Stage 3 at Namm 2017 or DSI P6+DSI OB6 now?

Post by Quai34 »

Hi guys,
My feeling was that Namm 2017 won't be a time for the Stage 3 as they will need a little bit to capitalize on the Stage 2 EX.....then, let's say Musikmess 2017 or Namm 2018.....then quite a bit of time to wait and to save before spending 5000/6000$ if I want to upgrade from my Stage 2.
BUT, what about this idea....I keep the Stage 2 because I'm very happy with it, I have a lot of other "samples boxes", XV5080 etc and mainly using 3 Pianos : Bosendorfer, Fazzioli et CP80 Yamaha.....
Then, for the same price (prophet is at 2700$ and OB6 at 2900) , I have two Big beast, NOW and a bit cheaper than the Forecasted Stage 3 price?
What do you think? :keyboard2:
Thanks

Sigh ...

... I try to sleep at night, but the OB-6 keeps me awake! :facepalm:

(I store my Stage2 in the attic ... sorry, but I lost interest since I started exploring my NLA1 & NL4.)

There is no new synth at NAMM this year, all you have read is fake !
NAMM does not even exists, it is our imagination.
Good night :)

Hi Michael,
You haven't lost interest in your Stage 2, it's just that you are not playing regularly with a band for paid gigs....otherwise, the stage 2 would still be the most "Interest worthy" of your keyboards....
But if it's a trick to hide it from your wife and a way t convince her that you "finally" don't have that much and then, you could buy the OB6", then keep it in the Attic....and let us know the degree of succes of that strategy....we are all looking for new ones on that topic....

The world seems to have gone "upgrade crazy". A good instrument is a good instrument. You don't just sell off your car and buy next year's model just because it's a bit better. I think Apple and its never-ending iPhone versions have got a lot to answer for...

If you buy a newer Stage, it still works like a Stage and still sounds like a Stage - no-one will notice the difference except you. It will never do what a P6 or OB6 do.

I have a Stage classic and I have no intention of replacing it with a later version. There are far more interesting things I can buy with the money.

Amen to that. World is going crazy indeed: instruments are proclamed obsolete by GASed forumist. It's new though.

Upgrading ...

Post by Marlowes »

Yes, I got serious GAS, but I have not proclaimed any equipment obsolete. I still have my NL2X & Line6 Pod 1. :thumbup:
OK, once I obsoleted my 106, 303 & 606. Now I wish I had not. Older and hopefully wiser now.
And ... I know I should make more music and practice scales instead of GAS browsing. Sigh! :facepalm:

And, synths is a very equipment focused sport. As guitars. Sometimes I wish I would have fallen for pan flutes or kalimbas.

Yes ... I'm in deep trouble. But I LOVE it!

(Once I was into upgrading of wife, from 1.0 to 2.0.
THAT was expensive and painful. No more of that.
Swapping synths are just a breeze compared to that! ;) )
