Washburn WR120 Review


The Washburn WR120 is a great entry level guitar
for anyone looking to get into guitaring. It's
light weight body and design ensure ease of play,
and the slick design is easy on the
eyes for sure.


The Washburn WR120 has a full sound
and I found that it stays in tune for ages, so no
need to sit and tune the guitar every time you use it.

Oscar Schmidt Ob45 Bass Guitar Review


The Oscar Schmidt Ob45 Bass Guitar is a fantastic
piece of equipment to have in the studio. Rich,
present sound with enough definition in the mid
range to keep it nice and clear in the mix.

These guitars have longevity and seem to keep on
going and going. I have also witnessed the Oscar
Schmidt Ob45
live on stage and have to say that
they sound fantastic in a live environment.

Stanton T50 Turntable Review


With straight tone arm for superior tracking
the Stanton T50 stands head and shoulders http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
above the rest in it's price range. 35 or 45
RPM, 2 RCA outs and switches for mix or battle
mode, ensure the Stanton gives smooth play and
reliable playback.

I found the Stanton T50 a joy to mix with and it's ease of
use translated into ease of creativity in a
shorter time span.

Wharfedale DM3.0 Microphone Review



The Wharfedale DM3.0 is a super cardioid dynamic microphone, designed to
handle very high levels of gain with no distortion and to minimize feedback.

I was impressed by the internal pop screen which proved to be very effective and
the solid cast zinc alloy body with shock mounting also did a great job of minimizing noise.

The Wharfedale DM3.0 is a solid mic at a great price and definitely worth checking out.

Sennheiser H202 Headphones Review


When it comes to headphones I want to hear the best quality that I possibly can.
The Sennheiser H202's I bought based soley on Sennheiser's reputation for uncompromising quality and attention to detail. After taking them on a global tour to perform various gigs, I have to say that I was totally blown away with the quality of these phones. They deliver a full, crisp yet pumping sound while staying soft and true to the ears.

They are comfortable to wear and are completely detachable which proves useful at the most unexpected times. I would recommend the Sennheiser H202's to any dj looking for an affordable, quality set of headphones.
