Re: 7 Sampler to compliment the XX-7

2008-07-13 by dutchbeats

I just have a link to the eBay auction
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150247840993>  .
It's  dark metallic green but that's only noticeable  in bright light.
Also the letters were simply drawn back on by hand with a silver
permanent marker but overall it's neat(ish) and legible. I'm glad my
introduction to this machine was in a generic paint job like this
because I think my whole creativity would have been thrown off with the
bright splash paint job. It was pure chance I ended up with this as I
was bidding on an ASR-X. I got the Roland S-750 to make up for
that(still haven't tried it out yet until the wires get here but have
heard it's on par with the ASR's sound). I still want to try an X
though.

I'd love to see some other custom XX-7's also. I'm still getting used to
it and it's baddass!
