My old, discontinued FP-9. I found it for 25% of the original list price at a local music store; it's still one of the best keyboards I've ever played (even though there's only a couple features and less than 20 voices).

Orbert · « **Reply #281 on:** July 03, 2011, 05:12:36 PM »

That's cool, though. If you have 88 keys and decent touch and sound, you don't need a lot of features or voices. Sometimes you just want a piano to be a piano, and if you can call up some cheesy brass, strings, or organ, you're set for most any gig.

Pretty old picture, but except for the baritone sax (which I borrowed) and adding a USB keyboard these are still the instruments I'm playing:

I won't make it that easy, but I'll give you some hints.

1. I live in Europe
2. In a country that borders the Northsea
3. I'm currently on holiday in France so I probably won't even notice anything at all

Good luck!

Beautiful. Best sounding PRS SE, IMO. They have them in green now, and they look so damn good.

This is a beautiful guitar. I can only imagine how much better it looks in green

In related news I played a Petrucci Musicman today, and now I really really want to buy one. Unfortunately £2166 is a lot of money for someone who works in a supermarket

I don't know if it's me getting used to 'em, but I used to think Bongos were kinda ugly. But the more I've seen Myung playing his, and seeing this pic, I realize they're actually quite nice. What do they feel like, as opposed to, say, Ibanez or Yamaha? I'll have to try for myself if I come across one.

*SNIP*

What do they feel like, as opposed to, say, Ibanez or Yamaha? I'll have to try for myself if I come across one.

That's how I felt. I wasn't overly into the look of them at first and was leaning towards getting an EMBB Stingray 5HH. A friend of mine was selling this one for far too little and offered to lend it to me to see how I felt.

I can summarize my feelings this way: It's both the best decision and worst decision of your life to play this instrument. Best because it is so amazing. You can feel the quality as you play and the range of tone is unreal. I've never touched an instrument I felt more in tune with. Worst decision because you'll probably find yourself $2000 poorer.

Really though, I expected to think this was a "really nice instrument"... I did not expect it to make my RBX6JM feel like an $8 toy.

(Ok, not really.) I am in love with this bass and cannot get enough of it. Taking it on the road in about 3 weeks and I can't wait to spend a month with it on my shoulder.

My new Godin Summit CT, and my G&L Legacy Special

This is really my new baby, I like everything about it. I play electric guitars since 31 years, went through a lot of them, but only a few that I kept for a long time, a Les Paul Deluxe that I kept from 1980 to 1997, then the G&L Legacy Special from 1997 up to today. All these years I had numerous other ones, all 25.5 scale, humbuckers, single coil, mix of them.

I don't know why, a few months ago I wanted to look for a 24.75 scale again, spent too many hours in different guitar shops, but as soon as I tried this one, I knew this was it.

Unplugged she was singing almost as loud as an acoustic, at least like an archtop, the neck is one of the most comfortable that I've tried and is very fast, I like that ebony finger board, also the bridge is recessed, and incredibly low, nice feature, it plays effortlessly. I think it is the first time in my life I can say that I can play 3 hours in a row without any pain. I also tried their new Icon series, but I felt they were not comfortable as this one, didn't like the finish on the neck (gloss as opposed to satin), and were not resonating like the Summit.

The SD '59 at bridge and Alnico 2 pro at neck (a nice choice) with a 5-way switch (position 2 & 4 in coil split) is making it very versitile, plus the High-Definition Revoicer button, that turns the pickups active, well you then have 10 different configurations. It has the beefy sound of an LP, but with more definition ( I don't know, may be because of that nicely executed bolt-on neck?). The lows are tight, the mids are really nice, and the highs quite snappy. Can do everything amazingly; Metal, Rock, blues, Jazz even Tele twang. I already have a floating bridge on my other one, wanted this one to be fixed, I like the string through body, stay always in tune.

Everything about it is quality, nice wood selection (Honduras Mahogany body and neck, ebony fretboard, nice flamed carved maple top), good hardware, tusq nut, Schaller strap locks..., the back body contours are well studied and the weight is perfectly balanced.

I don't know what to say more, at their price these Canadian/American made are a steal, they come with a paper having the signature of everyone who touched the guitar during the different steps.
