The G&L was cheap because it doesn't have a case and it's missing the tremolo arm...and G&L is currently out of stock for this era. I did order a new set of knobs since one is stripped. Also in the bridge position it sounds very thin, but wiring looks ok? In position 2 (bridge and middle) it sounds like you'd expect. I also picked up a Benchmark MPS-420. I have a MPS-400 and I use it a lot, it works great with ribbon microphones in particular, but I want to experiment with the built in mixer for submix some mics to "tape"...although it doesn't have a phase flip which would have been handy for top and bottom microphones. Probably wouldn't' be hard to install them...or just wire some XLRs out of phase 😆 To be clear, I’m stoked for you on a killer deal on a great guitar. Just lamenting more generally that the market under appreciates these guitars. Yeah, I know what you mean. I’ve always wanted a G&L SC-2 but those seem to hold their value a little better

I’ve always wanted a G&L SC-2 but those seem to hold their value a little better I had an S-500 for quite a few years, and man, that thing smoked. It was truly a desert-island guitar for me (as in, it was one of the few guitars I took with me when I moved to a remote island territory for a couple years!). Only real problem was its weight - it was a heavy sucker.

Mojave MA-300 pair. Really nice! Scratches that U67 itch that’s been bothering me. Here’s an example vocal: Little Curse (Onedrive link)I’m up to ten tube mics now, sold off my Townsend Labs Sphere L22 microphones. In particular, the Advanced Audio CM28 pair makes for a great drum room ORTF setup, and the Advanced Audio CM49TLE is an incredible vocal mic. Then of course there’s Chad’s Signal Art Electronics U47 Premium, the centerpiece of my setup (incredible Kick Out mic, in addition to working magic on pretty much any source). Also swapped an K47 “flat” capsule from Arienne Audio into my Advanced Audio CM48t stay, pretty happy with the result: Blue Reno (Onedrive link) I too bought one of the Flat 47 capsules and put it in an Miktek CV4. It's a really good sounding capsule and very inexpensive. Super easy to work with Arienne as well. She's responsive and ships fast. I wish her great success.

Snag a lot of microphones for $100...original Rode NT1, Shure SM58, Shure SM57 and another cheap-o. Going to tinker around with the Rode and might sell the SM57 and SM58 so it'll be "free"...don't really have a use for them

Yeah, I know what you mean. I’ve always wanted a G&L SC-2 but those seem to hold their value a little better I had an sc-3 . It was a little heavier. Man it was a sweet guitar. what made it stand out was it was Bananna yellow in colour. Classic guitar to use in church. I even had the Pastor/Minister say could i find another guitar to use in a different colour. Nope was my response. What a rebel I used to be.

APair of H47 which sound sublime. A bunch of other stuff that is really adding something in the way of synths and vintage drums. More mics. Plug ins etc.

Latest addition to the family. My hardware journey has been AMAZING. Coming from the pre-DJ era, I've been tempted, but could never justify, buying a DJ rig, just to go "wika-wika-wika" until I had satisfied the urge. Then Beck's "Two Turntables and a Microphone" would taunt me anew. Also, remembering how fragile high end phono cartridges and stylii were in the day, I had a natural aversion to pushing one in the wrong direction. But that modern DJ rig looks awesome!

That thing looks great. Reminds me of a Gibson I almost bought from a dude in Fort Hood. Cutaway like that, walnut I think? Can't remember the model but every now and then I regret not buying it. What model is that?

Guy was complaining last night that none of my favorite stage mics sounded like a Studio LDC, well since I’ll have to deal with the SOB again and again I ordered 2 used AT 4054’s from Clair. I mean it’s a handheld with the 4050 capsule! $100 ea.

Why you still pimpin’ that AS? Someone has to. Can you get their banner ad updated? It says something about VCA compression but it shows an 1176. Every time I see it I cringe. And other than that I have nothing but positive associations with AS.
