Subject:OT.....GAS is striking!

Anybody here getting hit with the new gear bug????? What a surprise to find I am huh? HA!~

But it's true. While I've been waffling about getting another NordStage, after seeing someone's live performance video featuring said Stage, I realized immediately why I had let go of the 3 I've owned. (Thank Jah for ebay and 30day return policies; I returned one on the 29th day, and sold the other two for $50 more than I paid for 'em.) It's a great instrument in so many ways, but just not a great fit for me.

One instrument that's getting me excited is the Prophet '08. We've been talking about it on another forum, and a few members already have their's and are ecstatic. I told the Guitar Center on Halsted in Chicago to get one in so I can toy with it. I love Pro53, so at 22lbs, this all analog (YES!) polysynth could be killer. But while I'm really geeked by it, the instrument I'm hanging onto my pennies (200,000 of em!) for is........

.....the Kurzweil PC3x. I've never been a huge Kfan, but I'm pretty psyched by this machine. I'm going to take the plunge in the next few weeks (they allegedly ship in November) and get one. We'll see how it goes.

Oh, and the Clone tie-in: it has KB3 mode.
