Rev. Voodoo

We spent a fair bit of time over the past week trying to figure out the best course of action for The Voodoo Empire Shop.  We think we came up with a pretty good solution!  The shop reopened today at a new address. http://shop.thevoodooempire.com.  It’s the same great items, with a new look and location.  The new location just made sense now that we have multiple domains.  Moving it from Rev. Voodoo’s personal domain to the business domain made obvious sense.  We decided against using zencart anymore and migrated to Wordpress, as that is the software Rev. Voodoo is most familiar with.  In the future, it will minimize downtime in the event of a hack or other problem.  We still offer all the same stuff.  Not just Voodoo Empire stuff, but anything you want to sell!  We are still here to serve the scene!  If you want to sell something you have, sell music downloads, or have us help you with custom made items to put in the shop…just get a hold of us, we’re happy to get you in business!

Due to the recent hacks that hit the Voodoo Empire, we are going to take the opportunity to integrate the shop directly into the Rev. Voodoo website.  The products are still available online at our Zazzle shop and cafepress shops.  It’s too hard to keep trying to dig out multiple software installations every time something happens, so we will try to pull of some tighter integration, and see where we end up!

Over the past couple years, Rev. Voodoo has experimented with many different software packages for building websites.  And those website services have been left online and available for anyone to use.  Keeping an eye on traffic level and activity it is apparent that some of these sites are just not used.  Sites like the Voodoo Community, Club Voodoo, VoodooSpace, and the VoodooPic site haven’t really been maintained in some time, and they really don’t match up with, provide use for, or present The Voodoo Empire very well.  So over the next little while these little side-project websites will be deleted.  This will leave the core Voodoo Empire sites for people to enjoy.  Besides why have anything up that’s substandard?

These following sites are the ones we will keep online for The Voodoo Empire as they are continuously monitored and improved:

• The Voodoo Empire
• Rev. Voodoo’s Blog
• Voodoo Empire File Sharing Service
• The Voodoo Forums
• The Voodoo Empire Shop

If anyone actually likes any of the other sires, let us know before we delete them!

It’s the latest update in the overall overhaul of the Voodoo Empire’s online presence!  This time the Voodoo Forums have been done up!  The theme fits real nice with the look that is now present on the Voodoo Empire main site, the filesharing site, and the Blog!  All that’s left is an overhaul of the shop, and some minor details on the wiki!  Check em all out for yourself!

Slowly we are launching our new product line here at the Voodoo Empire.  Next up we have a sweet aluminum water bottle.  These things are great, they are healthier for you, and better for the environment.  This one features the Voodoo Empire’s newest logo design, along with the URL to this very site.  Support us, support the environment, and support your health all at the same time.  Ya gotta dig this!  Check it out now at the Voodoo Empire Shop!

Now we recently uploaded a sweet graphic Rev. Voodoo had draw up and told you it would probably appear in our clothing line soon.  You know we wouldn’t let ya down.  The graphic was tested ona  sweet pink hoodie for Ankhjii to make sure it would look as good screened up as it did on paper.  It came out amazing, so we are happy to offer this hoodie in the Voodoo Empire Shop.  As with all our clothing lines, this item is completely customizeable.  The colour of the clothing can be changed, and we can even swap the graphic to some other clothing item if you like.  All you gotta do is ask!

Just another quick piece of Rev. Voodoo logo fun.  This will probably find it’s way onto stickers and clothing items in the shop soon!

The first thing I’m looking to offload is the Vestax VCI100, google it, it rocks.  I got it brand new, and it’s used once.  I believe its a refurb unit.  It goes for $400 on ebay.  Its in the original box with all documentation and an unopened disc that includes Traktor 3 le.  (We can easily include a copy of Traktor DJ Studio 3 Full Edition if need be).  I’m trying to get $300 for this item.  You won’t find a price close to that anywhere.

Next up for sale is my full DJ rig.  2 Technics 1210 m3d turntables, and a Pioneer DJM 600 mixer, along with the case that they are in.  I’m trying to sell all these together.  I may eventually sell separate if needed.

The 1210 m3d tables are the black ones.  They are the euro versions so they have the euro plug (that’s why I included the pic of the 2 prong plug above.  I’ve got the adapters on the tables so they can be used on standard American outlets.  The motors on the turntables are going very strong and Ive never had a problem with them.  Here’s the problems with the turntables.  One of them has a dented on/off switch.  The switch works just fione, its just more difficult to use.  One of the tonearms will need replaced, it is bent.  The other tonearm could use a replacement, it just has a loose connection to the cartridge (needle).  It will usually work fine with some fanagling if you don’t want to change it.  It will cost you about $100 or so per tonearm to replace.  The parts are cheap, maybe $40 or so.  It’s the labour that shops charge, so if you are handy you can do this yourself.

The mixer is well used.  It’s missing some knobs and fader tabs.  All the functions work just fine.  You can buy a knob pack online to replace these quite cheap.  Or pull em off an old mixer like I’ve done in the past.  All the functions can be used using the posts the knobs sit on, so its up to you if they actually need replaced.  Many people have done many shows on this mixer as is.  This mixer is and has been reliable for years, but it does have the miles on it.

And finally the case.  It’s just a standard large DJ case that holds both tables along with the mixer.  It has a pocket on the end for headphones and cartridge case, or to stack records while playing..  Its in good shape and will last forever.  It has handles on both ends for carrying, and wheels on one end to rol it around.  The full rig is quite heavy, so the wheels come in handy.

I will also include my cartridges.  They are a pair of ortofon DJ s cartridges.  They both work fine, but the tips are pretty high mile and could probably stand to be replaced.

I’ve looked around online, and full DJ rigs are still going for 750-900 bucks with lesser mixers, older model techs, and no case.  But considering the fact that this gear needs some work, I’ll start my asking price at $600 (with delivery in the local area!).

Finally, I will be selling off my vinyl collection.  I’ve got a bagfull of Drum and Bass, and a Bag of Tech House and related vinyl.  Contact me for more info, I’ll get a full count of my vinyl available.  I’d like to sell the records as a lot, or split by genre.  I’ll consider breaking up the vinyl if I don’t have any takers.  Price is very negotiable.  Each genre comes with its own bag, how convenient.

Like I stated in the description, this equipment nees some TLC.  Its not ready to use, you’ll need at least one tonearm replacement to get started.

All prices listed here are open to negotiation!  I’ll sell to best offer.  If you need this equipment shipped, you will have to pay for shipping.

I hope someone can find a use for my gear.  I’ll miss it.

That’s right, now that The Voodoo Empire is back in operation, its time to stock the shelves of our online shop.  We will be adding more clothing items very soonalong with stickers and buttons.  But coming very soon is The Voodoo Empire line of skateboards.  Here is a sample of our first design, with several more to follow.
