The Official Ben Folds Reverb Shop

[@ChanceCooper125]

He talks about "Smoke" so casually but that song is absolutely gorgeous. Love Ben Folds. Such a genius.

[@bugboimovies7702]

Ben Folds needs more recognition. Jack's Films likes him, comeon!?

[@kiritsuguemiya5724]

Yeah but where the instruments from the Over The Hedge recording sessions at?

[@bugboimovies7702]

I've listened to Ben Folds for a nearly a year now and I have to admit every album is made with care and has something new to say, it's the type of thing you'd listen to on a road trip or in a park with ice-cream, the best way to describe Ben Folds? it's memory music he encapsulates feeling, I've gotten so much respect for this man's art... So please listen to him, thank you!

[@aleonimation]

Ben Folds: *is multi-instrumentalist* Also Ben Folds: "I have a piano I dont really need anything else"

[@ozpunk]

Smoke is such a fantastic song, would be wild to own that melodica

[@lsb2623]

I saw Ben Folds 5 open for Dave Matthews back in the late 90's at the football stadium in Massachusetts. I was on strong acid. I am also afraid of bugs and especially moths and the like. So I look up and a hundred feet above me is a monarch butterfly. It starts meandering back and forth and getting ever lower and closer to me. I thought "What the fuck.. why now?!" And it goes to land right near me, and I just ran away!

[@liamtahaney713]

I don't think Ben folds has much to do with that story

[@lsb2623]

@@liamtahaney713 About 30 minutes later, Ben Folds was playing piano on stage!

[@TheCartoonCatastrophe]

One of my favorite artists of all time! Damn I wanna grab something from this store

[@ralphoppermann8780]

He makes me want to learn piano. And i wish we were friends in college too.

[@Viabeat]

Bought your Brent Averill Neve 1073's, they're great and being put to use since they've arrived. Thank you!

[@abrahamruiz8473]

I’ll admit, the only song I’ve heard from him is Air off that 1999 Godzilla Soundtrack but after this video I’m totally gonna check out more of his music!

[@jamesbyersmusic]

How did you get on? I've been an almost obsessive Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five fan since about 1998, and have probably seen him live about 12 times 🙂

[@taxman9999]

$50,000 for the mic clip......man you're giving that away !!!!!!!!!!

[@craignehring]

Pretty cool, I wish I had a musical note in my body other than passing gas. Cool video, I ave bought an amp from Reverb, for home stereo use

[@how8765]

Damn Mac and now Ben Folds?? You’re hittin all my favorite artists. CAKE next?

[@titaniumtester6]

I would give everything to own that melodica

[@acidjames]

Ben folds : "Im a non addictive personality" ... has tons of gear in his studio.

[@TheGarageRecordingSC]

New band name...”Talkbox Rehab” I called it !!!! It’s mine !!!! 😂😂

[@christopherfederici2776]

I love him so freakin' much!

[@GeoffBosco]

Shit! I wish I knew his studio was in that building in July when I was standing behind it. My friend's uncle-whose in the music business -has an office in that same building in Studio B.

[@davidhatred8938]

more fear of pop, give me something i can root to!

[@jffdutton1]

If you write your name on a piece of masking tape and stick it to that 57 clip does the price go up? Asking for my brother.

[@liamtahaney713]

One of my absolute favorite artists, but I'm a guitarist. I need absolutely none of this.

[@BaBaBaBenny]

Imagine owning the amp he tracked Rockin’ The Fucking Suburbs on.

[@lourenschmidt428]

Thank you for this!!!

[@clicheguevara5282]

IM BUYING THAT GODDAMN CLIP!!

[@electrolinks]

All I want is the recordings

[@benperschall6648]

wow! really cool!

[@Pearls_Have_Eyes]

did he clean the melodica? i hope not...

[@goodboid]

Thank god there isn't a single darn thing I want

[@Boggleforever]

I didn’t realize how thick his accent was

[@WhyTheHorseface]

Aiden Potter wow I hear zero accent.

