FW: [Mellotronists] Another M400 surfaces on eBay......Update on #340

2003-07-22 by David Jacques

LOL... Finally an explanation. 
 
I have been like a pig in $%#^ with my new Mellotron. I had a few
friends over to check it out. My favorite comment is from a bass player
friend of mine: "Looks like something you would buy at Target". 
 
Then I played it for him...
 
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good reverb unit for my baby? I
already ran it through my Speakeasy tube preamp and it warmed the sound
to Mark II quality. All I need now is a decent reverb unit....

I'm not entirely sure myself why #806 would be amusing to 
note.  Anyone?  Anyone at all?

I use a preamp that is specifically made for Hammond clones. Its made by
a company called "speakeasy vintage"
http://www.speakeasyvintagemusic.com/store.html

I suggest the mono preamp classic model. They start at $250 (for the
"shotglass") I use the Stereo rack mount because I need it for my Korg
CX3 (which I run in stereo).

The M400 clothes hamper, now on sale at Target.  Who was it, Bobby Sherman's 
wife who used his as a diaper pail?

(or was it Bobby Goldsboro?  My favorite KL line - "what's the difference?")
