Saw this ad on CL.  Another big studio closing up shop.

Sorry to hear that.  Of possible interest to old-timers here:  there appears to be a Bloo LA2A in one of the racks.

they used to throw a NAMM party every year.

I guess covid has prevented them from working. 

their prices are on the high side.

@John do you have any affiliation with these guys?

 

[Recording Engineer]

Yes, last time I was at NAMM, I missed their party. Now wish I hadn’t!

No affiliation.  I've never been there,  was just one of those places wanted to check out eventually, so was surprised  / disappointed to see it. Wonder if it's pandemic related or just music business in general. Also it seems NAMM will be virtual this year (though that's not a surprise).

Sad.

But prices are really high. Good luck selling a 480L for over 5k these days...

How about a U47 for $12,000?

I went there for a NAMM party once or twice.  Sad to see it go, but it happens. I just assume it is pandemic related as the amount of things one has to do to have sessions right now is lengthy and that is just to get folks in the door. We have been basically a ghost town for the most part. Luckily,  we own it all outright so overhead is low.  but still tough

looks like they did an update and sold a lot of stuff.  shows you what I know, with prices that high I thought they wouldn't sell anything.

I thought most prices were pretty reasonable. The only things that had me truly considering were the LA3As and the Tube-Techs. I’ve passed on both though.

I'm surprised too.  CL can be slow going even at lower prices.  Maybe being sold through other avenues or accepting low offers.  Wonder what the 4064 will go for.

I suspect, it will go for much less then they got it for. consoles are like cars. the moment it left the lot, there goes half the value.
