No children. Not even a dog. This immaculate, mint condition 25 year old baby arrived direct from Japan this morning.
Off to Sham Shui Po buy a 240-100v power transformer. Got to love Ebay with a strong dollar. Financial catastrophe ... bring it on.
One for the geeks.
It's hard enough getting a bandful of damn people playing in time let alone four laptops. Stopping and starting multiple bits of gear on stage while keeping a back-beat / drum machine / clock source running in the gaps (while you load the next song) then restarting everything in synch has always been a complete pain in the arse.

Wire To The Ear - video infoI hope to hell Soundcloud have an answer for this as I find the domain name Band Camp just a bit ... camp and the SC guys seems very good at pushing forward.
Time to expand the collection. I'm having a really hard time finding old / vintage studio equipment in Hong Kong and China ... where the hell did it all go?! Yes – you can buy a lot of vintage stuff from Japan or Ebay ... but there must be local history floating around somewhere.
Am on the look out for pure analogue gear (specifically mono / poly synths and drum machines but also interested in guitar pedals, tape delays and even EQs and compressors) from around the late 70's to early 80's ... pre-1990 at le...Read more
