I use http://www.harmony-central.com to find used stuff. There are forums there that might be a bit tough to wade through (there used to be *tons* of posts) but you can find just about anything. I found my Kramer aluminum neck (DMZ 2000, http://vintagekramer.com/alum.htm) through Harmony Central, and it just so happened a guy in Columbia saw my post and got ahold of me. He lived literally less than 15 minutes away and I got to see and play the beast before I bought it. Plus they have tons of gear reviews and a lot of info about the vintage synths that I can't afford but still lust after. The coolest piece of gear I own is an Akai Headrush E1. I don't think Akai makes these anymore, but if you can find one, get it. It can do layered looping, delay and has a pretty strange tape echo simulator. It's a totally bizarre piece of equipment, but it can do some crazy stuff. Plugged into an effects loop with a BigMuffPi, using an Ebow and the tape echo/slap back settings on the Akai, you can get some trippy Fripp-esque sounds. Highly recommend. Line6 makes something similar but I can't remember the name of it. I wish I could afford a nice guitar synth package to plug into my GarageBand sessions. But I can't so I'll just stop there ;) ryan woodsmall EMAIL:PROTECTED ________________________________ From: EMAIL:PROTECTED on behalf of Mike Miller Sent: Fri 4/1/2005 8:51 PM To: MLUG discussion Subject: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] guitar stuff... Hey guitarists-- I know there are a few of you out there. Do any of you guys use the Line6 Pod or PodXT series of devices? I'm thinking maybe I'd like PodXT Live. I definitely want something that's usable in live performances, but maybe some of the others are good for live shows too. Or just chime in to tell me what you think is the coolest effects device. Related to this -- are there good places on the web to buy used guitar or music equipment? I mean, other than Ebay. One more question -- are any of you using guitar synths? I had one of the early Roland about 20 years ago and wasn't all that bad, but I'm sure they've made some progress over the years since then. Is it possible to hook up a guitar to a synth without a hex pickup? Do they have hex pickups that can be added to a stock guitar? Any tips most welcome! Mike
