i'm in Newark

you are more than welcome to stop by and try whatever boom you have, or see stand, etc

Thanks for the invite.. I used to live in Newark many years ago also..

what happened? you got scared and moved? lol

the neighborhood has changed drastically last 24 years since we went south...just watch the news.

Newark gets a bad rap cuz of the "other" side of town
in the Ironbound it's still pretty good,
and the Restaurants here are plentiful and amazing !!!

We still go down neck to Iberia, Fornos & Don Pepe....great Portuguese food always! We lived in the North Ward.

Iberia is fast food
It may be a Portuguese place, but no Portuguese go there, we know better :-)
that would be the last place i eat in Newark
there are way better places :-)

Fornos is good, Spanish, but overpriced IMO

Alot has changed thru the years.... so sad.

Yes, it's deff playable in the seated position I do!, the way the feet are arranged gives you plenty of uncluttered space for pedals and so on, another problem I found with other stands

I have not found a problem with the boom. Just dont put anything too heavy as far as the boom is concerned. And in the seated position yes if you use the IPAD it will cover you view from the audience, a good way around this is to get the mic stand IPad holder and position it to a side, (if you are glued to the music maybe you need to be hidden, work an act that requires only a reference to music, ie lead sheets and plenty of practice), Of course if you are standing there should not be a problem with the IPad stand in front unless you have your keyboard or boards positioned too high.
