letting go of some cool ish...

It's crunch time here at the Lauzon household. Our monstrous California mortgage is due in mere weeks! So, closing our eyes and taking several deep breaths, we bid farewell to some of our beloved musical instruments, electronics, recording equipment, and rare vinyl records.. including my Technics 1200s (turntables) and RANE high-end DJ mixer. Check out some of Dad in Plaid's eBay highlights. Be on the lookout for more stuff- we have 3 pesky mini-people bent on obstructing our operations, thereby slowing the process down.

First, there's this Roland MC-500 Micro-Composer. Ahh.. she's a beauty. A CLASSIC for all those who are down with homemade beats, OR for those punk/rock bands that want to add a synthesized element to their sound without breaking the bank. Easy to use, includes all manuals (new), and disks. Excellent working order- just a cosmetic flaw (tape on the top got all funky. Clean it with some warm water and yer good).And... a personal favorite of mine, purchased from my own sister- old school Vintage Panasonic SG-J500 boombox WITH pull-out record player, mic inputs, and cassette recording. Yeah, I still listen to cassettes. What? They don't skip! Hold your inpromptu freestylin' sessions, if you will, or just have it in your house as a reminder to all your homeslices that you, are indeed, "down"... and always have been.

Hahaha! Click the pics and check out Dad in Plaid's other auctions listed (and coming soon!).

The sad letting go of all our neat stuffs began with a very painful, selling of Dad in Plaid's 1984 Ibanez GB-10 George Benson Archtop, for a mere fraction of its actual value to a nice dude in Switzerland. Only 'bout a hundred of these were made. Here's a pic for your viewing pleasure...
