Instrument of your choice

Triton4 · 29th May 2004, 14:23

If someone had to offer you a musical instrument as a present for birthday or any occasion, what instrument would you wish to get?

I would like to get a Distorted Guitar; though I don't know much about guitars, for some reason I'd really love to play the distorted guitar and become a famous guitarist

What about you?

grumpyBB · 29th May 2004, 23:26

drum set!

MidnightViper88 · 29th May 2004, 23:48

I'm a bassist, so something like like an American Delux Fender P-Bass or Rickenbacker would be damn nice...

I also wanna learn how to play guitar, so a Gibson Les Paul or Explorer would be awsome too...

xenosomething · 30th May 2004, 00:30

piano

Raz · 30th May 2004, 00:44

'55 Les Paul, original sunburst. Oh man.

There are two things you need to know then...

"Gibson Les Paul" and "Marshall JCM800"...

corkhead0 · 30th May 2004, 18:45

A church-sized pipe organ. Those things a worth a small fortune.

Keyboard, since it emulates everything. Then again, I would need Reason...

dram · 27th July 2004, 03:35

viola

CaptainNuss · 27th July 2004, 15:01

Piano as well. All the other stuff in my room would have to go, though.

I've gotta go with my blue and white Fender Stratocaster. If I could marry it, I would

I played one once. My father is a deacon, his wife a pastor, so I had the opportunity to play a church organ once when the church was empty. It has a certain magnitude to it.

Drumset. I think I could do really good on it, I'm always drumming crazy stuff on this keyboard

Oh yes. In fact a church in my old town is currently selling their one for $10,000, which is pretty cheap. It needs fully re-wiring and stuff though, if you actually bought it - they had to cut everything and it's a very old design with many many separate wires.

Failing that, a nice Hammond B3 organ with Lesley speakers. Or just a nice piano.

Yeah, my friend used to play one (he's a good pianist) and he played Toccata and Fugue by Bach on it once. Immense.

Also "Kazoo".

Almost. It's "1959 Gibson Les Paul and Marshall 1959 SLP"

The 800 was an ok amp though, I used to work for Marshall and they never really managed to make an amp that was better than a plexi.

MidnightViper88 · 9th August 2004, 17:02

I'm musically inclined to playing hard rock and metal, so the JCM800 would be my personal pick, but to each their own...

OutlawJim · 9th August 2004, 22:53

i'd say piano, but i gots the best one of those in the world, so ill go with a drum kit

Ione · 10th August 2004, 02:05

A flute, I used to play quite a lot on my mothers.

i'd want a guitar. i don't know how to play but i'd want to learn.

MegaRock · 11th August 2004, 21:39

Gibson Les Paul Air Guitar (the black one).

ryan · 12th August 2004, 10:34

I wouldn't mind having a drum set.

nybergh · 12th August 2004, 13:11

I'd like someone to give me a Gibson Les Paul Jimmy Page signature edition, that is Gibson´s most expensive model ever sold.

Then I´d sell it and buy
1) A decent drum-kit (never too late to become a new Ginger Baker

)

2) A complete Mac and Logic-based recording studio with a good software synth and a big libary of sound effects. Then I'd make soundscapes as a hobby. I'm quite the opposite of "musically talented" (I couldn´t even play the most basic stuff on guitar last year when I had the compulsory music-cource in Upper Secondary School), so that´s pretty much what I´d be able to make of it....

.hXc. · 12th August 2004, 20:06

A mic. Nothing I enjoy more than screaming and going nuts on stage. Too bad my vocals suck.

That's why I bought a guitar. No wait, I bought that before I wanted to be a vocalist. But I suck at guitar too.

If you've got that much money why not get a Protools system? Okay, Logic is cheaper and you don't need the extra hardware, but after using both and talking to a lot of people, I can say that Protools is significantly easier to use and also more of a professional standard.

[edit]Although for MIDI you'd have to get, say, Reason as well, because Protools doesn't have MIDI sequencing. Reason now works directly with the latest Protools as if it was one program though. Logic, on the other hand, does have MIDI stuff, so maybe it wouldn't be such a bad choice.[/edit]

nybergh · 13th August 2004, 05:14

I wouldn't do much with ProTools as it doesn't have a sequencer. But really,I'm not getting a brand new home studio tomorrow or so or even next year. If ever

Cognition · 13th August 2004, 08:00

Yeah, I meant hypothetically, if you'd got that much money from selling your Les Paul.
