Some things were sold. Other things were left out for anyone to pick up, which seems to have happened. They had to vacate the building quickly.Cuauhtli wrote: Sat Nov 08, 2025 1:51 am I find it disturbing that they threw all the guitar stuff in the trash.

It is definitely sad news. The best bass I ever played was a used G&L at a local music shop. I wasn't really in the market for a new bass at the time so I didn't buy it, but nothing else has ever sounded or played as perfect as that bass.
Surely there must be consensus by now...

I was in the market for a Stratocaster, or so I thought, and I played a bunch of them. I was pretty disappointed. This was early 80s… maybe 1980. A salesperson at Alex Music in NYC saw I was unhappy and brought out a G&L Skyhawk. I was instantly in love. I walked out of there with it and a TS-9. The Tube Screamer is long gone, but I still have the guitar. It’s still amazing.pough wrote: Sat Nov 08, 2025 5:59 pmSome things were sold.

[edit] Looks like the Skyhawk didn’t exist before ’84, so it must have been then. I guess the details are fuzzy.

Shame! Thanks for the heads up.
Grabbed the most recent installers, just in case.
Does anyone know if there is any online activation? I can't remember.
I have serial numbers to activate the products. But don't know whether said activation was fully offline or not.

From Plugivery, I think it’s as I suspected the BBE plugins are their own thing.
BBE is still in business.
We are speaking to them quite often.
Sonic Sweet has a long future ahead of it.
Have a great Week.
Best regards,
Barry Morden
