26SidedCube Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Yo man, if you write graffiti you'd better not be doing any of that lame "hip-hop" shit. Nah, that's nice man.... what's the sticker on it? I know I can't afford that but my roommate's picking up an assload of new recording equipment in the next couple weeks.... and he sold one of his decks.

Spike Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 Odds of anyone around here getting one are extremely low. Vestax are doing a limited run of 500, rumour has it that Q-Bert already has 15. They're going on sale for around $1000, but that'll almost definitely skyrocket on Ebay. Anyone who's catching QBert's tour can see him doing his set with this. I really wanted to go, and then got the dates wrong, therefore I suck. Seriously tho... this is many a hardcore turntablist's wet dream come true. You get a breaks CD/Minidisc/DAT/Vinyl whatever, hook it up to the line in of this and you suddenly have portable scratchability... I mean, you could almost carry this in an oversized record bag. DJ Kentaro gave it the thumbs up, and if you know who Kentaro is then you'll respect that opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boner Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 fresh concept... i think having the crossfader directly in front of the platter would be akward though... anybody have more info on those tour dates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not any good whatsoever... but I was figuring out crabbing before my friend's needles broke by running his mixer to the PC and using pretty much static beats to practice on. That shit's nuts... if QBert didn't come off as such a nice guy I'd be waiting for him to come here so I could camp outside of whoever's house he stays at.

decu goldyn1 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 wow - my only problem is with all the diff controls on it what happens if one breaks down especially the faders - it'll cost a fortune to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WebsterUno Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 *believe* it has 3 faders? whats up with that!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinse Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 i spotted that thing hovering high above roswell, new mexico. seconds later i found myself in a full on sprint being chased by lil' green djs intent on performing sick little experiments in analog on my mind. i was later released back into the general population only to share the exploits of my abduction with the world through the pages of the daily sun. for real... check out this weeks issue. anyways, its about time vestax has crunched some numbers with q-bert to develop something next level.

phism Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 explain to me how using the fader and all the other shit, would not cause this thing to skip on occasion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26SidedCube Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 phism It looks pretty heavy... if that thing's weighing in at more than an XboX I imagine you'd have a hard time making it skip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 im sorry... but shit looks lame.. and i'm sure it's overpriced.. but hey.. im a component man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyLox Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 i dont get it. I want one but i dont get it. Is it a dual some thing? Why does it have a cross fader? Looks like theres a mixer built in? Explain your self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26SidedCube Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 It's a mixer and a table in one... so I think it's so you can just put this in a bag they're prolly gonna sell for like $100 (wild guess) and then just plug your CD player or IPOD or whatever you have into whenever you want and throw down... if you've got some sort of power source and speakers/ headphones. Easier to just bring your shit to your friend's place and fuck around. Maybe? Edit: Causes those cases to carry both decks and your mixer are usually crazy expensive... makes sense to me.

phism Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 i wouldn't buy one. i don't know. just doesn't seem very sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26SidedCube Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 If I was already paid as hell... and had skills... and liked to get down with a lot of different people... I would. I think that's why there's only 500 being made. Pretty much for other artists and diehards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BROWNer Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 i'd way rather own a dope old dansette, bush, or philips player. on the space tip, definitely an old 80's oracle with shocks over that thing. butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effyoo Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 and in 20 years you'll say you want that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 Well, QBert now uses it as his main deck for his current tour, and DJ Kentaro gives it the thumbs up.... how can you not trust a man like Kentaro? http://www.marwax.com/images/dj_kentaro_marwax.jpg'> "Yo." No-one is totally clear on the exact specification... It has been labelled as the first instrument ever made specifically for skratching, it has 3 faders, and is rumoured to have some sort of slot for some sort of mp3 media to be put in... Supposedly it doesn't have any skip problems, and even though the few DJs who have tried it were worried that they'd knock the arm when getting seriously into it found that there was no problem. My only complaint is that to beat juggle you still need another turntable, so you might as well get a full setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 Oh, and anyway, very few DJs can get sets and money on skratching alone, and it would be difficult to rock a party properly with one of these because you'd always need a second music source that has pitch control and cueing... meaning that you might as well go back to basics. I heard that QBert did 10 minutes of sick scratching... without even using the fader. Damn him. I wish I had talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
