"The Board is 10' long with the Executive Desk and weighs several hundred pounds."

I've always wanted a desk with those kinds of features to go with my 1960 Les Paul.

Ha!  You can have the old Harrison that's sitting out in my garage.

But I'll keep all my Les Pauls.

We all know that boards have MOJO

So logically for 500k you can by into that MJ MOJO

I am going to ask my bank manager

It will mean my next album will sell AT LEAST 1 million copies.

Damn I can't wait. All ladies MTV cribs and shizz.

I'll send you a postcard from Monaco guys

We'll see who has the last laugh!

Every time I worked on a Harrison, I had a vague feeling (operationally) that I was on an MCI in wolf's clothing.

But hey, lots of hits were cut on both!

This is one case where seeing the item bought by a 'collector' or 'investor' might not be such a bad thing.

"The negative aspects of this business, not only will continue to prevail, but will continue to accelerate in madness. Conditions aren't going to get better, because the economics of rock and roll are getting closer and closer to the economics of Big Business America." - Bill Graham

Judging from the seller's comments, he already has.

Nope.

Bruce's console is NOT the Westlake one. He has a (later) 4032C at his home studio; I was up there not too long ago; I'll see if I can dig out a picture.

i never cease to be amazed that some folks think these are even reasonable-sounding boards.  i worked on a couple of them... and hated them.  that thriller was made on one merely proves that bruce can do amazing things....

Apparently, the westlake board was modified, and probably better than the stock ones.

I usually like a little foreplay before I get screwed...

10k might be reasonable price for that type of console in great condition.

What difference does it make for any piece of equipment of what sound passed through it, who touched it or sneezed on it for that matter...

Then again some people buy anything....:
