73 Fender Rhodes I got it PICS!

Post by Mr Mustache »

**Update Scroll down for pics**


Looks like i'm probably going to be getting this, i know the seller and he said he would give it to me for $200 so he could get an Addrock Not so old yeller pedal. he told me he picked up the piano for 100 buck!! :shock:

it seems like a hell of a deal to me, but It doesn't have the cab so there is no power to use the vibrato and the other effect on board, but he said that you can just plug it straight into an amp and it works just fine, just the effects don't work.

do you think it's worth $200?

i'm probably going to go play it tomorrow.

that seems like a great deal. i thought those sold for much more than $200.
i mean $200 will barely buy you a cheap casio keyboard. and those rhodes sound really cool. like old herbie hancock and chick corea stuff.

yeah it seems like a really good deal now that i've done so research. they seem to go for around $500 plus on the ebay.

i'm stoked. the lady plays piano very well and offered to help pay for it. she's been really excited and wanting to play music with my drummer and me. this has inspired her even more.

that is an absolute steal!!! 200 dollars work out at around 100 pounds over here. you cant get a rhodes for less than 600 -700 on ebay.
plus i could be a project to repair/restore.

i miss my 73 :(

i played it and holy fucking shit!

ihave no cash to spare so i worked out a deal with him, on the 15th(when i gets mo money) i'll be giving him 250 for it!! still a fucking steal

it's a 75 to 79 rhondes since in 75 they dropped of the fender name, but it's still made in fullerton california!

this guy i've know him for a few years now and he is the same age as me(20) and he gets some of the coolest shit ever.

I FUCKING PLAYED A 1949 FENDER CHAMP AMP TODAY! AND A NEAR MINT 59-60 OLYMPIC WHITE P-BASS!! WTF?????

he gets all the fucking sweet deals locally before me, but now he's passing a sweet deal to me, and i'm super stoked! AH i want it NOW

I'm very pleased with it and for $250 it was a steal. every key works great, the eq and vibrato don't work because i don't have the power supply or the cab for it. But it work fine just by plugging into an amp.

IT'S FUCKING HEAVY

This is post a 74 Rhodes, because in 75 they took the name Fender off to make Rhondes it own brand.

I'll do one soon, i have to get a decent mic and recording software. unless my canon powershot will be good enough.

it sounds really awesome, but my piano skill about 1/16 of my guitar skills, and i suck at playing guitar i'm a simple melody guy.

i'll just assume you mean hate.... ((hide))

They aren't that much over here they go on ebay for about $500 and that is defiantly worth it, since it's going to sound much cooler than a brand new $500 electronic keyboard.

are they alot of money over there?
