About a month ago, we got a call from Sully Erna from Godsmack regarding the purchase of a ton of their old touring and recording equipment. Naturally, when you need to sell or trade your gear, Daddy’s Junky Music is the place to call. Sully knows this, so he hit us up and Candi Bramante (promotions director), Brian Guilbeault (one of our warehouse managers), and myself went down and met Sully at his storage space and picked up a ton of gear that had been used on the past couple albums and through a number of studio sessions. It’s been a huge amount of work getting everything photographed, cleaned and tested so this post will be short and to the point. We’re going to be selling everything on eBay for Sully and the band so pretty soon I’m going to have a pile of some really cool live and recording gear available for auction. The auctions will probably go live the beginning of next week so as I get everything listed, I’ll be going over the items in more detail on the blog. Hopefully this will give you all some insight as to what goes into a live tour and some examples of some premium gear that can be used in a variety of live and recording applications. For now, I’ll leave you with a small preview of what’s to come. Ok, well maybe it’s not small, but when you sell millions of albums and go on huge word wide tours that’s not exactly a small feat either. Check it out.
Godsmack approved wall of sound!
Here I am "working". I'm actually just telling my wife I'm busy and can't talk! Nice timing on the photo op Candi. Makes me look like a slacker. It was nice to see Sully wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty. He was really great to work with. That's his long time friend Fro on the right side of the case helping load up.
Sully and I by the Daddy's truck. In the back of the truck is Brian Guilbeault, one of our warehouse managers. He drove Candi and me down and gave us a hand getting everything loaded up and brought back to corporate safely. Thanks Brian!
There’s a ton of stuff not pictured here because it was just getting ridiculous and I was running out of room in the photo to pile more stuff. That big road case under the mixer is chock full of pedals, processors, percussion, strings, cables, and a ton of other items. Stay tuned for more detailed information on all the gear!
