  1. I'm sorry but I can't stand spin doctoring and making excuses for anyone, including an entire company, and that's all this is. This company has been mismanaged for a long time while their product line has been overpriced with lesser quality and poor customer service; they had it coming. And I couldn't care less how old the company is; totally irrelevant. PS, I wish their employees no ill will but have absolutely no financial or ethical responsibility to them, so telling me to support this company to help them get along is absurd. PS #2, I am hardly rich myself, so I go where I get the best bang for my buck. If that's a Gibson, great; if not, I'm buying elsewhere, so let's put away the violins. If Gibson wanted more business, they should have managed the company better and made a better product for a better price.
  2. Posted a response but I think it got lost. argh. Anyway, my request would be a 2-parter, for LDCs and dynamics, respectively. My offhand cut on 5 each might go and in no order (this could change tomorrow): LDCs sE X1A (and/or the X1S, but the A is better bang/buck IMO) Behringer C1 (again: bang/buck) MXL 67G (kinda bang/buck but honestly just a great mic regardless) AKG 220 Sennheiser 609 Dynamics Shure 57 Shure 57 Beta (supercardioid) Sennheiser 835 Sennheiser 845 (supercardioid) GLS 58 (once more: bang/buck for the truly cash-strapped)
  3. No comments? Is everyone but me rich? A fine list. I'd love to see you do an under $250 one.
  4. Not sure where this came from, but the fee for the standard copyright registration is still $35.00 if done online. Wise words there. Why people would want to pay some company extra to do what they can do easily themselves I've no idea. This would not surprise me in the least, but I have to wonder if that really is the norm. If you have it copyrighted, it should be an open and shut case. You have the copyright; they don't. Wow sorry to hear that, but glad you got something. Yes but even then I think it has limits i.e. it cannot be passed down forever. I can't say but wouldn't be surprised.
  5. lol exactly - I give up, what is this instrument "coming back" from? It was never exactly mainstream. (Not a criticism, to the hissy fit types...I like the instrument just fine) Well, Hornsby is impressive. The guy is one of a kind, very eclectic and just plain talented as hell. I saw him do a charity show once In Richmond, just him on piano, absolutely blew the keys right off of that piano. Wow.
  6. Do you have any that are just one song? To be honest it's hard for me to get a fix on something with small snippets bouncing from one to another... Anyway, it appears this thread is basically history anyway, so if you have interest (and hope it's OK to post this?), Gearslutz has very active similar threads here: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/song...demos-158.html https://www.gearslutz.com/board/song...-here-183.html
