Members jjpistols Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 so last month when I was out looking for a PowerBlock, I ran into this lil sweetie - a 2001? MIK Harmony Rocket -- apparently the company had the right to the name, but not the design, and the plug was quickly pulled -- 1 out of 100, or so I read online - put her on layaway that day, picked her up tonight anyway, I have owned several old Rockets in the past, and was watching them on ebay - hard to believe they bring over $500 on occasion, and usually $300+ when they do sell -- I paid between $75 and $175 for the ones I owned less than 10 years ago I'd decided since a Gretsch isn't in my future anytime soon, I'd go back to a Rocket if I could find a good one -- I did, although I didn't expect a reissue soundclip: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=615074&songID=5033733 3 generic toaster style pups, 1 vol/1tone for each - 1-2-3-ALL switch so I'm nearly done buying electrics - got one almost finished that is being built for me, and another I am assembling that is a few bucks away from completion then it's a good acoustic and good night, Irene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Edward Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 Nice! Good score..... Are you gonna play that one out, or treat it like a rare and collectible beast, and keep it for recording use only? Methinks you need one to keep nice and another couple to play out with..... (you never escape GAS, you know....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
