Seriously??? I’d better look for another band which focuses on making great music, not posingbendrdendrowitch wrote: ↑19 Jun 2025, 17:16
But surprise! My bandmates have a strong issue with how the Studiologic looks.
Thanks! The matched red rig on a Spider Pro looks great in all the band photos and videos -- much better than I do! BTW, the NP5 76 is likely the more cost-effective choice over the newer NP6, and they look to be about $2800 new or $2400 used on reverb. So not that awful considering what you get.bendrdendrowitch wrote: ↑23 Jun 2025, 15:21cphollis wrote: ↑20 Jun 2025, 17:45Hahaha -- this is essentially my rig. Unfortunately, most of the older Nords with weighted keybeds don't play as well as the more recent models. My NP4 88 is a nice instrument, but its keybed can't hold a candle to my NP6. Same with the NS2EX and NS3 88.bendrdendrowitch wrote: ↑19 Jun 2025, 17:16 Hello Nord enthusiasts!
I hope this post doesn't break any forum rules — I'm currently looking for a non functional Nord instrument to use for spare parts. Ideally, a Nord Grand, but Nord Stage 2 or 3 88 would also work.
Until recently, I was performing with a Nord Stage 3 88 and a Nord Electro 6D, but I’ve sold both and upgraded to a Nord Stage 4 Compact for gigs, and a Studiologic SL88 Grand with its excellent keybed for piano parts — which personally suits me perfectly. But surprise! My bandmates have a strong issue with how the Studiologic looks.
So I’ve decided that if I could get my hands on an old, broken, non-functional Nord unit, I could turn it into a good-looking MIDI controller with a bit of tinkering.
If anyone has an old, non-working Nord lying around and wants to get a few bucks out of it, feel free to DM me!
Thanks, and all the best!
So, yeah, keep the SL88 and think about a red wrap or similar. My bottom board is the NP5 76 which also does double duty for acoustic gigs. Highly recommended
Damn man, that’s a gorgeous rig! My wallet is hoping it doesn’t end up like that
