Beastie Music Gear

[Micodin]

Random question. Does anyone else on the board own any of the same types of music gear that the B-Boys use.

Like SP-1200's and the like.

[Sir SkratchaLot]

I've got an MPC2000(xl), which is a newer model but similar to the 60, which is what a lot of people was using in the early 90s. SP12s are a little more vintage but are dope! Very limited sample time on those.

Then you've got the technic 1200s but pretty much everybody has those.

What I really would like some day is an 808!

Handheld 58's when it's time to get loose

[Micodin]

I had a classic MPC 2000 with the external zip drive, but sold it and bought a used MPC 1000 and the Maschine. They are much more practical.

I have 2 Technics 1200's, ECM-V1 SONY Variety Microphone, and a Roland MC-505 (which Mike used for a while).

I have more gear, but I'm not sure if any of the B-Boys used it or not.

I have the same Roomba as Mike D, and DJ Hurricane's Segway.

Yeah, I doubt it. :rolleyes:

[Brother McDuff]

got a whole lot of gear they used, too much to list. favorites though include the mxr 126 flanger/doubler, mu-tron bi-phase, and lexicon 960L reverb unit.

[SP1200]

I have an SP1200. Adrock mentioned that he has Ice Ts old SP1200.

I thought he has Ice T's 808.

[3stooges]

I have a rhodes and a clavinet like money mark. Also have a technics 1200. Not sure if they use one but I play the keys through a 70s fender twin.

He bought his 808 at Road Music on 30th Street for $250. He used it to make the beat for LL Cool Js first record and takes credit for discovering him.

I stand corrected. I got the stories mixed up. It happens.

No you don't.

No you don't.

I'm not so sure about your detective work.

[Micodin]

I'm not so sure about your detective work.

Detective work? I'm Batman & Sherlock Holmes wrapped in one sexy detective sized detective body.

Sheeeeeeeeeeet.

Donkey mandibles are awesome for producing sick back beats

I don't think he means he used the 808 to make that beat though... cause, 'I need a beat' (LL's first record) doesn't have 808 drums, but DMX drums.

[Micodin]

And he has a song writers credit for that song. Weird.

especially on all-instrumental albums released in 2007.

yeah it's just a simple world percussion instrument...

[Michelle*s_Farm]

Because I like it here and I am interested in donkey mandibles.

[pm0ney]

Yep, I have an Sp 1200. Also have Reason, if that counts.
