Jeremy Brieske — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 22:50:13 +0000

Any Sammy Hagar fans out there? I’m not, but I’d still take this prize.

You’ll also receive an autographed Gibson Sammy Hagar Red Rocker Les Paul and stay at the luxury Casa Dorada Los Cabos Hotel Resort in the heart of Cabo San Lucas!

More about the Gibson Sammy Hagar Red Rocker Les Paul:

Through a career that spans stints with Ronnie Montrose, Van Halen, and his own prominent solo work, Sammy Hagar has been the force behind a total of 60 million record sales and countless righteous riffs, and when the Red Rocker rocks, he chooses to rock Gibson. Now, in celebration of Hagar’s mammoth new band Chickenfoot, and its self-titled debut album, Gibson USA introduces the Sammy Hagar Red Rocker Les Paul, a guitar with legendary appointments and a hot new look designed by the artist himself, all primed to stoke a new era in rock. A super-group comprised of Joe Satriani on lead guitar, Michael Anthony of Van Halen on bass, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on drums, and Hagar on guitar and vocals, Red Rocker is taking the rock world by storm, and the Sammy Hagar Red Rocker Les Paul is the perfect centerpiece for the conquest.

Jeremy Brieske — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:15:02 +0000

The Deal: I have to admit, this does not look like the most enticing cash-back rebate I’ve ever seen. I guess, though, if you’re going to buy a new cymbal anyway, you might as well get a few bucks back.

Through the end of March 2009, when you buy qualifying models of Zildjian A Custom or Armand Series cymbals, Zildjian will send you a dollar back for each inch you buy. So, if you buy an 8″ splash cymbal, they’ll send you $8, a 20″ ride, $20.

The Deal: Like everyone else in this country, I’m sure the recent economic meltdown has gotten you bummed. It’s probably also killed or severely reduced your gear budget.

But I’m sure you’ve got the itch, right? You need to buy something…anything. Even if it only costs a few bucks, it’ll make you feel a little bit better.

Here’s an item for under $2 that I bet you don’t have. The Wedgie headstock mount pick holder is a nice little addition to your collection and, for $1.69, you’ll still have money left over to feed your kids. I’ve actually used these before and they work quite well, for what it’s worth.

Jeremy Brieske — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:35:59 +0000

The Deal: If you’ve had your eye on a Gibson Robot Les Paul or SG, but the price tag didn’t match up with your wallet, this deal may be more friendly to your budget.

Musicians Friend has dropped prices on certain Robot Les Paul and SG models. I’m not sure if these are discontinued colors or what, but some models are an additional $1,090 off their usual sale price. For instance, you can get a Gibson Robot Les Paul Studio Ltd. Electric Guitar (MSRP: $4,289.00) for just $1,699.00. That’s a savings of $2590.00(60%). Not bad!

The Deal: If you fancy yourself as any kind of semi-serious musician or sound engineer, you must have at least one Shure SM58 vocal mic in your audio arsenal.

Through the end of 2008, Shure is offering a $10 cash-back rebate on SM58 mics. Now, I know this isn’t a ton of money, but even after tax, that gives you an industry standard microphone for under a hundred bucks. I’ll take three!

Take 15% off Moody Luxury Leather Guitar Straps at Musicians Friend

Jeremy Brieske — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:24:02 +0000

The Deal: I have to start this post off with an endorsement. Three or four years ago I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Moody leather guitar strap. I have touched and owned quite a few straps over the years, but this could possibly be the nicest. The leather is the softest I’ve ever seen used on a guitar strap and the stitching and craftsmanship are perfect. I actually have the strap that is pictured here (black leather with a red suede backing).

That being said…these straps, although worth every penny, are not cheap. These little beauties are going to run you at least $150. If you’re willing to drop this kind of coin, but would still like a few dollars off, check out the promo happening at Musicians Friend. Right now they’re offering 15% off Moody’s Luxury Leather Straps. Trust me…you will not regret it!

New Rogers Drum Sets Now Available at Musicians Friend

Jeremy Brieske — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 12:30:02 +0000

The Deal: For those old-timers out there, you remember Rogers Drums as one of the most popular drum brands of the 20th century. Although plenty of rockers played Rogers, jazz drummers like Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson were some of the most famous Rogers endorsers.

Since the 60′s, the Rogers brand name has been passed around the music industry, but landed in the Yamaha portfolio in 2006. Yamaha introduced a new line of Rogers Drums in early 2007. Musicians Friend has just announced that Rogers Drum kits will now be available on their website.

Be advised that if you’re looking for a rebirth of vintage Rogers products, you’re going to be disappointed. These kits are inexpensive and geared toward the beginning to intermediate drummer. With Yamaha behind them, though, I’m sure the new Rogers Drums are a good value.
