You wanna talk nerdy? This little stunner is a Kurzweil K2000, a synth workstation originally released in 1991. The K2000 is a beast of a modular synth that is extremely versatile when it comes to generating and modifying sound; I have personally used it to emulate the sounds of The Cars, The Beach Boys, ABBA, Journey, and the organ at Madison Square Garden, to name a few. It is capable of poly- and monophonic synthesis, as well as velocity sensitivity and a full range of envelope and sequencer settings. The synth shown above comes pre-loaded with hundreds of sounds and voices for you to play around with. I will also pack it up in a soft-sided SKB case to make sure you can get it home safely!
This synth is great for folks in cover bands, people building or expanding their own studios, and artists creating EDM musicscapes.
No cutesy-tootsy descriptions here: this board is no-nonsense.
(As a heads-up: most of the keys have yellowed a bit in the past 24 years. They are still stable and solid, and all of the components of the synth are in good health and working order.)
Kurzweil K2000 & SKB Case: $450
I've got a Gibson without a case, but I can't get that even-tanned look on my face because it is almost Labor Day and summer is practically over.
But regardless of the weather you will always feel warm and fuzzy with this little beauty at your side. This Epiphone Les Paul Special is a solid-body electric with a tobacco sunburst finish and a really nice, well-rounded tone. Admittedly, the pick-ups aren't anything especially fancy, but somebody with skill and/or resources could easily upgrade them. Alternatively, this is a really wonderful guitar for a beginner-to-intermediate player looking to expand into new territory. I am reluctant to let it go, but we have outgrown each other and it's time for us to start seeing other people.
Since electric guitars are far too quiet without an amplifier for company, I will pair this one with a Fender Frontman rehearsal/travel amp. Great for practicing and establishing your signature sound!
I'm moving out of state on September 9th, so everything is priced to move, and all prices are open to reasonable negotiation. AND I'll give away a free book with every purchase! Contact me at amebug@yahoo.com for more information.
Thanks, and happy shopping!
