We’re Kickin’ it Old School with Weekend Gear Deals

Jeremy Brieske — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:55:57 +0000

If you’ve been with GearPipe for a while (we’re nearly three years old!), you’ll remember that I used to post gear deals almost exclusively. Things have changed a bit, but I thought it would be fun to track down a few deals for those of you with some cash burning a hole in your pocket. If you find this useful and want me to post more, please leave a comment below.

Save 10% on a single item at Guitar Center. This coupon is good thru 7/31/10, so you have to use it by the end of Saturday. It’s good for a discount of up to $500 on one item. If you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on a big ticket item, this might be your time!

TED Talks: David Byrne: How Architecture Helped Music Evolve

Jeremy Brieske — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:47:03 +0000

I just watched this fascinating TED video, featuring David Byrne, about the extent the sound of a building (or other environment) influences the style of music people write.

The most obvious example to many of us would be rock bands who make the leap form playing clubs to theaters to arenas. When you’re playing a small room, you can play intricate guitar solos and drum fills that would get lost in the reverberation of an building meant to host hockey games. So, as bands play larger rooms, they tend to play less notes, taking advantage of the sound of the rooms they find themselves playing.

This is the easy example that many of us have probably thought about. Byrne runs through some other great examples that may not be as obvious to us. How does the outdoor environment in Africa influence the rich African rhythms? Why did the music of Bach and Mozart differ so much? It may have had quite a bit to do with the rooms they knew they’d be playing their latest pieces in.

Very interesting. I hope you enjoy it!

TED Talks: Natalie Merchant sings old poems to life

Jeremy Brieske — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 05:29:09 +0000

You might call me a wuss, but I really like Natalie Merchant. Even if you’re not into her, you have to admit that she’s a very talented artist. In her newest project, Leave Your Sleep, Merchant takes her lyrics from near-forgotten 19th-century poetry. A very cool idea and I think she pulls it off amazingly.

A Simple Strategy to Recover Stolen Musical Instruments

Jeremy Brieske — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:00:16 +0000

Has anyone out there had a prized piece of gear stolen? Did you ever get it back?

When I was in college, the house my band practiced in was broken into and our PA system and our guitarist’s amp was stolen, but the only thing that’s even been taken from me was a splash cymbal. A bummer, but not a huge setback.

On the Fender Front Row blog, the folks from Scottsdale have posted some tips to help you recover your instrument if it’s even stolen. This is pretty simple stuff: write down the serial number, take pictures, file a police report…but sometimes we forget the basics, so this refresher is nice.

Of course, the most important thing is to be extra careful and make sure your gear is safe from sticky fingers to begin with!

Here’s a video from a Bakersfield CA news show reinforcing what Fender is telling us.

Get the New GearPipe.com on Your iPhone, BlackBerry or Android Phone

Jeremy Brieske — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:16:45 +0000

As you can see, I just freshened up the look of GearPipe. After nearly two and a half years, it was definitely time for a clean sweep. Coming up you’ll see more content, less ads, some exclusive gear giveaways, podcasts, and a lot more.

If you’re one of those trendy hipsters with a smart phone, you can also access GearPipe on your phone in some cool ways.

First, there is now a free iPhone app in the Apple App Store. It’s not fancy, but it pulls in all of the new GearPipe posts right to your phone, with separate categories for each instrument plus contests and giveaways. Again, it’s totally free, so go to the App Store and download it!

If you’re on an Android equipped phone, a BlackBerry, or if you use an iPhone and would rather access GearPipe through the web browser, I’ve also installed a mobile-specific theme to the site. This detects when you’re coming to the website from a phone and serves up a more streamlined version of GearPipe. This seems to work pretty well, but if you get there and see the regular site, scroll down to the bottom of the page and there should be a switch to toggle between the two versions.

Thanks again for being a GearPipe reader!

Studio Gear Giveaway! Win a Big Namba Studio Backpack at HowAudio.com

Jeremy Brieske — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:03:32 +0000

The Deal: The fine folks over at HowAudio.com have brought us another fantastic giveaway. They are giving away a Big Namba Studio Backpack.

Here’s some info from the Big Namba about the Studio Backpack:

The Big Namba Studio Backpack was created by our design team of musician’s and dj’s to provide an optimum carrying solution for a laptop mobile studio or computer dj requiring a large control surface. We call it a high performance bag because of the construction detail and the extreme high grade 1680D poly nylon materials that are used.

Designed for security, the Big Namba backpack has many musician friendly details that separate it from the other solutions on the market. Extremely long lockable zippers and unsnappable hinges which allow easier packing, a cable management system that makes it easy to keep cables organized, special material that wicks moisture away from your back, and even a secret stash pocket (for your iLoks, etc.) are a few of the special features.

For more, check out HowAudio’s Product Spotlight Video:

To be honest, I could really use this, so I really hope you lose and I win!
