RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

I'm trying not to . Doing that can be very expensive . Then again, I have a few basses and am not in a band ...😹

Yeah, I love that guy . Knows his stuff. That vid was the main reason I got it . i looked at lots of his vids, plus others regarding Moog products . I was looking at the sub 37 which looks great , but too much going on. almost got the minitaur , but it looked like something was missing . The mother has great possibilities , but li thought that this was the one to go for at the end of the day . Lots of you tube clips to keep me enthused ..😸

Yeah , the design is a little marmite ..or tandy , but what attracted me to it was how it's not as complicated as others . Still a lot to learn. Possibilities are endless . No presets, banks or patches . There are a few examples shown , which is a good starting point for absolute beginners .

Oops! I meant minitaur 😸

Howdy! I saw the above on you tube a few months ago, and loved the look and sound of the demos / prentations etc. i know that Moogs are generally expensive ( this being my last musical purchase for some time 😺) . They are often seemed to be investments ,and never really lose their resale value etc. I have had a mess around on their apps ,which are great but the thought of getting one of these has always been at the back of my mind. I looked at the Taurus which is cheaper, but tbh I would rather plug and play at anytime, rather than fiddling around an my Mac . So, the going rate for us in the uk, Is £879.00 . I sent a question to gear 4 music if they could do it for me cheaper,,as I kept getting emails telling me the loyalty discounts I could get as I purchased a few things from them over the last couple of months. The best they would offer ,is £859.00 . So, I thought I'd wait till Black Friday . I sent an email to Moog midweek, asking if they have any Black Friday deals for the grandmother and have not got a response . Fair enough . so, yesterday I looked and found the prices dropped suddenly 😸👍. Well, I say dropped, but g4m are charging £899! 😾 i saw one price that I couldn't ignore £773.52 from Rub a dub . I spoke to them on the phone ,placed order and I have just received it 😸 great service , nice guys 😸👍👍 this morning I noticed g a k are selling it for £749 Tbh, I'm not too bothered , because I figured that the price I got from rub a dub wouldn't last so, that's my early birthday and xmas present . I have no idea how it'll work but it looks great . I'm a total beginner . No slinky though 😿 just a heads up . I know times are hard, but it seems a bargain . Now to plug it in ....

Massi is a great person to do business with. Great communication , and Bass was posted very quickly . If he is buying or selling, be sure of a great transaction .😸

Two things to mention; 1) I found my iPhone 5s box which still has my earphones in unused. What I did this morning was use them , but wth the AKG headphones over them . Brilliant sound , I kid you not 2) this morning , I received 3 new cables . Very quick. 1 was a bit stiff coming out , but they are all good. Splendid . Tomorrow , I will change over to the new AKG headphones ( I only bought them for the lost cord previously ) The present ones are gonna be used for backup

Thanks for that Louis . I was thinking of getting a pair of them. Are they noise reducing ? Just saw them. They look good

Star mangled banner! Truly awful. Was he on drugs ?The first one was better, but still pony. He looks like John McEnroe in that one also,imho

If I was still gigging , the Washburn status would be the 'go to ' bass.

Yes please

Storm troopers of death easy listening / mood music

Mmm.. Not quite Haven't heard anything by them , but they seem to be around for years .

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1460715306' post='3028062'] Sounds like you're getting a bit Moody [/quote] My sister loves them;) too bland for me ( sorry). S.o. D first album is what I could' do with.

Bawling babies ! The main reason for noise cancelling / reducing headphones IMHO

Ordered another cable £6.95. Only because I didn't realise the other cables have to come from Hong Kong . Doh! Tired and slightly hungover . This cable comes from Norwich , so I may not have to wait that long .

Lost yet another cord last night . Must've fell out of my pocket . Annoyed this morning , as I had to listen to people constantly sniffing on the train . So, I managed to find a shop on eBay that sells them and ordered 2. Should get them by weds . Will let you know , how it goes when I get them . Love AKG headphones . The exclusive cord fitting is annoying tho'

I think the people seem to be more noisy than bands these days, ever since Sky Sports was brought into pubs . People are shouting st each other , when only a couple of inches away from each other . I know that doesn't help. Sorry I
