Title: anyone got a dat deck in toronto they can lend me monday?
Post by: andrewkw on April 15, 2004, 01:41:04 PM: I forgot that my D7 is still on loan and wont be coming home in time. Going to see muse at the mod club on monday, Ive been waiting over 4 years to see them so obviously want to tape. Going to be running my new dpa 4061's which I'd be happy to loan you for a show, or if you're doing something open I also have microtech gefells m200's id be happy to loan you / give you to hold onto for the show.

I also may have an extra ticket but im not really sure about that.

otherwise I will be looking for a nomad I could buy by then and possibly return :o

Anyone have stealth mics I can borrow for the Metro (Chicago) and Mississippi Nights (St. Louis) shows? Have many good references... my stealth mics never made it back after a Radiohead show I lent them out for.. not a big deal but I'd like to tape Muse when I see them...

I would lend you my dpas but sending stuff canada>us is such a pain because I get a duty everytime. Its usually about $20 because I tell everyone to value things at $50 but if you were to put the real value i'd get over $100 tax just to get my own stuff back.

I still need a deck for monday i think im going to have to try buying an md then returning it tomorrow :(

Post by: firmdragon on April 17, 2004, 07:27:00 PM: you could always value them at $0 and label it as "broken mics". i've sent an md player out that way. another way you could do it would be under value the merch if you label it as a gift. i can't recall off hand, but customs has a threshold price that they let through w/o duty/taxes if it's a) a gift and clearly labeled as one and b) under a certain amount, i think it's like $20-something. i originally bought my mics in this manner through a willing seller.

Post by: dklein on April 18, 2004, 12:01:59 AM: I can lend you a JB3 if you want. You'll probably want some gain with the 4061s but a loud show might come close without a pre. I'm heading out of town Monday morning so catch me tomorrow if you want it.

Post by: andrewkw on April 18, 2004, 06:03:58 PM: blah its probably too late to catch you now but thanks for the offer.

Just curious but did you buy the JB3 around here?
