And you just know there's some little twerp in his mom's basement trash talking the thing.

Yup….and he is posting on TGP how crappy it sounds and that Townshend has no talent, was a poor player, yada yada yada.

That crap drives me nuts. “Yeah, Clapton is overrated. He never had good tone. He sucks.”

Neve stuff is the bomb!!! Not at that price but it's incredible stuff when working correctly. I build several Neve clones (seventh circle) and they where excellent recording pre's!. Somebody will grab that for their studio!!

                                           Someone most certainly will. Perhaps not at that  $$$$$ but a deal of some sort will be struck.

Dollars to doughnuts says that will be Grohl. He’ll probably store in the janitor’s closet of his studio.

It would be a grand centerpiece also! I think some super stupid good converters into protools would be a setup to drool over!! Especially for drums!

I recorded four songs (ca. 2006) on Pete’s Neve console from his barge studio at Prarie Sun in Cotati, CA. Fat-assed sound outta that board.

I think this is that one, from the description.

I LOVE Neve style preamps…that is all I currently use. I have a Stam  1073 dual input clone and a Black Lion Audio 73 clone. They add the 70s thing..,the fatness and the sheen. Mic preamps are a HUGE part of the records we all love. I want a Stam API pre and then I’ll be set.

Well, I wouldn’t say no to a Helios pre for recording either…..

A shame it wasn't one of the boards the Eagles used . One might be able to break even if they tipped it over and gave it a few hard taps .... I'd guess it might hold a kilo ?

He loves his Epiphone... 🤣

Also, I'd only offer them $320k with the armrest damage.
