Much like the electronics site woot.com, ~~Guitar Center~~ Musician's Friend is putting an item on clearance for one day until the quantity runs out. They're calling it the "Stupid Deal of the Day", today's deal is a Michael Kelly Valor Special Electric Guitar for $199, normally $299.

Guess who's back with a great deal on a bass half-stack?

A recent letter to the Fiend asks:

"My drummer hits really hard and I can't hear my guitar amp. What would the Fiend do?

-Matt from Michigan"

Hey Matt,
The Fiend recommends picking up a couple of items:

1. Behringer UB1832FX Pro Eurorack 18 Input Mixer with FX
2. Behringer HA4700 Powerplay Pro XL Headphone Amplifier
3. Audio Technica ATHM30 Closed-Back Stereo Monitor Headphones

Run everything (including drum mics, guitar amp, vocal mics, etc) into the board. The board goes into the headphone amp, where each person can control the amount of bass, treble and volume in their own headphones. You might need an extension cord for your headphones, but the bottom line is that you can customize and control your levels... and finally hear your cab.

I have it listed on Ebay, it closes today. It's a powerful Hartke HA4000 that has great tone and a million and one combinations to create your own sound. It has a built in compressor and rack mount ears. Hell, you can read the description for yourself here.

Home recording gear from Same Day Music

Here's the dilemma... you want to record but don't have the dough to afford the studio. Or you do, but that 2 AM idea will be forgotten if you don't record it. Well, for the cost of a few hours of studio time you can pick up the DigiDesign home recording interface for Mac or PC. It comes with ProTools LE, so the software's taken care of as well. Great price, the hardware and software for just $550.

Check it out here at Same Day Music.

2006-04-23T15:38:00.000-07:00

This is incredible -- the best made, best selling bass strings are on clearance at Music 123. D.R. Lo-Riders Lite, set of 6, for just $80. They're normally $22 a box, so this is an absolute steal.
