Great Sound!

Die Gitarre ist von 1981 und kostete damals 281,00 DM. Seitdem hat es sich bezahlt gemacht, dass sie einen Mahagoni-Hals hat, der sich bis heute keinen Millimeter verzogen hat. Auch nach Monaten der Abstinenz hole ich die Gitarre aus dem Koffer und muss sie noch nicht mal nachstimmen (zuletzt waren es mal drei Jahre!) Das Einzige, was ihr fehlt, ist ein ordentliches Tonabnehmersystem. Ich habe mal vor vielen Jahren eines der ersten Piez-System unter der Brücke eingebaut; es tut seine Arbeit, aber heutzutage gibt es bessere.

My Blues Guitar and Gretsch-Backup

A very good low budget copy of the Gibson ES-335 with a warm Sound and a rich sustain. A perfect backup on stage.

Großartiges Artist Model der SG

Ich spiele dieses Gitarre seit Anfang 2022. Sie ist das, was man von einer SG mit drei Tonabnehmern erwartet: brachial! Die drei Burstbucker sind und die Maestro Vibrola sind ein echter Hingucker, ebenso das Split-Diamond-lLogo und die gesamt Gold-Hardware zusammen mit der Ebony-Lackierung. Diese Schönheit kommt aus Tennessee, USA und wurde werkseitig hervorangen eingestellt; ein Setup zum träumen. Im Stil der bekannten Custom Shop Modelle ist diese SG im Preis- Leistungsverhältnis jedoch nicht zu schlagen.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Einfacher geht nicht!

Wir verwenden drei dieser Geräte für unser Live-rack und splitten damit vor dem SOUNDCRAFT Ui24R Mixer die eingehenden Signale um auf der Bühne ein eigenes IEM mischen zu können; der abgeplittete weg geht an's FoH.

A real JAGUAR!

Made in China, but with excellent craftsmanship. Two P90 pickups provide a solid sound with emphasis on the mid and high frequencies. 3-way switch – that's all you need. Volume and tone controls work perfectly. The body and neck are very well balanced, and the guitar is neither top-heavy nor bottom-heavy.

One pedal that makes the difference!

I used to think that the more “landmines” a guitarist had in front of him on stage, the better he was... OK, that's complete nonsense, of course, but nevertheless, that idea stuck in my head for many years. Well, with this Quad Cortex from NEURAL, the Finns have shown us how it's done, and I think they've done an excellent job! Everything can always be improved, and there are still a few areas here that could be tweaked, but all in all, I don't really need any other device to create my sounds! The standard presets, combined with all the free downloads from the QC community and, if you like, a plug-in or two, are more than enough to generate great sounds across all genres and save them in playlists. Besides the QC, my pedalboard only has a wireless receiver, a permanently displaying tuner, an expression pedal, and the MIDI remote control from Luminite. That's it!

Greatest HAMMOND clone!

The best clone to a HAMMOND organ; take a LESLIE and you will get an extraordinary sound, so close to the origin!

... for home-, beach- or caravan-practicing.

The battery-powered Micro-SpideR is a powerful mini-amplifier for many occasions you didn't expect before... like practicing in a mobile home or jam sessions on the beach. This is really a little volume monster! Four preset sounds: - CLEAN - CRUNCH - METAL - INSANE 1-Channel with Drive / Bass / Mid / Treble / Channel-Vol. / Master-Vol. and - Chorus/Flange/Phaser/Tremolo -selection & trim - Sweep echo/Tape echo/Reverb -selection & trim - echo-tap - Microphone input and trim - Tuner - AUX-input for play-alongs - Phones/Record-out

Low budget Bass for the beach

... just an acoustic bass, that makes no difference, but: You will like it to take it with you to the beach's jam sessions :-)

Greatest Bass ever!

I bought it in 1996 in the music store 'Kunz' in Düsseldorf (Germany). The widow of a deceased dance band bassist had given him on commission. The price was 1.250 DM (approx. 620 €), including Fender hardcase and original Fender US owner's license. It was played by me on many stages for more than 15 years; now the bass is retired and only used in the studio. The bass has a really outstanding sustain and I've hardly ever seen a Precision Bass that comes close. Together with my AMPEG B2 (1x15") and its active equalization I won't even notice that it "only" has a split-coil pickup - I don't miss anything! This Bass is in a very good condition, serviced by a regional luthier and without any dings and dongs! Today these rare instruments are traded above 3.500 €/3.800 $

Great Hollow - fair pricing!

I bought this guitar in 2016, the price without the case was about 950 €. The guitar came in a very good fine factory-tuning and could be played very well from the beginning. A very fast fretboard, despite the high gloss finish - but a matte finish would not fit to such a hollow-body! All in all the 5422 TG in "walnut-stain" (WS) version is an excellent and well-balanced semi-acoustic with the typical country sound of a Gretsch! .. looks a little bit like the great brother "Country Gentlemen" The absolute highlight is, of course, the gold hardware and the huge Bigsby tremolo, which by the way is very tonally stable. It belongs rightfully to the middle class of hollow-body guitars.

Classic analog synthesizer from 1981

The KORG Poly 61 is one of the first polyphonic synthesizers in the history of electronic music. It impresses with the sonorously dynamic synth sounds of the 80s. This synth has been used in many internationally successful productions. With its digitally storable soundbanks it offers a wide range of applications for the lover of vintage analog keyboard sounds. On stage it impresses with its easy handling. Retrofitted with MIDI or in the factory equipped version with MIDI it is also a very interesting sound supplier within the wide synthesizer family.
