No thanks. I'm buying local.

2 x Røde NT2A multipattern large diaphragm condensers.

Those would work, too. I haven't tried them, but Rode has a great reputation. I'm partial to ribbons, but there's plenty of reason to have condensers.
 
Which end (not trying to be a smart ass, just trying to visualize how it goes in the case/bag).

The bridge end. Not sure what the technical term is. The guitar's butt? Doesn't really apply to my Tbird because I have a Hercules stand, so it hangs rather than sits...
 
One day when I am in NYC, I'll break into your place, erase your photos and reset everything on your amp and pedals. Explain that one to the cops - no they didn't take anything, just changed my settings...

Quick! Get an equipment settings rider on your insurance!
 
I have several hundred of my Dad's old slides which predate him meeting my Mum. I have been slowly working on scanning them with the CS9000 (the CS5000 will do them, but the 9000 will do 6 at a time).

A friend has one that will hold a standard (straight, not circular) cartridge and work its way through all slides on board. No clue what they cost. Might see if the local library has one.

Not when you have enough nice ribbons :)

Joking, condensers are nice too :)
 
I dunno. Choose wisely. My wife is a saint, which is probably the main reason she puts up with me.

Mine, too. Wouldn't trade her for anything. Thankfully, she has no interest in trading me, either.
Which is great, because the last thing I want to be doing is dealing with today's dating scene.

Considered a ribbon + LDC, but in the end decided a pair of multipattern LDCs were a more sensible choice on a comparatively limited budget.
 
Exactly what went thru my brain when I read his statement.



Mine are in a straight line, but the lengths are all over the place.

The Korean Rex is a fantastic deal on the used market. It is a LOT of bass for the $$$.

I had a Legend 4X and it was built solid. I replaced all of the electronics with EMG pickups and the SNC preamp. Played and sounded fantastic. I'm sure the US version is nothing short of amazing!

I currently have an epi-frankenbird. Spector tonepump, active EMGs, All parts P neck. I'm trying to get that Spector tone and it's close. (My main bass is a Haz equipped Euro) I have a SNC 3 band pre, and I'm really thinking on pulling the trigger on a Legend 4X. How did your Legend 4X compare to some of your other birds? Neck dive any more of an issue? I like my current bird, but the Epi body is too thin for my SNC pre. I'm also not a fan of the 3 point bridge. So in your mind would the 4X be an upgrade over the Epi-body?
