Coming out of retirement from a DJ career that never was

I went out and bought new turntables on Saturday. 1200s for $399 a piece, not bad. Now I just need to spend like $600 or so on a good mixer...Seems like they don't make the Vestax PMC17a anymore, any similar suggestions? And needles. I need needles that can be used for scratching (the boy wants to learn) and that'll work fine for my more " ( Read more... )

Pioneer's DJM-400 is probably a safe bet. I've never used the 400, but I've used the 500 and up and they're my favorites.

As for needles, I've never learned to scratch, but everything I hear points to Stanton.

(I envy you. Selling my tables was the worst mistake of my life T_T)

Hey. I have a question for you. In all of your hippie voodoo (ok I won't call it crap since I'm asking for advice) can you point me to any info on the significance of the right arm vs the left? I'm still trying to decide which arm to get my tattoo on and figure I can use all the random input I can get. Thanks

The left arm is the "bad" one. The word for left in Latin is the same root as the word sinister. Spoooooky! So the question is, are you feeling sinister?
