Location: closely held secret | These are very cool instruments. I hadn't seen one before last weekend.
Think of it as a drum kit (bass, snare & HH) contained in a 12x12x16 box that you sit on while you play. |

Location: Scotland | The Aspire model has about the same retail price as the one I brought over but the construction is tidier and it has better bass response. Personally I prefer the basic $249 LP model over the more expensive Cortes. The Angled model is the one to have. |

I've got a nice pair of Aspire bongoes.
Aspire is to LP what Celebrity is to Ovation. |

That could be arranged but be prepared for a major case of GAS! I suspect you would be calling Al (who never closes) before I get the baritones back out to the car. The 6 string is really nice but the 12 string is just a fookin freak of nature. |

Location: Scotland | If anyone needs a microphone for your new Cajon, I have stock of the little clip-on dynamic I was using inside mine at Amelia. It's intended as a snare/tom mike but works great inside a cajon. Email me for price, they are not expensive. |

BTW, I think it's spelled "Lyrachord". At least that's what the T-hirt says ... |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I got mine this week too. I bought an extra one and will give it to Joe for the Florida House tonight. It is Wednesday, topic is Mexico. I chose New Mexico. Going for three straight weeks of nada. Using the CJ through the Ashdown Reso-1 little acoustic amp and the loop pedal. |

Location: Scotland | OK, so now you all need to put together something like this:-
This is cheap used stuff from ebay and a couple of bargains from Guitar Centre. 18" crash, drilled and paper fastners added, 10" splash, 12" china and a tambourine. The whole lot came to less than $150 including the hardware and stand.
Clip-on Cajon mikes are back in stock if anyone needs one. |

I've also got an extra one that'll be accompanying me 'cross the Atlantic at the end of May, but will stay behind to reside on this little Island in Scotland ("ToughLife", . . for a cajon).
Friggin' cajons're racking-up more FrequentFlyer Miles than ME!! . . . . |

PS - Do banks even exist anymore? I mean the old brick ones where they actually stamped your balance in your bank book, and you went and made your weekly Christmas Club deposit? |

Maybe if I got one with the TV remote control painted on the face of it :confused: |
