I've always fancied a pair of KRK's myself but if I had a bit of extra dosh, I'd plump for a set of Mackie 824s.
I haven't been disappinted  Good gear shouldn't take away your beer... I tried to buy KRK RP6 monitors but I couldn't get a pair without build issues. When the second replacements went phut at high volume (nearly giving me a bluey in the process) I decided to call it a day. |

Yesterday, I ordered one of these...  I went to York on Monday (Railway Museum is still awesome after 10 years of absence!) and had a quick widdle on that Microkorg XL I was intending to buy. Didn't like the build quality one bit and my small, fat, stubby fingers didn't go well with the tiny keys. So, I have reverted to my original plan. I should have it sometime next week!  |

Cool... but what about your grant ? Or do you now intend to live outside until next year |

I used to have a bigger sig but Robert kept moaning about it so I have been reduced to this now.  |

Saw this gizmo advertised in SoundOnSound magazine. Don't know if finding a rehearsal space is an issue for the band (prolly harder just to get everyone together these days) but this looks like it could help if noise is a problem...provided that the drummer is using an e-kit (or Handsonic wotsit) and the singer doesn't have to get too shouty. www.jamhub.comNo, it's nothing to do with jam and they don't make a nutellahub...sadly... |

Yeah I've seen similar bits of kit in the past (although not as specialised). They are dead handy if you struggle with good rehearsal facilities.

Cool... but what about your grant ? Or do you now intend to live outside until next year This side of the year smiles particularly kindly on grants and various ammounts of money - it's not long until the next payment! Cue inevitable grumblings about the government and kids who "don't know they're born these days"...  However, I will be saving all forthcoming money (with exception to small doses I set aside for food, rent and Tinyfish at The Peel in April) to get myself one of these hopefully around September time...  Well, either that one or the X6. I need to do quite a bit of research on which one's "better". But anyways! A Fantom will be mine, all miiiiiiiiine! *Evil genious laughter* |

Well, you can see what Mouse has done there, he's simply taken the "in" off "ingenious". Shame English doesn't work that way. But as your splendid link informs us, James, "only a genious can spell 'genious' correctly..." |

Blimey...when I were a student you were lucky if you had enough money to string your guitar! David "Three Strings" Elliott, they used to call me!

So that's what gave Seasick Steve the idea!

He bases vast amounts of his style, from a visual/sartorial perspective, on me  |

I think the Fantom is Jem's weapon of choice onstage, I could be wrong. He always did have a thing for Roland gear.  |
