Up for bid is a Scholz Research & Development Rockman X100 with effects loop. The effects loop was an aftermarket add on where the owner could send the unit back to SR&D and they would do the alteration and send it back to the customer. Rockman.fr doesn't even have a mention of such a unit and they are a well know source of the entire Rockman lineup.
This is a rev 9. The condition of this unit would be fair to good with some tape residue in several places and there are some spider cracks near one of the bottom screws on the back where the batteries live - no doubt from someone that doesn't know to loosen these screws when changing batteries. I have used a P-touch to mark input and output jacks. and placed a rev 9 sticker as seen in the photos on the belt clip.
The winner of this auction will also receive a Tom Scholz Fender medium brown tortoise shell pick with Boston logo and Tom's name in gold.
INTRO: My name is Jim Beauregard and I have worked with Tom since 1978. I was Tom’s guitar tech until the early nineties and still work for him part-time. Tom wants to pass these items on to Boston fans and Rockman collectors and will donate the proceeds to the DTS Charitable Foundation – a 501c3 registered charity founded by Tom in 1987. (http://dtscf.com) To date, over 40 organizations ranging from children's hunger programs to animal protection causes have received donations totaling over 4 million dollars.
For his charitable work, Tom has received awards from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Friends of Animals, The National Hospice Organization, the Action for Life Conference (Mahatma Gandhi Award), The Ark Trust, and most recently the Animal Rights 2007 Conference.
Because most administrative functions are either paid for directly by Tom or volunteered, the foundation has an exceptional record of nearly 100% of assets being used to fund programs. Because the foundation does not solicit funds from the public, there are no fundraising costs.
In the next few months, I will be auctioning off many rare and collectible items from the vault.
