What new booty have you acquired? (Page 23 of 189)

I wouldn't pay 20k for the configuration you did mention.
And Synthesizers.com is nice but not that exciting.

The System 700 is great but 20K is to much paid i think.
My buddy got one together with my old Moog modular,
They are kinda from the same league but the Moog just sounds cooler imho.
But the 700 is much better designed with cv control etc but the filters are not that cool.
And both the 700 and Moog got bad VCA's.

look at steak and peters

Craigs.
Got if from a very nice gentleman in the burbs who had it locked away for 20 years. He also had a polymoog for grabs but that turned into a bidding war and my friend and I barley had the funds for the P5.
Looks almost new, only problem is that the top 5 keys only work some of the time.
My previous experience with analog gear gave me no frame of reference for the sonic capabilities of this thing. Full, clean and powerful across every frequency. Honestly, I was planning on reselling it to buy more gear until I actually played it. Now I just have to sell some things to dig myself out of the debt, and maybe even get that retrofit.

P.S Anyone know why the cv/gate inputs are so quiet with a kenton prosolo?

All these new gear acquisitions are making me jealous. Got this at the end of last year for a very reasonable price, even has the hex pick up and foot pedal.
and one of these babies, fully loaded but missing its sides and the volume knob. Thinking about making some nice wooden sides for it. 

Wow Honey Peters, congrats on the P5, It's hard to get rid of gear that sounds this nice!

Thanks. I got it from the VSE forum, this kid was selling it (it was his uncle's who was in some 70s rock band I can't remember the name of) and he was based near me in London so I only had to pick it up from his dad. Its pretty sweet, like an oversized odyssey module.

kind of funny on vintage synth they claim the avatar almost sunk the company. looks pretty awesome, esp since you can use it with both guitars and synths.

@honey peters, hilarious about the dan-o bass! haha, i can relate cause i bought one of those dan-o guitars in high school, so crappy. (tho i still have my nifty fifty amp, that thing is great!)

the bass is supposed to have EMG pickups, but they are ''Johnson EMG'''s. not sure if this means they are cheap copies or the real thing, but it plays nice.. of course i have not much to compare it to.. i can already play several new order and joy division basslines too, heh heh..

i was at saint eric's this weekend to deliver my poor arp axxe, and saw he had 3 avatars there.. nice machines!

hm, i never actually thought about the fact they could be better.. i was pleasantly surprised by the bass, it was cheap (150 euro, incl shipping from the UK and came in a very nice hard flightcase) but it plays well, has a very good finish and knobs, not at all like cheapo guitars i remember from the past. i'm still trying what the best way is to get that typical fretless singing sound out of it, but it already does the job now. my ultimate goals would be the sound of mick karn from japan/dalis car era, its funny that most fretless bass players use jaco pastorius as a reference but i don't like most of the stuff he did at all..though some is amazing.

i guess as a big new order/ jd fan and collector, for me it was natural to play these lines because i know them all so well. and they are easy.. there are some that use 90% open strings. but there's no way i can keep them up for 5 minutes though, especially not in a normal tempo..
have to try cure-lines though, thanks for the tip!

yes, he told me the same thing when we were talking about the avatars.. apparantly there is some part in there responsible for the guitar pickup stuff, that isnt made anymore and goes bad on all of them, 100% guaranteed..