[@boarderking133]

Living in the south for 15 years I didn't notice it until he said something but now it is pretty thick.

[@WhyTheHorseface]

I live near Boston. Grew up in Colorado, born in Michigan. Natives of ALL of these places have distinct accents. I hear ZERO accent in Ben Folds's voice. Zilch.

[@luthermosher1091]

I only hear a mild accent, but I'm originally from FL so maybe I'm not equipped to hear it lol

[@BathedInMilk]

It's got thicker over the years, interestingly

[@peteralexanderharrison9309]

Come on, don’t be shy, tell us who you really know!!!!

[@Terryomalleyonline]

Not a single keyboard axe for sale? 😝

[@burtreynolds2969]

I like stuff too.

[@Dudeitsmeee]

I always wonder if this stuff actually ends up being bought by musicians who use it or fans who bid things up and pay too much for a "piece of their hero" .. I mean Ben Folds isn't a huge megastar (not that he doesn't deserve it) but say someone like Keith Richards going "This guitar is a great player man it needs to be played" and knowing some lawyer or doctor stones fan is gonna hand it on a wall or pack it in a vault..

[@charlesbolton8471]

Dudeitsmeee The Official Artist Shops usually aren’t auctions. The items are listed at a particular price like anything else on Reverb and you can usually even make offers if someone else doesn’t buy the item for the asking price first. Also, typically the prices aren’t marked up over what the item would normally sell for if it wasn’t celebrity owned. There are exceptions if it was something significant to the artist’s career like something they wrote/recorded major songs with, our toured with heavily, or if it was used at a significant event that was filmed, etc.

[@Dudeitsmeee]

@@charlesbolton8471 So prices are set by an artist, do they price competitively? I feel like it's tempting for people to buy as fans more than buy as a real musician who would use thing, as a artist would want more for their item because it has their name attached. Here's a $250 beat up boss ds-1 I used! and here's a beat up boss ds-1 for $60 some random person put up last night! Almost same item but doesn't have my name attached! Does that make sense.. a keyboard...but owned by so and so! Next to one cheaper not owned or played by so and so!

[@charlesbolton8471]

Dudeitsmeee Honestly, I’m not sure if the artists themselves set the prices or if Reverb does, or if it is a decision made between the artist and Reverb together. I can with 100% certainty say that the merchandise is in possession of Reverb and ships from Reverb’s address in Chicago. The answer to your other question is yes almost always the items are priced at normal prices. If “whoever celebrity” is selling a 2007 American Standard Strat and a nobody like me was also selling a 2007 American Standard Strat the prices would be similar. However, if that celebrity used that Strat to write and record every song on the best selling album of 2008 and then toured the world with it from 2008-2010 and played it every night in front of thousands of people, and it was in all their music videos, etc., or something like those things it MIGHT be priced higher. I can give a few examples: a few weeks ago Dashboard Confessional sold some gear on Reverb(in fact a few things haven’t sold yet), among the items sold was the guitar(a Gibson J-185) that Chris Carrabba played on MTV Unplugged. This performance dramatically increased the band’s success. Many people expected this particular guitar to sell for many times the original price just because of its significance, and had it been an auction it could have easily sold for $10,000+. However, it sold for $2,750 which is less than what they cost new. The band Wilco regularly( at least once a year) lists new items on it Official Reverb Shop it is always priced competitively with similar items from non celebrities, and often they even sell memorabilia such as banners, old backstage passes and such so that there will be something that everyone could afford since most of their gear is either vintage or custom shop gear. Personally, I bought an amp from an artist shop on Reverb. Not only was it almost $500 cheaper than what the amp sells for new it was the lowest priced used one available on Reverb at the time I bought it by at least $150, and it looks brand new.

[@WhyTheHorseface]

I thought he was in Australia.

[@electrolinks]

I'll give you 60 for the clip. Don't give me no gip.

[@revol40]

Dude I wish I won the lottery just so I can get that mic clip.
