FS: MusicAid SDS-IV

2011-12-19 by jesper

Hi list,

(you get to hear it first...)

now it's up and running again, my spare SDS-IV. It's been serviced and 
I've manufactured a new trigger cable and added new knobs (SDS-V style) 
since many of the originals were broken or lost. Some internal problems 
have been fixed and everything is cleaned and tested. Comes complete 
with drum brain (including that vicious Moog-styled filter), the 
original twin pads, trigger cable and power cord.

There are scratches and marks 'cause this baby has seen the road. But 
it's fully functional and still looking great. The pads have the 
original Premier skins and the manufacturing label is undamaged and 
bears the serial (4)174 which would indicate it's among the last 30 or so...

Feel free to bitch about the price, but I think it's reasonable because 
of rarity and I ask 6000 SEK.

Here's the unit in question at work. triggering from a sequencer and 
yours truely fiddling around with the settings to give an idea about the 
sound range.

Remember that it's a mp3 and that computer speakers won't give this 
vicious little sister of the SDS-III any justice. And yes... I can take 
a few shots for those wanting to see before deciding. :)

mail offlist,

electronically yours, jesper
