Members JAW Posted September 7, 2009 Members Share Posted September 7, 2009 In 1988 I bought a JX3P with PG200 programmer. Traded it for a DX7 mk1 in 1989. Traded my DX7 + some money for a DX5 in 1991. I regretted selling these synths until recently. Last week I traded a W30 for a JX3P and yesterday I traded an X7000 + flightcase for a DX7. Still looking for a PG200 programmer and a DX5, but, no hurry... Which synths did you sell, but regetted doing so afterward and would you buy them again if you ran into one?

Members uvacom-rotatt Posted September 7, 2009 Members Share Posted September 7, 2009 I've had a lot of cool gear over the years. I wouldn't say I regret selling any of it per se, but most of it would be cool to still have.

Members ElectricPuppy Posted September 7, 2009 Members Share Posted September 7, 2009 So far I regret nothing, mainly because I've sold so little. The things I've sold, though, I don't miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Purity_Control Posted September 7, 2009 Members Share Posted September 7, 2009 You might be in luck Flat Earth, i'm probably going to part with my XT in the next month or two. P600 was the best sounding synth i ever parted with, though i don;t miss the noisy cheap keybed, Wavestation i suspect in the long run might be the only synth i ever buy back though i haven't done it yet. MS20/10 i don;t miss much, tbh found the semi-modularness never lived up to expectations, 700s is possibly the only monosynth i miss sometimes, an odd little beast, but very cool what you could do with it with a bit of twiddling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tomkeen Posted September 7, 2009 Members Share Posted September 7, 2009 Nord Electro rack was so cool... I could really use it for my band-project.. I might be buying the Electro 3 this year, but I'll see what korg has to offer with their SV-1 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted September 7, 2009 Members Share Posted September 7, 2009 I would not take anything back but there have been a few purchases where I wish I could go back in time and smack myself upside the head. GAS can be irritating in hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BassDuderino Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 Here's the synths I've let go. In my defence, I was a poor student back then... Roland Jupiter 4;Moog MG-1;Roland SH-2 (also mint). Now, I'm never going to do that mistake again and my policy is to never sell anything that produce sound on it's own (rack gear and computer stuff are fair game however).

Members Franz Schiller Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 Firstly, I sort of miss my Kurzweil K2000. But since I have a K2661, it sort of similar. Secondly, I had to sell my Prophet 08 because a financial emergency. I regret that. Finally, when I was a teen, I sold my ARP Omni and 2600. I regret that. Not because the 2600 would've fetch a ton of money, but because the Omni sounded awesome, had amazing bass, and you could put any keyboard on top. Damn, what a stupid teenager I was!

Members mildbill Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 I had an 18 voice Z1, bought new as a demo for a fantastic price that I foolishly got rid of. I'd like to get that one back. Had two K5000's (an S and a W), but both of them had some minor issues. If I found one that is in real good shape, I might spring for it.

Members MuzikB Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 The only thing I regret selling is the MC-909. I wouldn't have done so had I known Roland would never make another upgraded (and less flawed) model. I'm currently VERY happy with what I have now and want another Blofeld Keyboard.

Members NuSkoolTone Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 The only thing I wouldn't mind grabbing another of would be an EX5 (Though I'd get an EX5r). The AN and VL was COOL! Though I don't "regret" selling it, I sold it while it was still worth something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with my mini-moog which I let go of in the late 80s. It would be fun to have, but I doubt it would work 20 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Helmey Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 I hate to sell stuff I like because I seem to always buy it back... that's why I'm still hanging on to my DW8000. I almost sold my Pro-1 last year to get an MEK, but pulled it off eBay because I knew I'd be buying it back too - and I'm glad I did. I sold my first OB8 and bought it back ten years later. Same with my Moog Source (7 years). I also recently bought a DX7II E! version to replace my original DX-7 but more because of the great price and keyboard action than the vintage sounds. And I almost forgot about my D-50 which I didn't buy back, but I bought the PCMCIA card for the V-Synth to cure my GAS instead. Other than that, I'd definitely buy back my '78 Rhodes 88 Suitcase if it weren't so big and I actually miss the DX-200 I sold last year and might replace it. It has some nice remix features for jamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members augerinn Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'd love to still have these : Realistic MG-1 Ensoniq ESQ-1 Nord Electro 2 73. Also, I had a little blue Roland once with a Pistol grip. It was so long ago, I forget what it was. I'm thinking it was an SH...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
