I ordered this with the matching tube head a few months ago. This thing is SUPER bright and thick. It comes loaded with V30 speakers, and those things are SIIIICK. No wonder they are the best speakers around. I couldn't imagine anything sounding better than what I hear from this thing. Sounds really great from the tube head at 16 ohm, also from the POD plugged into the head, and also from a little Laney combo amp I've got lying around with an 8 ohm out. No matter what I plug into this thing, it just sounds great. I HIGHLY recommend this cab!

Yamaha CP300 Stage Piano Review

Yamaha CP300 Stage Piano
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Good piano sound, plays like a real piano, has good choir sound, the string sounds could be better, especially when blending with the piano. And then there are all the MIDI sounds that I didn't realize came with it, and I still haven't gotten to the bottom of all the features.
I like the way the often-used functions are laid out as buttons, that is a good design and a good implementation.

Like all fine instruments, the CP 300 simply begs to be played. Sit down with one, and the instrument becomes an extension of your hands and your musical imagination. The authentic piano voices and rich expressiveness come alive at your touch, and the sound is big enough to blast through a full band onstage - yet nuanced enough to work magic in an intimate club.Yamaha's extensive experience in crafting fine acoustic pianos helps us in creating the ultimate digital pianos. Our advanced Graded Hammer Effect (GHE) action gives all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the top register to the lower - just as on an actual acoustic piano. Which means that you can naturally pound out thunderous low notes with your left hand and let the fingers on your right dance and fly with the high notes.In crafting the authentic sound of the CP series, we used meticulously recorded stereo samples of top-quality instruments, taken at various playing strengths, and included subtle elements such as String Resonance, Stereo Sustain, and even Key-Off Samples that capture the felt dampers muting the piano strings - providing the most authentic sounding and finely nuanced acoustic piano voices possible.The CP stage pianos are also master keyboard controllers that give you full command of your gear. Play and control external tone generators. Assign different voices to different keyboard sections and create multi-textured layers of sound. Four instrument Zones on the CP300 with panel sliders, let you easily tweak the level of each instrument as you play. You can also freely reassign the sliders and wheels to control other sonic characteristics of your gear, such as sound attack, decay, brightness and filter cutoff.The CP300 features professional quality balanced XLR output connectors. These give you the cleanest, clearest noise-free signal - both for serious recording in the studio, and playing onstage where long unbalanced cables may compromise your sound.

EMG Kerry King Humbucking Active Pickup Set, Black Review

EMG Kerry King Humbucking Active Pickup Set, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Quickly delivered, nicely packaged. If you can't install the pick-ups, make sure you hire someone who can - our local music store was a little overwhelmed and broke the PA2 when trying to install it. EMG graciously replaced it for free. Be prepared for a lot of feedback - if you're not use to EMGs, you'll be bothered by the feedback. They work as advertised, but I don't think I'll buy another set of EMGs.

EMG introduces the EMG-KFK Kerry King (Slayer) signature model for 2005. The combination of the EMG-81 and EMG-85 along with the PA2 (20db gain booster) delivers maximum distortion for Kerry and Slayer's bone crushing tones. This is his exact configuration used for live and studio action.

Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 300 Watt Lightweight Bass Amp Review

Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 300 Watt Lightweight Bass Amp
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using this unit for almost over a year now and I am very impressed. I play bass guitar for the Army band and our unit is currently deployed to Afghanistan. I got this head a month or so before we deployed and now that the deployment is almost over I can truly say this little head is for pros on the road! The structure itself is rugged and has put up with being dragged all around AF (not like that were an issue, it weighs next to nothing so it's easy to move and small too!). It has simple controls but they are authentic. 9 times our of 10 a bass amps' EQ has several bands, but it's still a weak EQ, this amps' three knobs and 3 switches (boost/cuts for highs&bass/mid) give you a full range to play around and the tone is pure bass. No filters, no loss of tone when the gain goes up. It will sound like your bass, maybe for the first time!
It also comes with varrying voltage capacity, which especially in Afghanistan (or on the road in general) comes in handy since you don't always know the levels you'll get when you show up for the next gig.
Overall, this head is a solid amp, it does the job and it does it darned well. Get yours today if you live on the road and play bass :)

Rover RB-45P Plectrum Resonator 4 String Banjo Review

Rover RB-45P Plectrum Resonator  4 String Banjo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This 4 string banjo was made in China. I thought I was getting an American made model.It`s pretty to look at but cheep strings & the bridge was missing when I receive it. Also the fret dividers have a sharp feel as you run your hand up & down the neck. Too bad because it was made with somewhat quality materials. I sent this item back. buyer beware.

Martin X Series DX1AE Acoustic-Electric Review

I'm a beginner and was looking for a guitar I could grow into. I did my research and in the end, this guitar was perfect! I've owned it for about a month and it has exceeded my expectations. Others have pointed out disappointment in regards to the guitar's origin (Mexico). No one having done ANY research would be surprised by this. I feel the guitar is held to the same Martin standards as the one built in the states relative to it's price point.

Sennheiser MD421II Dynamic Microphone Review

Sennheiser MD421II Dynamic Microphone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the microphone that sometimes plays
second fiddle in radio stations to the reknown
reigning king of Radio Dynamic mics - the
ElectroVoice ..
I own a dozen very expensive condenser
microphones ranging in the 500 - 3000 dollar range
from AKG, Neumann, Studio Projects, Shure,
Electrovoice and many more ..
but the one microphone, I find myself constantly
reaching for ... especially when using it with web
audio projects which I have to compress and still
retain clarity ... as well as presence ..
It's this time proven German tradition that hasn't
changed much in it's 50 years of production...
And .. unlike the problems with a condenser
microphone where your recording area has to be sound
deadened .. my office is located in an active construction
zone (Ground Zero NYC) ..
The Sennheiser mic beautifully cancels out
the police and fire engine sirens, hydraulic drills
and constant construction pile driving here which
rule out using my other microphones.
My particular mic is over 20 years old and
still used on a daily basis ..
These mics are truly versatile performers and
have earned their reputation as reliable workhorses
that produce a phenomenal and unique sound.
