Most-Loved Bass: Schecter Stiletto Custom

Most-Loved Synthesizer: Moog Subsequent 37
Our Customer's Love Letter:
"The sound is just exquisite. Throaty lows from pristine clean to grinding dirt and everything in between and a presence to every note that is effortless to obtain. Getting a bad sound from it is MUCH harder than finding the seemingly endless good sounds. I have other synths that I love, and I still do, but none of them can do what this one does, and it does it effortlessly."
Own it for $1,899.00 or 18 payments of $105.50!

Most-Loved Groovebox: Native Instruments Maschine MK3
Our Customer's Love Letter:
"I can't tell you how glad I am to have waited for the MK3. The seamless workflow of the dedicated buttons makes the unit much like the MPC60 and 3000. The screens however is what makes this unit the only Maschine to purchase. Once you've experienced this one, you will quickly find that no other Maschine is worth the time. "
