I'm sure this will cause another run

I'm glad I got most of the stuff I needed from them 3-4 months ago. Haven't even checked their website since they announced closing.

I saw on Instagram that they may have a buyer for their remaining stock and they've got to see what they've got left over once the dust settles. They will be missed, especially for some of the rare parts.

I wonder if it's Cusack?

I wonder if it's Cusack?

That would be my assumption. I don’t think there’s anyone else really positioned to take on that kind of inventory.

Did you know that their official military march was written by Dimitri Pokrass?

Oh, Cusack!

 

[Bricksnbeatles]

LMS is probably way too small of an operation to be the buyer. Cusack would make a lot of sense. I could see AES/Tubes&More potentially as well.

I’m going to start the rumor that @fig is involved

fig’s greatest contest yet: if you get the golden ticket, he gives you full ownership of SB

Who is this Cusack of which you speak? Is it the Cusack of Cusack pedals? Why am I seeing Cusack written on the back of pots in some folks builds?

That’s the one. In addition to owning Cusack Music, Mojo Hand FX, Jon Cusack is also the owner of Stompboxparts.com

The Cusack pots are the pots sold by Stompbox Parts

He is a busy guy! He was great in Hi Fidelity.

Thanks - I will check out stompbox parts

 

[Matmosphere]

I hope that someone steps in and buys the business, not just for us, but those guys have been so good to the community it would be nice to see them get a good payout now that they are closing.

Cusack manufactures stuff for a ton of companies, so I am sure it would be worth the price alone just to get a hold of Steve's supplier list.

I hear Cusack's real name is actually Lloyd. I found an old picture of him on google. Totally wished the kickboxing had worked out for him, but I'm sure building pedals for a living ain't bad either.

I preferred him as a middle-aged Brian Wilson in Love and Mercy, but he’s good in most roles he does.

I was surprised at how much I liked that film. Cusack was great in it. The flashback scenes, though, were especially good.

Right? Fantastic film. Paul Dano was incredible as a young Brian. Giamatti was fantastic as Dr. Landy too.

 

[PBWilson1970]

Just ordered a bunch of parts from SmallBear and wish them well in retirement.

I just hope I didn't forget something...

 

[Kroars]

Well, this seems like it could be pretty awesome. Better than the alternative of losing them altogether:

Interesting. never heard of synth cube.

 

[Harry Klippton]

Whoa I didn't realize synthcube was in MA. that's pretty cool
