Bass Culture Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) Hi Folks, I bought this beasty from a fellow BC-er probably about 2 years back with a view a starting my 'difficult first album'. Since then I have recorded precisely nothing and have had to acknowledge that I'm just too bone idle to learn how to use it properly. I've looked at it plenty and have even turned it on from time to time, I've just not progressed to actually plugging something in and recording. Anyway, it deserves to go to someone who's going to make better use of it than me. It's in excellent condition, will be sent in its original box and comes complete with the instruction book (a little dog-earred, admittedly) and power supply. Has more features than you can shake a stick at - on board drums, 'bass' (grrr...), effects etc. I think it originally appealed to me because it records to its own internal hard drive, so no farting about with cards or anything, and has an on board CD rewriter, so it's easy to demo stuff and pass copies on to the rest of the band to learn, for example. Has 16 tracks (obviously) and has an 8 track recording mode in which you can record that number of tracks simultaneously - making live band demos a doddle. Beyond that I'm woefully ill-equipped to provide any more info so forgive me if I link to the Zoom website which will do a much better job of giving you a comprehensive guide to all its features: [url="http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/mrs1608/"]http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/mrs1608/[/url] I also found this link to a review of the studio from Sound on Sound magazine, which might be useful too: [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan05/articles/zoommrs1608.htm"]http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan05/arti...zoommrs1608.htm[/url] As you can see, it's in excellent condition (as it should be seeing as it's been totally unused since I bought it!) and should provide the perfect way of recording rehearsals etc. Or you - like me - might harbour dreams of getting an album together. I just hope you have more success than I did! Looks like they go for about £350 on ebay; I can't remember how much I paid for it so I hope £250 to include postage sounds fair. Thanks, Mark Edited November 2, 2009 by Bass Culture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
