It is stereo wiring, meaning that if 2 cables are plugged in, you can send each B22 pickup to it's own amp. And, the brass nut was cutting new depths from those round wounds, so that was replaced with bone, which surprisingly has not worn.yet. The only mods over the years have been new frets (once) from using RotoSound round wounds, but who cares? Frets are cheap. I had my Carvin LB50 bass built for me with delivery in February 1983 and I still have it. It's become my go to guitar over the 4 years since I built it. TheFretwire Mosrite JR kit - Since this is a kit I did a lot of work and mods to it may not be fair to have it on the list but this kit came out excellent. I've never modded it, even keeping the covered gear trapezoid tuners. It's super cheap but sounds and plays very good. It was eventually replaced with more modern modelers and IR cabs but I still use it from time to time.Įpiphone LP Jr - I bought it new at GC in 1998. Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 - I bought this pedal in the 1995 and it was my go to preamp for a little over 20 years. I've considered replacing it with a more modern, feature rich, mixer but it's never been a priority since it works well.īehringer TU300 Chromatic Tuner - Oh noes! A Behringer pedal with a plastic shell! I've had it for about 10 years now, use it every day and it works fine. It needs some repairs now so I don't use it but I'll get it fixed.īehringer Eurorack MX802A mixer - I've had it since the early 00's and it still works great for recording and with a mini-PA. I used it a lot over the years, most often as a power amp for a preamp or modeler. Peavey Bandit 65 - Bought new in 1987, my first real amp since I had only played acoustic previously. but it's really quite good enough for my purposes and I'm very happy with my purchase.Īt the price I paid, I'd give it a 9.5 / 10.I'll mention some stuff I bought new, still like and either I use or used to use often. Maybe it can't compare to a $500 ribbon mic. I hadn't even noticed how tinny and far away other mics sounded in comparison. They aren't very pretty looking microphones but they get the job done.īuild quality seems quite solid, there's no switch or really anything fragile so I could see this holding up to being dropped down stairs and still functioning fine.īefore getting these microphones I was using a low-mid grade Radio Shack microphone, one that is larger, heavier, and higher-end looking than these.Īnd the sound quality of the Digital Reference mics blew it out of the water.Ĭompared to the other mics I had on hand (none very high quality) the Digital Reference mics stood out as being somewhat higher output and much warmer and bassier sounding all around. I noticed immediately that they on the side of smaller and lighter weight, not that you could tell through the sound. They come packaged well, just the microphone and a microphone holder, nothing fancy but effective and low-cost. I haven't yet had these microphones for very long so I'll add to this review later on as I see how they hold up over time. It turned out to be a fantastic decision. I went to Guitar Center planning on buying a Shure SM48-LC or similar microphone - but was recommended the outstanding deal of two Digital Reference DRV100 microphones for $30 and decided to pull the trigger.
