Just window shopping… unless you hit the Powerball.
If your newsletter landed in your inbox this week, you already know the drill. For everyone else: welcome to the weekly reminder that music gear has officially lost its mind.
We're not talking “nice $2,000 Strat.” We’re talking “I need to sell a kidney, my car, and possibly my future children’s college fund” territory.
Here are this week's most ridiculous listings making the rounds:
1. Allman Brothers Band Owned and Played 1957 Les Paul Goldtop - $575,000
This one already has the whole "1957 Gibson Les Paul" aspect, then you add in "Gold Top", plus it was used my a famous band, this is gonna destory every bit of a wallet or bank account, but don't let me deter you!
Check this item out
2. SBS Designs SP-1 Pro TUBE Tube High Fidelity Processor 2010's - Black - $581,147
Tube high fidelity... uh what? Wow the description says this is one of the rarest tube processors in the world. Since the description says it then that means it must be true. If I am mixing a song and I put it through this, it better win me a Grammy instantly! If anyone wants to sell their house for this, please tell me why!
3. MCI Criteria Historic Recording Console Rare Vintage Analog Mixer - $1,000,000 (500,000 price drop!)
Ok I can't really make fun of this one, reading the description, there were tons of crazy famous songs and albums recorded with this console. Again if it's in the description than I guess it's true. But just to name a few; Eagles - Hotel California, Bee Gees - Saturday Night Fever and a ton more Eagles songs. WOW!! Ok I can't make fun of this, this recorded history.
4. Gibson Les Paul 1960 - Sunburst - $525,000 (FREE SHIPPING!!!!!)
Ughhhh... I don't really have much to say about this? Yay for Gibson Les Paul! Free shipping! Hey just do it, they say it's worth this much, so that should be enough!
5. 1995 Dumble Overdrive Special #124 - The Holy Grail! - $249,950
Hey in this economy, this is actually cheaper than a first time home buyer's home, so in that case it is probably worth it. Dumble is super sought after though and there is someone dumble enough (haha) out there to probably buy this. No offense meant there, but this would be a heck of an amp to have on your yacht.
