The Gathering – Selling Equipment on Ebay

Thursday, November 24, 2005

THE GATHERING’s founding member/guitarist René Rutten is selling some of his equipment on eBay this month. The guitarist recently bought new guitars and explains why he chose to sell some of his older gear on eBay:

“Yes! We are doing a clean-up! So we can start next year tour with fresh new gear! The guitars are for a long time here under my bed so I think someone else will be happy with these old beauties! For a long time I always wanted a left handed theremin, so that’s why I sell this one. And for the Amps and speakers I wanna go stereo ext tour! Cheers, René”

The auctions began on November 20th, 2005 and will end on November 30th, 2005. The items up for sale are:

Gibson Flying V
Gibson Epiphone “explorer” black metallic 1985
Theremin “etherwave” from Bob Moog’s Big Brair

THE GATHERING is currently in the studio recording their 9th studio album with producer Attie Bauw, whom they worked with on 1998’s “How To Measure A Planet?”.

The forthcoming album is scheduled to surface sometime in the spring on the band’s own label Psychonaut Records (available on The End Records in North America), with a tour to follow around the same time in South America and the U.S.
