Which Nord did you get? I have the Electro since many years back. Sounds awesome through a guitar amplifier or a Leslie. I want the latest Nord Lead.

Great to have you around here more Verbal. Keep posting!

Sorry Phil, I was in Edmonton yesterday.. so Happy Late Birthday!!

Thanks for the ideas Tony. This is what we had on my Dad's old Neon (so glad I don't have to drive that anymore, haha): Konig Unknown http://www.wheelsdirectonline.com/konig/unknown.jpg

Before we got the MR2 I was hoping to put those on it but then looked it up more and noticed the MR2 was a 4 lug rather than 5 lug.. Disappointed a bit but in the future I'm definitely looking to replace them (even more so, because my Dad's shop mechanic dropped the rims on their face and they come out a little bit, scratching them).

I'll definitely take the advice on the black mesh, though. I really like that idea.

Haha, yeah dcash. We had a Car Show at my highschool and I just quickly threw the bumper on in the morning, lol. I usually don't have the bumper on, because I can't get up onto the drive-way and roads here really, really suck, lol.

Oh Miles, lol. It's not really pink. It's actually fairly red when you're sitting in it but looks very pink in any picture I take. Haha no, I wish, lol (have never had one).. Just a friend who snuck in a little picture while I was explaining the mid-engine, lol.

Nose is healing pretty well, too. I can breathe pretty alright through the right.. Still a little difficult through the left. Bruising and swelling has gone down a lot, too.

*edited for spelling/grammar

Man, Roger Federer's days at the top are nearing an end now. Nadal is like a rampaging Bull at the moment.

This one....stage 76. Only difference between this one and the 88 is an octave. But features and tones, etc are exactly the same.

My Roland keeps snapping counter weights, apparently that's a problem with the model.....so I have a section on the one I use for live shows that has keys that won't come back up. I've been transposing it just because it's such a headache getting it fixed.

No more, this bad boy is the shiz.

Thanks everyone. Now I am just old today.

Played golf yesterday - shot a 93. Im pissed that I had a blow up hole on 17 that gave me an 8.

saw a rattlesnake- those are always cool.

93 nice! That's like....a little less than twice your age.

i go after the low hanging fruit

Erik Eleven · Post #71 » by **Erik Eleven** » Fri Aug 1, 2008 3:59 pm

Cool, blix. I have the 73 key predecessor.

It doesn't have the synth engine in it. Yours looks awesome. Are you talking about the A80 (popping counterweights)?

Erik Eleven · Post #72 » by **Erik Eleven** » Fri Aug 1, 2008 4:01 pm

Low hanging fruit, eh? Well, that happens with time. Phil must be as old as I am.

I'm not sure what the name of the counterweight is...but they're in a Roland RD600 - Roland makes a good product, but apparently they fixed this problem on the 700 next year. I've had it for about 10 years and they're starting to drop like flies.....turnaround time here on repairs is about 14 days unless you want to pay to rush the order, plus the way it's been happening, more would probably break the next day.

The Nord stage is sick - it really has everything you'd ever need. I'm a huge tone snob and this thing does the trick.

Nice, Blix.

I have a left nord as well as a right nord and together they are low hanging fruit(boxers)

Seriously- snapping counter weights? You playing black metal on that thing?

blix · Post #76 » by **blix** » Fri Aug 1, 2008 7:16 pm

I run it through distortion and wah, and I do beat the **** out of that thing.....but it really is an issue with this particular model. They went the cheap route on the weights and they just snap - they're fairly easy to fix, just a pain in the ass and time consuming.

I haven't figured out how to tell the wife that I spent 3 grand on a new keyboard though.

Alright, this is very serious guys. For those of you in the music biz..

EE, CC, Blix and any others..

How real does this website look to you: http://goldmindentertainment.zoneout.info/

I'll tell you guys the reason behind my question in a few.

blix · Post #78 » by **blix** » Fri Aug 1, 2008 8:04 pm

what do you mean how real.....as in, does it look like a legit company?

DoctaJ · Post #79 » by **DoctaJ** » Fri Aug 1, 2008 8:07 pm

Yes sir, does it?

They say that they're still working on the website?

blix · Post #80 » by **blix** » Fri Aug 1, 2008 8:11 pm

looks like they are working on it....links for a lot of the stuff aren't active. Hard to tell anything about a company by their website - why exactly?
