Jupiter Mini Trumpet



This I bought from one of my friends in my law school days in Japan, getting some inspiration from great Don Cherry...
I have been thinking that probably I should change the mouth piece after trying out some and finding one for my thin lips.

1991 Fender Custom Shop 57 Stratocaster Mod. by Guitar Violence

Image
This heavy mod Fender Custom Shop Strat has been my main guitar for quite a long time. It's just that I invested too much on this cat to take it with me everywhere I gig. I mean, I would not be able to reconstruct in case of theft. Has 3-piece body and v-shaped neck just like Eric Clapton. It's not a Relic but is with normal wear and tear over twenty years adding a nice aged appearence to it. Yeah, I like how an aged lacquer face looks. What makes it a real "one of a kind" is the pickup configuration it has: Bartolini V90s, Seymour Duncan Little 59, Bartolini V90s, Seymour Duncan JB from neck to bridge. It has a 3 position strat pickup selector and another small 3 position flip switch that is activated when the strat PU selector is at the middle position to deliver signals from Bartolini PU/PUs as selected on the small flip switch. On the back of the head is the old Custom Shop logo. Crocodile Locking Pegs were not so popular when Sperzel was in fashion back in ten ye...

Ibanez RG540 Limited Edition

Image
This is the first Ibanez I bought. After the application of several additional oil stain, it has this nice oiled mahogany texture. Only that I could have only 22 frets, this Ibanez could sound just right for me: Current 24 fret nect inevitably shift the neck pickup a little closer to the bridge, resulting in more muffled "half tone" (tapped bridge + middle) compared to the original Fender Strats. But we never know... Probably I could start a mod project with this guitar... I tried numbers of PU configurations on this guitar before I applied the best out of them to my Fender Custom Shop Strat. And I figured I like Bartolini V90S that is on this guitar also (the white PU in the pictures)

KORG Trinity Pro with HDR Option/ ROLAND PCR-M80

Image
KORG Trinity Pro with HDR Option This is one and only key I have. It cost me all the recording and synth rigs I had back then. It was around 4 grand in Japan and 7 grand in the US back in a decade. However, with its advanced and integrated DAW functionality, it was a good deal; it really eliminated my synth rack, hard disk recorders, and audio mixer. I traded in all the BOSS stomps together to make it 4 grand. All my music sample is made out of this keyboard without any external recorder/ synth. As a matter of fact, those recordings were from my Berklee days where I was exploring the world of composition first in my lifetime. It is still my main keyboard only with its MIDI functions. Though still there is a big enthusiasts' community of this key, I should admit it sounds and looks obsolete today, and if you wish to have the equivalent synthesis, you can have it installed on your PC: Korg has released a software bundle called Legacy Collection which includes its Wave Station, M1 syn...
