Heh…trust me. This is what we call “Moogappointment”. This is the feeling one gets when either the product one has just purchased goes on sale a week later, when a special edition is released in one’s favorite color just after the non-SE was just purchased, or when one doesn’t have enough money to partake in a sale going on because that someone already bought a big ticket item. A number of us here on the forums have felt Moogappointment at one time or another.
At least you don’t have to wait until May for a white one to ship when you can have bass right now. You just need to let your Minitaur give you a bassage, then you will feel happy. There’s no problem a little moog bass can’t fix (except sructural damage, which it seems to accelerate)
A luner LP would be a pretty easy “feild modification.” Simply paint the back panel white (or order a new one from moog) then paint the side panels black (or buy black ones, maybe wood even) then finally apply a lunar LP sticker to the front panel replacing the original.
Yeah I really love how the Lunar Impact Voyager looks and I can’t decide between a range of MFs in Lunar Whitewash or Lunar Black Ash heh. The white Minitaur is pretty bitchin, but I’m just happy to have one. If I win the lottery tonite tho, heck yeah
So there will be different Minitaur designs? Will there also be one with classic wooden sides? Or different colors apart from white? Cool. Any info on what other styles may be in the pipeline?
As trite as it is these days, a part of me really, really wants tiny wood panelling for my Minitaur. I put it on my registration questionnaire as one of a couple spec bump ideas, hope Moog obliges.
Or just head over to home depot or a place that has speciality wood, grab a piece and make some. It shouldn’t really be to hard at all to make. Maybe even go a step further and find a way to make the moog logo out of metal and burn it into the sides. That would be tits. Ya know what, I’m going to get me some wood today!
I lack both teh skills and the equipment for a DIY project like that. Wood side kit tho, I do have a wallet heh. My Minitaur is currently housed in a tony metal case that was leftover from a set of hair clippers. Perfect fit once you remove the forms that held teh clippers and guards. Light padding, it doesn’t slip around and I have all the needed cables tucked in there too
I agree. But I don’t think we will see it until Moog releases something else in the same form factor as the Minitaur. I just don’t believe this is the last of this size and shape. What it will be and when I have no idea.
