Aguilar OBP3 is my favorite pre at the mo, got one in my sadowsky and might be putting one in my Spector

[quote name='Viajero' post='256320' date='Aug 6 2008, 02:38 PM']When travelling, waiting for cast members etc, it's nice to do some transciption to keep the musical mind ticking over. I'm not great at it, but feel great when I get something written out all purdy-like. Thing is, I don't have perfect pitch, so I need something to give me notes while I do it. The bass is ideal, but if I'm on a train it's no good. So, what can I carry around in my bag that will give me notes? Perhaps a Stylophone? You can pick them up for 15 quid or so, it seems. Does anyone know if they can do chords? If, as I suspect, this idea is very flawed, can anyone suggest another small note-making device?[/quote] Sorry mate, it can't do chords. Just got one for my birthday, realy enjoyed anoying every one with my Specials renditions on it! Have you thought about an old Yamaha QY20?

It's a silver one and there's a dish on the front of the house about 10ft up if you want it. Lee

I was quizzing him about the US ones and they have just one left with a redwood top @ £799 but that's Divorce City Arizona so I must resist. Can't see this affecting resale values in the long term but I doubt I'd get the £450 I paid for the Rebop 5DLX FM two weeks ago back if I tried to sell it now (no chance). Que sera - you win a few and you lose a few.[/quote] How depressed am I, you don't want to know what I paid for my NS4

Nice mate, better wood than the one they have in Leicester (that's full price!). Lee

You get 2k worth of cover + public liability now through the union, this can work out well depending on how much you make a year from music. Home insurance is a dodgy one if you make part or all of your living through music, also check the single article limit. Not all insurance is equal even policies underwritten by the same company. When I had my studio stuff stolen I had a back up HDD of all my work.....next to the Mac, so they stole that to!

I had my SR4, Incase and protools stolen 18 months ago, gutting experiance and as it's how I make my living really difficult while the insurance paid out. Moderators; would it be possible to have a stolen gear thread so members can keep an eye out for stolen gear? I would be more than happy to do the admin for it if it helps. Lee
