5 Funky Things We Saw on Gear Exchange – April 2024

Got gear lying around the studio that you don’t find yourself using? Sell it on Sweetwater’s Gear Exchange! Catered specifically toward musicians, Gear Exchange makes it simple to flip your used studio gear — guitars, microphones, and anything in between. Plus, Sweetwater offers zero seller and transaction fees when you opt for a Sweetwater Gift Card as your payout, giving you more financial headroom when searching for new equipment of your own.

With so much used gear popping up on GX every day, it can be easy to miss out on some interesting instrumental opportunities. So, we’ve commissioned Sweetwater’s most discerning musicians to dig deep and find a handful of the most exotic picks we have to offer. Let’s see what they found!

Kauer 2020 Kauer Starliner Deluxe Tiger Burst

This stunning Kauer 2020 Starliner Deluxe is just as attuned to sonics as it is to looks — with few recognizable signs of wear! A pair of Kauer-exclusive Wolfetone humbuckers certainly bring some sonic heat and clarity to the table, accompanied by TonePros hardware and Sperzel open-back, locking tuning machines. As a result, this six-string yields performance best described by the seller as “near mint.” It’s all topped off with a meticulously shaped flame Eastern maple top featuring Kauer’s Tiger Burst finish and includes a MONO gig bag for storage and travel protection.

Used Suhr Alt T – Faded Whale Blue

Combining modern instrumental performance with esteemed vintage guitar-building practices, any example of Suhr’s six-string lineup is an especially exciting sight on Gear Exchange. This Suhr Alt T in particular showcases the company’s premium appointments, such as a flame maple top and F-hole, proprietary Thornbucker pickups, and a Gotoh bridge. It also sports a gorgeous Faded Whale Blue finish, a less common (yet more than revered) Suhr coloration option. According to the seller, this Alt T has been used lightly and needs some love — if you think you’re the right owner for the job, then get a hold of this mint instrumental opportunity for yourself!

Warwick Custom Shop Masterbuilt Infinity 4-string

Warwick Custom Shop creations are always a treat. Take this 2014 Masterbuilt Infinity 4-string for example: given its stunning AAAA flame-maple top and Almond Sunburst finish, it’s been an instant eye grab for several distinguished bassists here at Sweetwater. As described by the seller, it’s been a handy companion for the past decade, which is no surprise, considering the instrument’s onboard MEC active electronics and Warwick hardware — not to mention a discerning hollowbody build for unique low-end voicing. While it’s spent most of its time as an onstage worship instrument, its like-new condition means this four-string has got plenty of time left for forays in various genres and projects and as a valuable collector’s item.

Merging Technologies Anubis SPS Pro

If you’re looking for a solid AoIP desktop audio interface, then check out this Anubis SPS Pro from Merging Technologies. Given its outstanding condition, it’s a suitable studio addition for any IP-dependent workspace. These interfaces are no common sight on Gear Exchange either, making this offer an especially appealing opportunity among our entire gear lineup. The interface’s configuration, presets, and features are also accessible remotely, to which Sweetwater studio engineers have credited massive troubleshooting success without having to access any internals. While this interface has some use under its belt, the previous owner has assured it’s in excellent condition, meaning it’ll integrate directly into your setup with ease.

Lomo 19a9 Vintage Russian Tube Microphone

The Lomo 19a9 tube microphone is a Soviet icon, the very model used most famously by Steve Albini with Nirvana, with several notable recording sessions under its belt. This specific mic comes with all of the original equipment, cables, power supply, box, and all, still in working condition. It’s even been given the green light by Coral Sound, according to the previous owner, ensuring a clean bill of health for future recording sessions. Similar to a Neumann U 47 or AKG C12 in terms of response, the Lomo 19a9 has a wide frequency range for capturing vocals, guitar, drums, and anything else put in front of it with complete clarity and a low-end punch. We don’t see these on Gear Exchange very often, and vintage deals like these are often among the fastest-selling pieces of gear — if you’re interested, then quickly swipe it for yourself!
