gear for sale
in preparation for the eventual move, i've decided to part with some music gear i don't use anymore. i figured i'd give you all first dibs...
rapco 100' 16-channel snake with 4 returns: $50
mackie 1604 vlz pro 16-channel mixer: $250 (note: last time i used this, i noticed one of the channels on the main mix buss was on the fritz. i suspect it's the standard mackie ribbon cable problem, but since i never use this anymore i never got around to getting it fixed)
oud #1: $75
oud #2: $200. this one's a real beauty with some incredible inlay work. one of the strings buzzes a bit (bridge problem, if memory serves correct) but other than that it plays well.
if your'e thinking about buying either of the ouds, be forewarned that these are very primitive instruments and are very picky about things like humidity. the drier you can keep them, the better. they are notoriously bad about staying in tune, although you can stiffen up the tuning pegs with bow rosin to reduce slippage. but if you're able and willing to be patient with them, you'll be rewarded with a really nice tone.
