Went round my mates house sat night for a curry mmmm

and had a go on his decks, good fun and its given me the mixing bug.

He has got a set of 1210's but he dj's in clubs but im looking for a budget set for the rents to get me for xmas, any ideas on what ones would be good for a starter.

cheers

 

Whatever you do don't get belt driven ones, get Direct Drive if you can, Numark or something like for a decent enough beginners set up.

All depends on your budget.

 

Save up and get 1200's or 1210s. If you get the bug you will end up buying them anyway, if you dont you can always sell them and get your money back.

Good advise

 

Cheers, just been looking on ebay and 1210's seem to go for anything between £350 to £800.

What should i be looking to pay without paying over the odds??

ta

 

good 1210's / 00's £500 with a shit mixer and carts

 

They are pretty rock solid and easy to repair so it wouldn't matter if they where overly old so get the mkII's

btw I have 1200's as i'm old skool

well they are about 13years old now yet look as mint as the day I got them

 

there is a setup for sale here ....

ill keep my eyes peeled for the next few weeks, cheers lads.

 

Few years ago there was a company called Soundlab who did a direct drive set of decks that were reasonable price. DLP3's i think they were called. Im sure Dave or another DJ can confirm if they are still about or any good

 

blast from the past

I started off on DLP1's

 

does that mean they are ok then dave?

 

i also started off with DLP1's which were belt driven IIRC? 9 years ago im going back Dave. Yourself?

DLP3's were the exact same but direct drive. Yes they are ok for beginners use

 

Ive got a shed load of house vinyl mate im trying to sell
as ive not played in years.

If your interested pm me

 

ill keep that in mind, cheers matt

 

ive got a shit load of viynl for sale too

the sound lad had a few belt driven ones and the dlp3 were their direct drive.

i got a set of gemini xl600's about 7 years ago and they are still going strong now.

i got mine with stanton 500's, some slip mats, all leads and a basic mixer for £350 brand new.

have a look on www.htfr.co.uk
