1359.1 | What should the scope be ? | ANT::JACQUES | | Tue Jun 27 1989 16:34 | 19 |
| Me again,
What should we be shooting for? Demo's of mostly electric
guitars, fx, bass, acoustics, PA equipment, recording gear, midi?
If we make it too specific to electric guitar only, we might limit
the attendance. If we go as far as to include keyboards and other midi
equipment, the commusic crowd may outnumber us string-pickers. The
main thing is that everyone gets their questions answered and gets
to see the gear they are interested in demoed.
How about guitar repair. I understand Wurly has a very good
guitar technician on the staff. If I asked Ed he might be willing
to have the guy sit in to answer questions about repairs, custom
work, etc.

1359.2 | I'd be there... | XERO::ARNOLD | An advertising campaign for peace | Tue Jun 27 1989 17:41 | 18 |
| Eddie must really want to do this. He mentioned the same thing to me 2
weeks ago but I've been too busy to follow-up. (Thanks, Mark.)
I'd like to go as a guitarist and as a COMMUSICian. Guitar things I'd
really like to see are the Fender Eric Clapton Strat compared
head-to-head with the Strat Plus, any rack-mount preamps (tube and
non-tube such as the Chandler and the new Roland thing). The
maintenance aspect (such as how to fine-tune your intonation, etc.)
would also be of interest.
In COMMUSIC terms I'm interested in the Lexicon MRC (MIDI Remote
Control), the Roland A-80 keyboard, and any other of the latest gizmos
that I might not know about.
With enough advance notice and if it didn't clash with out-of-town
vacation plans, I'd be there.

1359.3 | topic: multi-effect units | HAZEL::STARR | What do ya do when you get lonely...? | Tue Jun 27 1989 17:55 | 7 |
| A topic I'd like to see discussed is a comparison of the various multi-effects
guitar processors out nowadays. Of particular interest would be stuff from
Digitech and the new ART SGE (which has everyone talking!). I personally am
not that knowledgeable in the electronic's end of things, and would always
appreciate in-store demos of these products.

I'd be interested in the effect processors as well as
some of the new amps. I'd also like to hear some guitar
tech stuff, like instrument setup.

1359.5 | BIG List | FINS::JMINVILLE | breaking like the waves at Malibu | Wed Jun 28 1989 10:40 | 15 |
| Great!! I think we should try to keep it limited to guitar, bass,
and recording. Topics I'd be interested in include:
Comparison of various multieffects processors;
Comparison of tube preamps (ADA MP-1/Marshall/Jackson/Metaltronix)
Demo of some amplifiers (Marshall v.s. Metaltronix; Fenders;
Crates; whatever else they stock);
I'd love to see a demo of 'how to set-up a guitar' and/or what
they can do in terms of custom work;
I'd also like to hear the new Scholz products (especially the
compressor/limiter);
A demo of 4-track and 8-track recorders;
Maybe a comparison of some microphones.

1359.6 | count me in | CIMBAD::TOTH | | Wed Jun 28 1989 12:07 | 4 |
| I would go. My interests would be recording gear: mikes and tape
decks, mostly directed at acoustic instruments. Also effects
processors and midi stuff. Wurly doesn't really have decent acoustic
instruments but if they did I'd be interested in that as well. jt

1359.7 | Fender Clinic 7/17/89 | AQUA::ROST | It's the beat, the beat, the beat | Wed Jul 05 1989 17:04 | 4 |

On a related topic, Worcester MA Wurly's is having a Fender clinic
on Monday, July 17th. If you're not on the mailing list, I'm sure
they'll let get one to you if you call.

1359.8 | any more takers ?? | ANT::JACQUES | | Mon Jul 10 1989 10:11 | 12 |
| So far, there are only 7 replies to this notes, and I wrote reply
#1. We're gonna have to muster more interest than this or tell
Eddy to forget it.
I got an invite to the Fender clinic, and it falls on my wifes
due date (due to have a baby that is). Chances are, I won't be
there, but if she goes early, I might be able to attend. They
are having a drawing for a Fender Strat give away.

I'd be interested in it (for more than just guitar stuff too)
but whether or not I could make it may or may not be a problem.

1359.10 | <sign up 2 more> | HPSCAD::GATULIS | Frank Gatulis | Thu Jul 13 1989 23:38 | 10 |
| I'd like to attend, along with my son who plays guitar.
We have no special topics of interrest, we're interrested in all
the stuff mentioned so far.
Any approximate date?
