Modest Mouse Selling Massive Collection Of Gear And Memorabilia

Beginning on September 5, Modest Mouse will open up a Reverb online shop that will include over 500 pieces of music instruments, equipment, and assorted memorabilia from throughout their 30-year career. The band’s frontman and chief songwriter Isaac Brock has assembled an impressive collection of rare and unique music equipment over the decades, and he has decided to sell off duplicate instruments and random gear that he rarely uses. The Modest Mouse Reverb store will include highly specialized equipment like a Moog Mother-32, an Arp Odyssey, Fender amplifiers, rare effects pedals, and a 50-watt Soursound Audio Custom Amp head that comes complete with a road case. “I would go down to the music store, and I would just buy anything that looked interesting to me,” Brock says in a promotional video for his Reverb shop. “I’d kind of panic that if I didn’t have a whole bunch of new gadgets and tools to work with, I was gonna make the same songs.” (Pitchfork)
