Latest Gear You've Un-Acquired....

[kslight]

I sold my Alesis HD24xr on reverb…not really doing the remote sessions that I formerly did to justify owning it.

Sold my Tascam DV-RA1000HD external stereo recorder / CD-burner. It was a great hi-res recorder that did everything up to 24/192Khz and even DSD.64 stereo formats. But I'm starting to think that maybe DSD audio isn't gonna become the predominant consumer audio format, after all ... so I ditched it and put that money into some other gear that helps feed my headphone system more elegantly.

Sold a large drum kit I had (Pearl Session Studio Select) and Pearl rack that I bought right before the pandemic start, used on a few prog rock projects, but then it was just sitting and taking up a lot of room in my studio, which I needed for other uses... I'm sad to see it go, but probably better off without it. And I have other "medium" size kits I can use for those types of projects if another comes along.

I finally parted with my RMI Electra Piano after working my self up to do so for a few years. I really, really loved that thing, especially through a big muff but space constraints meant it had been packed up for the last few years. Thankfully it's a simple enough sound that samples will do the same job.
The new owner was super excited about it and knew how special and rare it is so I feel good that it's found a new home.

Are all y'all in agreement that, besides the RIP threads, this is the most depressing current thread at TOMB?

[digitaldrummer]

it's not always depressing. Sometimes I'm more than ready to part with gear because it later allows me to post in the "Latest gear you've acquired" thread.

iconic and underrated keyboard man, love it on dr. john "right place wrong time" and others.

[A.David.MacKinnon]

Once you know that sound you hear it on everything from the early to mid 70's. Alan Toussaint, Genesis, John Lennon, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa.....and on and on.

Oh man! this is mildly embarrassing — I forgot that I actually OWN an RMI electrapiano. A neighbor gave it to me a few years ago, and though I don't have a sustain pedal for it, it's pretty cool. That said, it's huge... and it's sitting at my guitarists house in the back corner of our rehearsal space. I should really break that thing out in the future.

But I did recently sell a really excellent compressor. I recently rehomed my Elysia Xpressor stereo rack unit. That thing was so clean and nice. Just not really mixing outside the box anymore and don't have a big need for stereo comps in the tracking work I do (it's not the "smashy-smashy" kinda comp that I'd use on a parallel drum bus). But I got good money on Reverb... Once I ditch a few more things, I'm gonna move into a new smaller rig.

[alexdingley]

And damn! Sold my Toft ATB-16 console w/ Jim Williams 16 Plug-in-Preamp modules — had it for 12yrs / got about half my investment back in the sale. Can't complain about that.

[The Scum]

Sold my ol SM-10 headset mic to a gentleman who wanted to use it for his singing cowboy routine. He was concerned whether it would fit under his cowboy hat.

e all y'all in agreement that, besides the RIP threads, this is the most depressing current thread at TOMB?

Not at all in this case. I upgraded from the SM-10 to an AKG C520, then from that to a Crown CM311. The AKG is also for sale, and I won't miss it, either.

[alexdingley]

yeah... not that sad over here either. I'm moving up to a Metric-Halo rig and getting another Shelford Channel out of my sales, so I'm super-stoked about these sales.

And just boxed up a Dangerous Music 2bus LT

It’s heading to a saxophone player in Louisiana, to sum the outputs of his Apollo interface. One step closer to my new rig.

Organ, guitar, some preamps, some tape decks, some pedals. mass exodus in my studio here, just trying to simplify and have around stuff i use instead of having it "for that one thing in the future i hope". being more realistic with what i can and can't do and working within that instead of being overly confident i can pull over ripping guitar parts when i can't play guitar

the purge feels good, the clutter is gone, the less instruments is making me work harder to get sounds which is fun and creative

Same!
Korg M1. Battery was low. Replaced but of course on these you lose all the patch memory. Had long ago lost the card that would restore the factory patches. Tried many variations of sysex and midi tweaking to no avail. Ended up taking it to a tech who had an old pc running Windows Vista specifically for these situations. Back in business. M1 on consignment locally.

Pigtronix Keymaster. Just wasn’t using it, cool versatile pedal though.

KRK V4 pair to goodwill.

A couple Peavey guitars, one tele thing with piezo bridge, and one tele that had a great neck but was a boat anchor and I have other options.

Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+. Replaced with a Cioks DC7.
