  4. I think inspector Chris is hot on the clue trail. If his magnifying glass hits john's link he may solve the caper of the great Roland logo heist!

  10. She gets paid out the ass by Yamaha to play there gear. This means you can only be seen with Yamaha gear. The only way around it is to cover rivals logos or use a Yamaha MIDI controller. (Its part of the contract.)

    I never expected to see a Yamaha sticker slapped on though. Hell they should of went all out and put a BIG Yammy sticker on the back. Wouldn't give her hell though. If Yamaha paid me millions I would tattoo there logo on my forehead.

  11. its not hers, it was rented from a London based equipment hire company.

    i work for them and had to replace the mains lead just before we sent it out to the EMA's. that particular one is probably the most visible jp8 in the uk, as its been used as a prop on various uk tv shows for the last 20 odd years.

    equipment often comes back from tv shows with strips of gaffa tape or black self adhesive plastic placed over any visible logos.
