some years ago i bought myself a Boss br600 multytrack recorder. It had a crappy drummachine part. But you could sample like 13 seconds or something with it. Anyway i started sampling stuff and since then i have been hooked on everything electronic and is now a laptopmusician besides my guitaring witch the br originally was for:)

2)Sherman filterbank (makes any sound intresting)
3)Akai mfc (the sweetest sounding filter ever)

I dropped the ball when fate smiled at me....my uncle offered to sell me his sixties era Fender Precision Bass and amp, for $750 sometime around 1992. Instead I spent my hard earned money on box after box of sports trading cards that are probably less valuable now than they were back then. (Upper Deck basketball and other mass produced sets)

So I wish I could join in and brag about the gem I scored for my uncle, but I can't. I think he ended up trading the bass for two ounces of gold.

Oh yeah, computer keyboard. I love poor photos, and yes, it's top secret.
