Solid State Logic SL4056G+ with Ultimation

$60,000
+ $10,000 Shipping

MORE INFO

Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe owns this 56-channel SSL console. The console sounds impressive, and many artists have tracked on it, including Tommy himself, Mötley Crüe, Post Malone, Papa Roach, Steven Tyler, Sammy Hagar, The Smashing Pumpkins, Courtney Love, producer Michael Binehorn and producer Bob Rock engineered on it several times, to name a few. Tommy hates letting this go but is sizing down for the new studio.

The console was well taken care of and maintained by Bruce “The Desk Doctor” Millet while in the studio. However, Bruce decommissioned the console and stored it at a climate-controlled facility in Los Angeles, Ca.

If you want to check out the console in person or have a third party look it over, you can contact me to make an appointment. In addition, I can send service history upon request.

The console comes with the entire patch bay system, cabling for 56 channels of i/o for AD/DA or tape machine, costume patch panels, and all the cables you need to wire a studio from the ground up.
