Musicians show your gear

[Puggle]

Impressive collection of gear you have there dj! I looked at a mixer and powered speakers, but I'm in good shape in the non powered speaker department and I need to use what I have. I have had a powered mixer for more than 15 years, and have never had a problem with the peavey I have. What do you find as a negative with a powered mixer?

Powered mixers always scare me. So much to go wrong in 1 bit of hardware. Problems I've had have only been - hot hot mixer, heavy heavy mixer. Often limited feature set and sonic quality because they are aimed towards entry level. Biggest peeve though would by lack of modular(ity?). Not modular, and if you've worked production for a little while, you learn that cutting and pasting gear all over the place in different configurations in essential.

A QSC blew smoke across my stage a few months back, easy fix was to go mono and use the FOH amp to do monitors on 1 channel. Couldn't do that with a powered mixer!

You know, thats why I love this place and you guys. No matter what you have a question about, the org members are always there to help. I took your advice and bought the Peavey unpowered 20 channel mixer with the usb port for recording to the computer, another pair of Peavey speakers with 15" and horn, and a 1600 watt amp to drive the mains I couldn't be happier with the sound. Whisper quiet, no hum or buzzing, an clean clean sound. Thanks all!

Just thought I would post my new synth to this thread. It is a blast to play! It is built to perform rather than recording. Real easy to tweek and sounds awesome through the PA. Any more gear heads out there?

 

[djsin]

wana have some real fun..if that synth does midi...you can run virtual dj or something similar and map the keys to do various tasks on the software...its alot of fun when u can play a note and the video will change or lighting will change etc each time u hit it

 

[Goatkart]

i have amazingly VERY FEW pictures of my gear.... surprised me... thought i had a bunch somewhere..

anyhow, i play upright bass in rockabilly and psychobilly bands etc....

The List:

1 3/4 1970's Englehardt Upright
1 3/4 1910 Carved German Upright

G-K head w/ 4x10 1/2 stack

 

[GSXcite]

Thanks, bought it new in 2001, it had been hanging in the store since it was new, too bad i had to sell my black/green Universe to be able to buy it

 

[Hellfire666]

Nice photos & equipment so far. Keep them coming!

I can't begin to count how many times my gear made extended stays in one of Tulsa's pawn shops as I struggled to support myself while financing my education. I vividly remember three occasions when I was crawling around looking under furniture for pennies & nickels so I could scrape up enough money to buy a can of biscuits for dinner.
At my peak, I had two of these Peavey Butcher half-stacks. 120 tube watts each. Some gigs I'd spread them apart and let the GSP-21PRO provide stereo effects. Sometimes I'd stack them on top of one another if the ceiling was high enough and I had a ladder or chair to use to get the second head on top of the full stack.

One of my half-stacks was sold, along with my B.C. Rich Warlock, to pay for some of my flight lessons back when I was getting my private pilot's license.

The guitar is my 16-year old Ibanez 540s. The second photo has a quarter taped to the side of the body for scale. In some places, the body is thinner than a dime - yet the body is amazingly dense.

The color on this one is SO nice, great guitar too

Two of the 450 S7s located! Nice!
Good to see a lot of Ibanez users around too!

Loves me some Ibanez! Here is my pre lawsuit 70s Les Paul recording copy.

 

[Hectic]

Well, this is a few years old, but its an ok pic of my 5 string and my stack.

I also picked up a sterling 34" scale a few months ago. Pics to come if I feel like it.


BTW, we should have a .org jam band for the next bash!

 

[mountainmotor]

Good topic - I've always had 6 string electrics to make noise with . Newer laptop , i'll find some guitar pics. Vox AC50CP2 with 2-12's and such. Never played in a band. Not good enough.

Anyone been checking out Phil X, Bon Jovi tour and all that ? His general just self being is infectious . Here's Phil being Phil - he's 45yrs old
