Satriani fan?

mloc

i just knew someone was gonna say that! yeah... maybe a little. the ultimate octave is nice tho twas kinda hard to get hold of.

feylya

I can imagine it was. I don't think I've ever seen it for sale anywhere or even a review of it.

mloc

i got it from musictoyz.com in the US with a load of other pedals. I managed to get the ds1 brand new for €20 from thier site thanks to some kind of error. actually for interesting effects and the like its a pretty good site. I would love the fulltone chorus/flanger pedal, all ive heard are good things.

feylya

I've heard really bad things about musictoyz.com Orders being "misplaced", emails not being replied to, money being taken from credit cards and no orders appearing.

mloc

well to be honest i ordered from them while they were moving premises, and that caused a little trouble. i did have to ring them once or twice to get it sorted, but the stuff eventually arrived. and the best thing was for some reason i wasnt charged VAT or duty on the import. brilliant!

feylya

Cool. Just having a look at the site now. What are the shipping costs like?

mloc

as far as i can remember they were reasonable, i ordered about 18 months ago. i ordered 4 pedals, it was about 40 dollars or so, but the ordered totalled around 420 so it wasnt taht much. the fulltone cost around 200 dollars, and they sent the other pedals first (e.g. in two deliveries = more expensive) because the fulltone wasnt in stock.

feylya

Hmm, definately some interesting stuff on that site. Not a great selection of guitars though.

mloc

nope tis mostly just effects and stuff. for more kinda boutique-y effects, try tonepilot.com. i dunno if that one delivers to ireland tho.

Doctor J

tis interesting to see most folks have more than one kind of instrument... there's a lot more people who play drums as a second or third instrument than I would have guessed...

The Smircher

I've just received an AKG WMS40GB from thomann.de

Very very nice piece of kit, can't wait to get on stage with it.

If you play with a band behind you or playing in a band, it's a huge benefit to be able to play, to some degree, all of the intsruments being used. Gives you a better feel for things...

Doc, I'm suprised by the number of would be drummers too...but having said that...they're so much bloody fun...

Doctor J

Aye, I'm one of them. I was playing drums in a band for about 6 months last year. Great fun but just got fed up, the bastids wouldn't give me a hand carrying gear onto and off stages... miserable lazy ******** ***** **** ******* ******* ********* ******

Always be nice to your drummer and help them carry their stuff, that's what I learned

The Smircher

I can fart around on most instruments, but I'd only claim to be able to play one really well. It's my baby and I've been playing this particular model for 16 years now. It's due a service fairly shortly though. There are better models out there, but y'know I'm become so accustomed to mine that I'd find it hard to change.

Doctor J

Waiting for this to be delivered - only €326

mr_angry

I still find myself playing drums, guitar, and singing. Play a little bass now and again, but nothing resembling talent!

Sometimes I think I want to drum, sometimes I think I want to be a singer, and sometimes I think I'd be best sticking to what I'm good at - guitar. The problem is that I don't know any like-minded individuals to back-up my guitar-playing, and so I always end up alternating between the three. Sad really.

mloc

i just got a brand new gibson les paul standard in heritage cherry sunburst... and its so nice it makes the cows go moo.

Doctor J

thats my 2nd kit
bright orange
looks a bit crap from the angle though

Töpher

Please tell me thats some kind of fan, and not a heater beside your kit!!! :rolleyes:

Doctor J

Not everybody beats the traps like they're trying to bust open a particularily stubborn can of baked beans, O'Shaunessy

Töpher

It's the only way to play!

Hehe, I've been working on reducing the force (where required).

quank

yep tis a heater:o

turn it off when im playing though... obviously..... *cough* :rolleyes:

Don1

Already gave a list here but decided to post pics aswell.

Don1

Dunno how to put in two pics.

Doctor J

Damn customs want to charge me €77.81 for my new 5 string :dunno:



Bastids!

Zoton

Is that VAT or customs and excise duty or both? Originate from US of A?

Doctor J

It is €58.39 VAT, €9.92 duty and €9.50 Customs clearance fee. Still, less than €400 total for a G&L 5 string Mustn't grumble.

Edit -> yeah, from the states, I went with US postal service instead of UPS or FedEx, much cheaper, but slower. Got it from www.topshelfmusic.com - the guy I was dealing with, Scott, even threw in a Fender hard case for free Sweet.
