That guy has crossed the line from being a gear slut to being a serious collector.

 

[applewormy]

haha yeah....collectors the word

 

[subtractor]

That's fucking sic!

I think this is the money shot.

Together with these 2:

the other side of the studio, this guy has a surround setup

And his closet...

And he collects the boxes too:

Anyway, he's got his Bosendorfer placed right in front of the window where the sun is on it. That's not a collector, that's just a guy with too much money on his hands...

Hey guys, don't be knocking Rollerator. He's a good guy, knows his stuff and contributes alot in the form of help over at Harmony-Central.com.

He just happens to be a lawyer who obviously does really well for himself.

 

[Roel]

Ok, I apologize, but he should get his bosendorfer out of the sun!

Yes, but he is still an obsessive collector, who probably should see a shrink or something.
Or, well, I guess collecting synthesizers is no stranger then collecting stamps. I mean, there is really no chance he knows well how to program very many of them, but then again, a stamp collector doesn't send very many letters with his collection...

 

[applewormy]

yeah, he doesn't need all that shit

 

[Wide Awake]

That's true. He is in the process of selling all or almost all of it. I'm not sure why though.

If I owned the old classics like Oberheim and Prophet 5, I would hold onto them until they died.

 

[SonicAlbert]

Forget the gear, I want him to post more NAMM girls pictures.

 

[regebro]

I know sexy chicks sell, but somehow I just think this is too bloody sexist.

Some quick research shows that Gemini (maker of DJ gear, mixers and stuff) is hiring this porn star to push their products.

That does it, *I'll* never buy Gemini gear.

You won't buy Gemini gear because they use a porn star as an advertising gimmick?

Okay.

I wouldn't buy their stuff because its crap.
