POWER TO THE PURPLES

[actual]

Can't figure out whether or not I like the midified Rhodes pianos.

That one looks nice (and it's still better than a digital piano).



Have we talked about these G&Ls yet?

Can't figure out whether or not I like the midified Rhodes pianos.

I guess if you're a touring pro, it makes sense to be able to MIDI-slave a synth module with your Rhodes, but it's not something that appeals to me personally. I honestly didn't even notice the MIDI ports, because I was admiring that 'grape sparkle' top.

No it definitely makes sense - I'm just being lame. It goes against simplicity of these instruments, but if you really like the keybed on the Rhodes, then why get another controller.

I WANT THAT.

[rfurtkamp]

I so would want one of these, but...when it costs as much as both my grand ones put together and then some...

[Chankgeez]

That's a nice lookin' Gibson.

I WANT THAT.

YEP, SO DO I.

[rfurtkamp]

Yea, it's also $3400 on...clearance.

If it was $2k I'd have grabbed it instead of my new white one a few weeks back!

[Chankgeez]

If I had that much money, I'd get something full custom.

Here's hoping someone gives you lots of cash for XMAS.

I immediately found that G&L, ouch. Probably a fair price for what it is, but if it had been within a certain budget I might have bought it right now. It does make me really want to do a parts build though. I keep creeping closer and closer to doing a candy/sparkle purple parts build on something, with a single ply black pickguard/knobs/hardware.

Yeah, I think anything I (or anybody else) post(s) in this thread is safely outta my price (Prince?) range.

(Probably because everything is outta my price range.)

Most of what I can swing is through the miracle of managing cash flow and allowing myself one toy at a time on credit.

Unfortunately, my best credit options are direct from a couple retailers, meaning it's something that they have to have or can get.

And only one thing has been purple thusfar in that realm.

Past that, my cap is well under any Gibson I'd buy by a factor of three or four

Normally everything is out of my budget, but I actually managed to sell a piece of gear lately for more than $1k. So I can feel it burning a hole in my PayPal balance. Even though I really need to remodel my basement into a more suitable jam/recording space.
