Overview
- UK dealer Soundgas is handling the live sale of Jones’s recording and instrument equipment from his private studio.
- Soundgas says the collection was not used by Led Zeppelin, and Jones is letting it go because he no longer needs so much gear and wants it to be put to active use.
- Highlighted pieces include AKAI digital samplers, Yamaha NS-10M speakers, a rare Simmons SDS V electronic drum kit, and an Arbiter Soundimension mechanical echo unit from the 1960s.
- A Guild Thunderbass amp Jones used with Them Crooked Vultures was left at Dave Grohl’s house, went out on loan, and was returned with blown speakers.
- Despite being untested and paired with damaged speakers, the Thunderbass amp is estimated at roughly £1,200–£1,400, while the Arbiter Soundimension is listed at about £4,818.
