View Full Version : Recent Purchases & future purchases
I know there is already a thread for this kinda stuff in the Off Topic area, but this is for stuff like Guitars, Amps and strings etc. All to do with Musical equipment/PA gear etc. You get the drift.
I just put in an order for this Technics mixer at work. Seeing the old Phonic DJ mixer is on the way out.

i just got 2 sm57's from singapore, i let my friend borrow one cause i have no other use for it lol, but i had to buy 2 in the deal.
i think i'll get some sort of band together (sometime in the distant future) before i start buying stage equipment
the sm57's you got. Have you used them yet? if so what did they sound like?
Because I know a few people who bought some from singapore and were really disappointed in them. Bad sound, very tinny etc. Mainly because they didnt use real Shure inserts, just cheap ones, to keep the prices down

it was a definitely big upgrade from what i was using before, i'm no audio expert, but they sound alright to me.

There have been reports of counterfeit SM-57's coming out of Asia. If you got it from a reputable dealer im sure you will be ok. If you are worried about it, I've heard Jands in Mascot can verify whether its authentic or not. I dunno though... if it sounds good I wouldn't worry. Did they come properly boxed with zipper bags and shure stamped mic clips?
As far as recent purchases... all quiet on the western front. Im still waiting for my Egnater M4 that I ordered in May. almost 5 months :mad:

yeah, shure mic clip, zip bag, warranty thingo and documentation, shure cable tie, shure sticker, in a retail box.
box was a little crumpled, but that's about as good as airmail gets these days.

G'day all
I havnt been playing guitar for a great deal of time (about a year)
and i think its about time for me to upgrade my guitar.
Im looking at an Epiphone SG G-400.
I was just wondering what people think of it
Let me know please
Thanks
I guess it's a future purchase, though probably a long way in the future as I have barely any money at the moment, I'm saving up for:

A Slap King with pickups and adjustable bridge
Plus a totally awesome case:

oh by the way, you could've gotten another guitar like that one, except in red (which i think looks better) for a few hundred dollars cheaper
Sabbz
10-02-2006, 10:36 PM
nah, i didn't really like the red that much. Cheaper though? This is $750 cheaper than what i would buy in stores. Postage was $50.

lol thanks for that
hmmm...let's see...i bought a new green Pearl Forum Series drum set with Zledgian (sp?? I'm a guitarist, give me a break!) cymbals, some no name bass that sounds good so that's all that matters to the elists bastards here with a 30w Ibanez amp, an ibanez classical, a 55 Shure mic, Boss Bluesbreaker pedal, and i think that's about it...
i do alot of solo performances, so a Fender Acoustasonic SFX 80 watt is on the top of my list. I haven't had a chance to play them, but a friend owns an Ibanez acoustic amp and he highly recommends it. any feedback would be great. new is a Takamine Classic/electric, but i gotta shop around for the right one. I'm gonna be selling some old equipment and buy an original Fender Super Reverb with the money. and finally, i want to buy back my SSUGR Gretsch guitar!

Hate to dredge up an old thread, but it saves starting a new one, maybe it will re-invigorate this one!
My last purchase was an SM87. It's a condenser for vocals, but works well on snare. A producer I previously recorded for uses one and recommended it. It has a much higher frequency range than the duller SM57. Managed to get it £100 cheaper from the US than it is new in the UK, just have to see how the import fee comes out.

They look MUCH better in the flesh than they do in pictures I've decided. Saw some in Gallins a few weeks back and they looked cool. I still think the Orange ones are cooler than cool so that's the way I'd go, but can totes understand the allure of the black ones too.

its not so much the allure of the black one.. i just dont really want an orange one :p

But even if he get's to the point where his shit is set up and he is ABLE to build things again... that would be exciting!
He's not that cool, promised me he would return to the forums and then didn't :( That makes Joab a sad panda. He just has so much to contribute!
