haha you guys are funny. someone actually just bought one of the mark 2's, so they have one left. i had a chance to play this one though, and it seems like the pickups are bad. half the keys play real well, but the other half (random keys) come through very quietly. i guess that's why it's only 300 bucks, but it still looks great, and im sure you could get it fixed easily.

Amps, Effects & Recording Techniques / MXR 90 mod

i did this as well and it sounds so much better than the stock phase 90. it gets rid of that awful midrange peak and harsh tones and replaces it with real smooth phasing. it sounds just like a Maxon Phase Tone, so if you don't feel like messing with your phase 90, get a Maxon. peace.

Amps, Effects & Recording Techniques / Doctor Q
September 16, 2005, 01:59:59 AM
i used to have a reissue doctor q and i hated the sound in general, especially on the rhodes. it just sounds so thin and cheap. the original 70's ones are supposedly a lot better, so they might work if you can find one. what i use is a digitech synth wah and i think it sounds really really good. i wanna find out what envelope d'angelo used on the rhodes for the recording of "jones in my bones" on brown sugar. check that out. peace.

hey guys. i'm new here. my girlfriend got me a rhodes a few months ago as a random gift and since then i've been hooked. i don't even really play keys (i'm a guitar player) but i just love the sound.

anyway, i wanted to tell anyone in the maryland area about a place called Atomic Music in college park. this place is a great used music store, and they always have at least one rhodes. my girlfriend got my 1973 Mark 1 suitcase for only $350, and it works perfectly. right now they have 2 Mark 2's, and i know one of them works well, but i havnt played the other one. they also have a stage piano with the huge speaker and everything. both of the mark 2's are under $400, and i dont know about the other one. the thing is though, even if something's wrong with a rhodes you buy there, they have a rhodes that they only use for parts and they will hook you up with whatever you need free of charge (as long as it's not something HUGE). so i just wanted to let everyone know about this place. peace yall.
