it makes a world of difference in the sound you can get out of any bass. An indispensable piece of gear (good on guitar too)

Check out that place. Lots of good folks over there, lots of advice and info, and some SERIOUS players. Noone skimps on passing out good knowledge there. Good luck, and whatever you do, remember that that thing is not a guitar, is not a synth, is not the drums...it is THE BASS. Play bass.
