Hi Bud, Mike, and Lindoz,

Yes! It is neat to reminisce, especially about musical instruments and accessories. I think it is quite appropriate, Bud, to raise the subject of old instruments and memories on this forum. Lindoz, you mentioned the Electro-Harmonix line of accessories. I had the Small Stone phaser and Electric Mistress in addition to others, the names of which I have forgotten. Also had MXR flanger and analog delay units. I still have an ARP Quartet polyphonic synth (8-note polyphonic. Also have a Fender Precision Bass guitar and an Ibanez electric (Les Paul copy) guitar. Do any of you remember the TEAC Portastudio 144/244 multi-track cassette format tape recorders. I sold my 144, but still have the 244. Speaking of reverb units, Bud, I still have a Roland reverb that also has echo, and a sound on sound feature using a built-in tape unit. I have a few other "old" bits and pieces. All of the equipment is stored in cases or boxes. I guess the electronic stuff still works. Haven't plugged them in for many years. I, for one, do remember the Epiphone line of guitars. Mike, you are right about spring reverbs making a racket when dropped. I had a guitar amp with a spring reverb and sometimes I would stumble over it amid all the cables and kits and it would make a heck of a racket! Great memories!!! Incidentally, I gave all my Electro-Harmonix and MXR affects units to a young guitar player and he was tickled to death to have them. I can still hear the Electric Mistress because I used it when I recorded the Bee Gee tune "The Air That I Breathe" using the TEAC Portastudio. I wouldn't part with that tape. Guess I've rambled on long enough guys. It was nice to get up this morning and find this subject on our forum. Thanks, Bud.
