Holy poo poo I love having rich relatives. A package from my uncle just arrived. In it was one of these: Gibson Les Paul Classic, Bullion Gold finish. Plays amazing, sounds gorgeous.

If they do, they usually want an insane amount for shipping. Although I've been considering buying the Beta 2x12 they have for my Beta Lead. But my cash flow is telling me no. http://austin.craigslist.org/msg/246129027.html interesting, just saw that recently and read your post

It is the week of purchasing this week. I won this little baby on ebay this morning for £39 (less than the cost of most 2x2 USB midi interfaces that were for sale). If my memory serves me correctly, these were about £250 when new! Its a pro 8 input/8 output USB midi interface with some pretty good routing options. For the electric violin live looping, I'm starting to midi sync with a lot of external effects. Giving each unit a seperate midi interface (not relying on routing via Midi Thru's) should tidy up some of the BPM glitches I've been receiving. I also have spare outputs to send midi clock code to DJ's/VJ's/etc. And the 8 midi inputs will mean that I can purchase a lot of old Midi triggering hardware to control the software. *SMILING* I also purchased 25 of these babies at a cost of £1.05 each:  The idea is to create my own 25 button USB/Midi pedal board by using the guts of an old Evolution MK425 keyboard... Its certainly a hell of a lot cheaper than the £800 for a Rocktron All access. If I'm successful with this project, I'll post a thread with pics. [EDIT] The seller of the amt-8 emailed me this morning... He decided to test it before posting it, and it was dead... I'm not having much luck with ebay lately

I think my MAS has been placated for now. I intend to. Do you post there? My nick there is the same as it is here. Cool forum although it's so weird when the average age seems to be 45 and over. Definitely a different demographic than I'm used to. When I started thinking about upgrading I thought about Eastman for a little while but my teacher convinced me to look at some indie builders as well and that led to working with Keith. The halfmoon is indeed pretty awesome but I dig the simplicity of the point and it was less expensive.

That's probably the reason I lurk there more then I post (under Rayburn). I've found it be a great resource for information about various topics even if things get really heated there because of everyone is very passionate of their views there. I find they tend to crack down on pretty tame things as well which makes me afraid to post sometimes.

Keith posts there under the name mandolinkgn and I read through a fair bit of his posts to get an idea of what sort of builder he was before I even contacted him. I really think it's the best kind of "marketing" you can do for that kind of thing...it was also very educational. Building instruments is such a cool process.

I love looking at the building forum because I enjoy looking at some of the creativity that is shown off there. I love it when builders try and get away from the OMG IT HAS TO LOOK LIKE A LOAR and try something new with scroll types etc. I have to limit myself to reading that place though because I keep getting the urge to try and learn make my own (I do have enough time on my hands). Eventually I wanna get my hands on a 3 point F4 or something close to it.

I got the pickguard to fit (more or less) but yea, I had to drill new holes for it and shave a little bit off around the neck pocket. I plan to be ordering a neck for it over the holidays. I thought about maybe turning it fretless for a little Rick Danko action

Got my Mini Q-Tron today. It's pretty cool, still figuring out how to get the sounds I want. It gives a weird volume boost when you cut it on, which is a little annoying. But I'm digging it so far.

TR-626 Rhythm Corroder A bent TR-626 Rhythm Composer a friend built for me for a small fee. The box with upward pointing screws on the right side of the machine is a patch bay where connections are made by bridging two or more screws with alligator clips. The results wreck the machine's sound in many beautiful ways, and since multiple bends can be tied together, the combinations are almost unlimited.
