I have played one … Back when I was just a wee midi gremlin, working at
a music store, someone had one on consignment, he wanted WAY too much for it, so it was there for at least a year, and I got to mess with it quite a bit. A very unique, maybe even ‘trademark’ sound. There was also an Oberheim Xpander, and I messed with that monster even more. Massive bass, you could feel it in your belly.
i have 1 here and im looking to see how much they woul sell for any ideas?
