In addition, they have a Pearl drum set and some as-yet unspecified guitar amps. Biggest omission is a decent bass amp, but it sounds like we have that covered. They also have a great sound person.

as a Seattleite i can provide any of the following guitars to anyone wishing to travel lite.

also practice space in the living room of my house, in N Seattle.

am willing to play guitar or mandolin for anyone in need of additional players.

i might need a drummer to sit in for 1-2 songs, as i been having trouble getting commitment from any of the 3 local drummers i've been talking to.

Awesome, that's very nice of you to offer, dre. We'll at least need one acoustic guitar. I think it's good to have at least two electrics, also, so it seems like between you and rogerroll and roymond we should be good.

fluffy, you still got that extraneous multi-guitar stand? Ship it up here and I'll figure out the hardware...

I'm bringing a Hendrix-tuned acoustic guitar with pickup-insert

and

A vibraslap and tambourine because why the hell not?

I assume "Hendrix-tuned" means all strings are a half-step below normal tuning, that is, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb?

Yup. Just a heads-up before anyone accidentally grabs it and tries to play something in tune, I suppose.

Since I only live 5 miles from the venue, I can be flexible with gear. I definitely plan on bringing my electric guitar (a Fender Jag-Stang). In addition, I could bring any of the following: an Ovation acoustic, a Squire bass, or a Rogue mandolin. Also, I'll throw my assortment of lo-fi semi-functioning effects pedals and the necessary 1/4" cables in a backpack and bring 'em along. Like most Song Fight events, I do not plan on being able to safely operate an automobile after the show, so I will limit the gear I actually bring to the show to what I can lug onto a Metro bus.

I was going to put the parts in my luggage. It's pretty small when disassembled. I also might be able to find the parts list for what SHOULD have come with it although my studio is such a goddamn mess I can't make any promises on that. The only non-straightforward thing is the screws for the base, though (they're like some sort of self-tapping wood screw or something), and I do have a couple of those for reference.

Sounds good, since you are coming early anyway.

Is # bringing any gear too? I'm wondering about the keyboard situation. It's handy to have either a real piano or a keyboard with a piano patch. If I recall correctly the # Nord doesn't have a piano patch. Also useful would be some kind of electric piano (bit of a pain to lug around though) or electric piano patch on a keyboard, if possible.

We will be supplying a Nord Lead 2 and a very nice weighted-keys (88 of 'em) digital piano, if needed. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

If you want to hear what it sounds like, here's a rusty sample of a bit of "Is it Cold" played on it tonight. No filters, no EQ, no practice:

YAYpianosYAY!!!

For reference, the kit and bass amp I'm offering to provide:



Yamaha kick/rack, Pearl floor, choice of Maxwin (wood) or Ludwig (aluminum) snare.

I'm bringing kazoos, a Korg Wavedrum, and will probably also bring a Kaossilator and Korg DS-10 to screw around with.

Will there be a drum set available for every set Friday? I can bring one but I won't if I don't need to. Bongo

I hope to not have to change out the drum set for every band. Between rogerroll and myself, we have a couple of options and will make the final call next week.

Will there be any music stands available? I can maybe bring one with me if necessary but I'd prefer not to have to pack it in my bag. Hopefully I won't be the only one who needs to read off charts and lyric sheets.

i can provide only one... but it has a cup holder!
