Urgent Tax Sale
This is your chance
I just found out that I owe the government thousands of dollars in taxes. I hate to sell most of this gear (particularly the guitars and the Grescos!) but I like life on the outside. My tax bill is your chance to own some serious gear.

Roger Gresco Ibanez American Master MA3HH QM CS - $1125

Custom Galveston 25 String Triple Neck - $1000
This started as a Galveston 25 string triple neck. I replaced all the hardware though and now it is absolutely sick. The necks are a 6 on bottom, 7 in the middle and a 12 on top. Mahogany body with a gorgeous quilt maple top. Pickups are all Dimarzios and as follows:
- 6 string: Evolution Neck, Evolution 2 Bridge
- 7 string: Air Norton 7, Evolution 7
- 12 string: PAF Pro, Evolution Bridge
There is no pickup switching in the traditional sense. All six humbuckers are wired to the output in parallel. There are three dual concentric potentiometers (one for each neck) so there are 6 volume controls. There are 3 mini toggle switches which put the neck humbuckers out of phase. I built this thing to create the densest sound I could for my feedback system where I would have all three necks and 25 strings vibrating at the same time. Well, it turned out that I had already processed the sound up to pretty much the limits of density and the extra strings didn't sound that much different from a regular 6 string. I don't really have a use for a triple neck guitar and this thing is priced to reflect the limited number of times you would reach for a triple neck. There is a lot of work in this guitar and the electronics alone are worth several hundred dollars. You or your band will IMMEDIATELY get noticed playing this thing. Just ask Rick Nielson. Comes with probably the only case that will accomodate this thing.
2001 Fender Standard Fat Stratocaster with maple board and Case - $390
Blizzard Pearl alder body and maple neck with a maple board. Fat strat so it has a humbucker in the bridge. Show room condition which means it's not mint but in that "it was played in the guitar store" condition. There is no damage on the body. I just set it up for 10s and shimmed the neck to make the saddle and pickup heights properly adjustable. The neck pocket says "SEP 15 2001 X29547". Serial number on the headstock is MZ1094490. Gets all kinds of tones you would expect from a strat from funky to country to metal with the humbucker. Comes with hard shell case. Fender just raised their prices so a new one will cost you $550 WITHOUT a case and apparently there is currently a "unusually long shipping delay" on these from Fender. Seriously, Musicians Friend doesn't even have any available. I really dig this guitar and looked all over to find a maple board with a humbucker in a good color like this but I just have too many strats.
2006? Fender 60th Anniversary Ash? Telecaster with case - $350
Fender Standard Telecaster. I think this is a 2006 since it says 60th anniversary. The wood looks like ash. Tortoiseshell pickguard. Serial number is MZ6220270. Has the better six adjustable saddle string through the body bridge. There is one chip in the clear coat on the upper side (not on the face) that was filled in less than perfectly. You can't see it unless you look for it. since it's clear coat but it's clearly visible when found. Recently setup for 11s. This guitar gets great jazz, country and metal tones. Comes with hard shell case.

AKG C 414 B-XLS condenser mics - $650
I have two of these multipattern condenser recording microphones. The B-XLS is the latest model which features multiple selectable pickup patterns, switchable preattenuation pad, shockmounts and carrying cases. These things are as transparent as you can get without buying a $10,000 pair of DPAs. I bought these last year to record a symphony orchestra and it sounded awesome. I have not used them since so I guess they should go. If you want to hear the recording, I'll send it to you no problem. New at Sweetwater or Zzounds they are $1000 each. New at Musician's Friend for $850. Take these two for $1300 ($650/each).
Dunlop Crybaby DCR-1SR Rackmount Wah with 2 DCR-1FC Foot Controllers - $425
Total steal on this hard to find unit with an extra foot controller. If you know what this unit is, you know it's the greatest wah ever made. Whether you want that Hendrix or Petrucci or Hammett or any other Dunlop wah sound, it's in here. The Dunlop DCR-1SR is a single rack space wah that can plug in up to 4 DCR-1FC foot controllers at a time so you can wah from any position on a huge stage. The unit itself has 6 selectable wah voicings, 5 band parametric EQ, volume cut/boost, TRUE BYPASS (!) and multiple outputs for splitting dry, wet/buffered and wet/dry signal. New this unit was $725 ($600 + $125 for the extra foot controller). It is in great shape. I'm letting it all go for $425.
dbx 1066 Compressor Expander Gate Limiter - $200
This is a recent model dbx 1066 compressor expander gate limiter with XLR jacks. The unit can run in stereo or as two separate mono channels. These go for $400 new. I used this to compress drums a couple times in the studio but I don't have a studio anymore.
Behringer MDX 4600 4 Channel Compressor Expander Gate Limiter - $75
Used on really big drum kits.
Lexicon MPX-100 - $75
Yamaha 01X Digital Mixer - $150
This thing is freakin sweet. It's basically a mini O2R but I think the mLAN firewire ports stopped working so I'm liquidating it. You can still use it as a multibus mixer with built in effects and dynamics processing. Inputs are super quiet!
M-Audio Black Box - $100
Digital modeling amp like a Line 6 POD. Has USB interface to hook up to your computer.
Unloaded Black 4x12 Slant Cab with metal grille and stereo jack - $75
Big box of cat5e ethernet cable
A bunch of gigabit speed cable in all manner of lengths. Make offer.
Nice Mahogany? Futon with Mattress - $150
This is a really nice and solid futon frame. It looks like mahogany. I don't know but it's heavy. Has some scratching. I've just been using it as a couch.
Pickups
I have a bunch of Dimarzios and stock pickups I pulled out of various guitars. Will post a list later.
Dell UltraSharp 1905FP LCD - $130
This has the rare-ish pivot adjustment which lets you rotate the screen to be verticle. This is always a must have for me to work on tall documents like orchestral scores. I recently bought a 24" so I don't need this anymore.
