    Sold this to buy my McIntosh XR7's... I still write myself notes that I post around the house that say, "you made the right decision"

    I had to see what it sounded like and found this youtube video


    Fender Rhodes Student Model (1968): pretty much the first of the Rhodes family. Ten of these would be in a classroom, all the piano students would have headphones on, the teacher would be at a switchboard that could go between each student. Rather ingenious for a teacher and a lot less noisy.

    These models sound incredible! A lot different than a suitcase. A lot more mellow, chimey and warm. I recorded with it like crazy. Highly recommended for a studio, but not for live play. These things way a ton.

    They came in red, yellow and mine was avocado green. They were made of a fiberglass shell and a solid steel "whale fin" base. Most called these the "Jetson's" model.

    nice post
    thats a rhodes student edition

    i recently got one of these. its the business.



    what made you decide to sell it for the mcintosh's? those student editions are tough as shit to find.

    I bought it for $300 and it had some issues that I didn't want to get into fixing. Sold it quick and for 5 times what I paid for it and bought the speakers for way under market value and had some cash left over. Also my wife and I moved into a smaller house and didn't have space for the rhodes.

    It also went to a really great guy that would be using it way more than I ever did. All in all a good decision despite the rarity.

    Boss CE-1 (Chorus & Vibrato) so old it plugs straight into the wall 240volts, no adapter/battery for this thing!
    It's essentially the circuitry from a Roland Jazz Chorus amp in a stomp box.
    I want the roland jet phaser, which basically looks like this but a phaser, haven't played the chorus one though.

    oh yeah and I forgot to post this guy

    It's good to hear actually. I owned it for around 7 years so I got a lot of great use out of it. They are stunning in person!

    Liking the guitars... especially the Gretsch.

    Just splurged on this a few months a go:

    Gibson 1964 B 45 12 String Guitar

    Tangerine for days!
    Nice 12-string, I don't have a 12 of any description & to get a nice one is on my "want" list.

    My Gretsch is really nice, originally they are kind of stupid with non-adjustable bridges, retarded electrics & the stupid heavy/pointless string dampener. So I turned this into an infinitely more useable guitar by putting a Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge on it which sorted the notoriously bad intonation, discarded the string mute & essentially rewired the whole thing like a double humbucker Gibson plus coil-tap. Waaaayy better.

    Very nice, I love my Moog. Never used that model before ... did you get it for a decent price?

  • crazypoprockcrazypoprock 1,037 Posts
    Which Moog do you have? I got it for a decent price...definitely below ebay prices! it was $800...i see it go for $1500 or so pretty often. I am just stoked to have a Moog...it will complement my rolands and sequential circuit pro-one nicely

    Nice! I've only seen the big ass Memory Moogs, never this one.

    I've got a MicroMoog and f*^king love it. Way better than a Rouge and around the same size ... plus it doesn't drift like the Minimoog usually does.

    Would love an ARP and Oberheim Matrix to add to the collection!

    Raj, you still have your Akai 614? I would say it's now officially in the 'vintage' category.

  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    did someone say 614?


  • with a heavy heart I parted with my modified version of the below about 8 months ago... Utility bill..... Ouch..



    I might not have been using it guitar wise in quite some time, but a MIC through it during BBQ mix sessions really added another layer...

    Sorely missed.....

    Roland ep30 - cheap piano sounds

    Rhodes 78' - Was alright but had bad keyboard action, as do most rhodes.Sold it.. You can the princeton better underneath it

    Wurlitzer teachers console - sold this one, got to be a nuance and was too big to gig with. Got a nord electro 3 to replace both keyboards. It's really good but I think I'll want a wurli 200a again someday.

    I prefer the wurlitzer mostly because of the action and playability. They both have great sounds though, I think a rhodes with wurlitzer action would be ideal.

    I choose where I live and when I play pretty carefully. Haven't had any major complaints or issues over the years. Probably have annoyed some people tho.

    that's a nice looking setup utters
