Do you know any hard rock guitarist playing a solid body 6 string guitar using a piezo? Do you know any company selling a solid body 6 string guitar with a piezo? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_%28music_technology%29#Piezoelectric_pickups On Sun, 18 Jan 2015 03:56:08 -0500, Gene Heskett wrote: > Radio Shack in Germany it was named Tandy, but they sold the same brands as Radio Shack did, such as Realistic. Some of the products were made for Realistic, others were 1:1 copies and others were weak fakes. I own a Realistic Concertmate-200, it's a 1:1 copy of the original Casio http://www.crumblenet.co.uk/keyb/vl-1.html . I also own a Realistic SM 58S fake, it's a cheap fake that has absolutely nothing to do with a real SM 58S, http://www.kellaninc.com/ProductImages/02-18-13DSCN6071_1633x1225.jpg OTOH while the sound quality is less good as that of a real Sure, it is as more or less robust as the real Sure. My one is over 30 years old. Including a switch to a microphone is idiotic, I wonder why they faked the version with the switch instead the version without a switch. The first synth we had, for our first band was the http://www.vintagesynth.com/moog/mg1.php owned by Dirk Brauner, the guy who nowadays builds and sells overpriced microphones. It was a special edition build for Tandy. Tandy also sold semiconductor for much too much money, as Conrad in Germany does nowadays. In Germany Tandy was a shop for beginners (children) without experiences, no professional bought something from Tandy. It's similar for Conrad nowadays, just sometimes we buy something from Conrad. I got a cheap laboratory power supply, since it was an end-of-range model and even it's casing alone usually would cost more than the complete power supply did cost. Anyway, in general I dislike to buy from shops such as Radio Shack and Conrad. The tend to rip off the customers. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
