What to concentrate on - improving rig and skills

Bennett,

I'm pretty sure the M350 is still being made - it was the previous version (M300) that was discontinued.

Anyways, as an example for the OP: I got a nearly-mint M350 off of eBay for around $100, shipped to my door. I watched listings and waited, found one I thought I could haggle with, and put in a Best Offer; the seller took it.

The only "catch" I found with this unit is that if you use a tap pedal like I do, the jack is TRS and can control both global mute and tap tempo. I had to swap connectors on my pedal to make it work properly. You may just want to go with a 2-pedal setup (make sure they are momentary, as in not "latching") if you desire both controls (I just mute my FX send on the console).

I looked at these online and I don't see much difference between the M300 and M350 and I can pick up a used M300 for $80 and still under $100 if I add an extended warranty so I'll probably pick up that.

I will ask a few of my forum friends that live in the Sac area if they know of any 712's to rent and post back.

Thanks. I'll be checking back for this.

I'd be interested in what deal on matching amps they might have too. I can rent an amp elsewhere no problem, but options are good. The date of the event is Oct. 23.

I have an iTech 8000 and three RMX2450 so if they have either of those or an iTech 6000, that' what I'd prefer just because I'm already familiar with those.

The 350 has better reverbs, but the ones in the 300 are pretty good anyway so it's probably not a big deal. Used the 300 for years as a dedicated snare reverb and it was great at it.

Don't worry about the extended warranty...just stick with buying the product.
