Titty mug be damned; JB did you miss lot 63?
No wonder Zappa never did drugs if he lived in freakshow decor like that.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Given Frank shuffled off a while ago now maybe we should blame his missus for the gaudy $2 shop bling.

I love the hippy rococo style. But the house got overstuffed. The wife must be a hoarder.

Wealthy woman with absent husband (always on tour) and plenty of time to fill? Looks like a stunning house and some of the pieces in isolation are fantastic, but it's madness clutter central.Dharmajester wrote:Yeah you'd never guess that music originated in Chinatown.Slowy wrote:

A very interesting guy, Mr Zappa, very much in a good way. His music is too much for my tastes, but I've always enjoyed everything I've read about him or from him.

Re: Frank Zappa's Estate Auction
Pretty nice collection towards the end, Frank obviously liked Marshall's by the looks of it.
Neve studio consoles are the gold standard from everything I've read and heard, not sure how realistic the $30-$40k pricetag is considering it comes 'unassembled' ?!

Re: Frank Zappa's Estate Auction
They were always mentioned in hushed tones of awe when I was doing my audio engineering course at SAE. Way too long ago to remember the details, but there was apparently a particular valve-based Neve console that could pretty much guarantee a studio's success, if they had one. And of course the Abbey Road association helps, seem to remember a couple of 1/2 decent albums have been recorded there...Mini Forklift Ⓥ wrote:Neve studio consoles are the gold standard from everything I've read and heard, not sure how realistic the $30-$40k pricetag is considering it comes 'unassembled' ?!
