I've had a month of getting to grips with this and I bloody love it. A good clean first and it's in really good shape. As far as I've found so far everything works. I know it's kind of pretending to be a real keyboard, and most of it is way out of my understanding, but I'm amazed at what this thing can do. I'm still stuck in the early 80s sonically so it's sounds suit me just fine. The pianos and electric pianos are really good, it has it's own versions of most the big names, even other manufacturers trademark sounds, the strings are good too. Loads of sounds I'll never use as well. It has an in depth synth section which seems fairly easy to create your own synth sounds as well as just tweak the onboard ones, and a sequencer, the bits that interested me. It seems that you can use it like a recording desk but I haven't got into that yet. Lots of features like polyphonic aftertouch which baffles me (something to do with midi I think) but hints that Casio must've meant business with this keyboard. I no pianist but the pianos are that good that I've found myself coming up with a lot of new stuff that I never intended to. Anything that inspires you to write new music must be good, right? I've bought far too much gear this year but this is one of the best things, and only twenty quid.

My namesake's husband, I'll have to have a listen. 🙂👍 Lick My Love Pump - Spinal Tap

Whole Lotta (old) Rosie - AC/DC

West Country Boy - The Shirehorses

Me and a Gun - Tori Amos

If they start sectioning vocalists there'll be a lot of nervous looking drummers hiding behind their kits. 😁

Gimme Shelter - Stones

O, M and indeed G! I'd completely forgotten about that song. 😄 Summer Fun - The Barracudas

I might send you a bass just to wipe the smug grin off your face. 😄 Will that count?

I've just ordered the MP-2. Best prices I could find delivered were £54 for the MP-2, and £98 for the Pro. The type of charging port is irrelevant to me and a volume control isn't worth £44. If it turns out to be an annoyance I'll order one of the inline ones. Looking forward to trying it out.

Was that the ebay one? Looks fantastic. 🙂👍

First and Last and Always - Sister of Mercy

This book is on my 'to get' list. I've got a few others to get through first so maybe by the time I'm ready it'll be out in paperback. Me? Tight? Noooo! 😁 Seems as good a time as any to rolling out this old gem. The joy of just jamming with some mates.

Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue

Turn It (off and) On Again - Genesis

Did your not see the tuners then? 😄 I've left the films on as it may well be going back.

Castles Made Of Sand - Jimi Hendrix

The Real Thing - Faith No More

Only a humble Rockbass but here's my Starbass. Bought on here a few weeks ago and I'm very much still in the honeymoon period. It's got a lovely old school growl with the passive electrics. Perfect for some psychedelic/garage rock.

Blasphemous Rumours - Depeche Mode

Orgasm Addict - The Buzzcocks

Hair I Go Again - Archie Bell and The Drells

Italian Leather Sofa - Cake

Woah woah woah hang on there just a minute. Nobody mentioned a league table of shame when they started this thread! Why I oughta. 😄
