Things I want to buy…. yes…. a topic I think about an awful lot. Browsing sites, book marking, pricing, reading reviews, drooling, covetting….you get the idea. Do need all these things….? most likely the answer is no… would they be cool to have? Boy howdy would they!
I just want to make a list to get it out there..throw it into the universe, there were times when I would just write in my little red and black dollar store notebook that I would carry around all the things I “needed” to get.
But this is the 21st century. And if I can’t have a flying car or jetpack…. this will be one of the perks.
in no particular order…..
1. A Roland sonic cell…… it’s a sound module that can play midi files and mp3s (for live solo shows with backing tracks.), it’s also an audio interface…. and it’s a cool looking thing… think a cool keyboard rack meets the monolith from 2001. (I did say 21st century…right?)
2. replacement necks for a few of my guitars….. I have a strat with what I consider to be a half cut broom handle, a tele with the most beautiful, unplayable neck I’ve ever come across, and a charvel that I ..well, let’s say, I didn’t really understand how a truss rod worked. So..warmoth.com, look out.
3. clothes…. not really my thing normally, but I’m still wearing stuff from who knows how many years ago, and I really need some snazzy gig stuff. no idea what I want..but I want some hipster doofus clothes. I may need help.
4. a music pad pro… a digital music stand..so I don’t have lug around this binder full of lyrics….and waste all this paper. (back to the 21st century thing..right?). we can put a man on the moon, but we can’t have a digital tablet that can hold all your charts and lyrics…., they have that? very cool…. enter music pad pro plus,….and they are out of stock of their own product. (GREAT planning and thinking guys….. )
5. a new amp. I’m done with solid state..and although I love my tech 21 trademark 60…(hey, Les Paul used it for his weekly new york gigs.), I want tubes..sweet, sweet tubes….that I can over ride and pump some sweet stomp boxes in….
6. some sweet stomp boxes. Kidding….I have enough right now.
7. (or really 6 if you’re picky..but we’ll move on.) a big ass Tv. like…some in the 50 inchers. something flat….. something that gives off heat. I’m thinking an LG or an Aquos. we’ll see.
8. a new computer… sorry, not a mac. But a really ridiculously fast pc, with a huge hard drive that I’ll never fill up, but can always think “wow, that’s a big hard drive”
9. I can’t think of anything more right now….and I have to make dinner. sigh.
….no..no..9. a new scanner…..
guitar, recording….music in general. Not bad…… (getting the feeling back in my finger tips again…). Had a nice trip out to Cape Breton. Saw where I used to live in 1978, went to Fort Louisbourg…..I’ll have to sift through some pictures.
