I went out and decided to spend some money, after sitting down at the local music shop and trying out a few mpcs I purchased my baby, 95 Monette $350. I was influenced by both Charlie Shlueter and Chester. A few years later I had the same feeling and went in to try out a few other Monettes but the salesman said try this Conn-Helleberg. I could not believe the sound I was getting from a mpc that was a third less than my Monette. I bought it, by the end of my first concert I thought my jaw was coming unhinged the discomfort boardered on painful. On to my question, what do you guys see in the Helleberg that makes it so popular?
By the way my future plans include checking out some removable cup and rim mpcs, however I'm skeptical. I don't hear anything about the Bach Megatones, any good?
