Just to show:
I got my 8080 for €300 - Literally brand new in box.
The Power lead is even spotless (could be a new one, but its probably not 
)… Not a single mark or bit of dust on it, nor a scratch from the rack screws.
You would honestly think its fresh from the factory. Really lucky to find one in such condition.
wait till the cat cr*ps on it

Me & the missus had the same conversation last night…
I said that I’d take the Cat out into the garden & kick her head off her body
The gasps of horror that ensued! :hehe:
Remember I want samples of the cats last screech

The JP8000 is the one you want for the classic trance supersaw.
only thing that annoyed me about the jp was the envelopes… the curves on the attack and decay arnt as nice as the virus or sylenth.
Still a cool synth… had one for years… in fact i think its still kicking about somewhere.

I dont see myself needing to use my mic and synth at the same time so shouldnt be an issue… however looks like I’ll see a new soundcard if and when I want to expand… its all £££££ eh![/quote]
just a thought, but you could always buy a small mixer instead of a large breakout box style sound card.
Would allow you to EQ the synth sound in the mixer rather then in the box.
OK so now it looking like it will cost me £400 as she has had another offer… so now the question beggs, JP 8000 for £400 or Nord Lead brand new for £599??
What do you all think??
Not really up on the Nords to comment Wayne… Seems like an excessive jump in price though.
Unless you really want it and its in pristine condition - Out of principal, I’d tell her to fkn ram it
yeah its in really good order, in been kept in a flight case and not used much which is why I’m giving it some good consideration. Hummmmm
Do you get the flightcase with it?
That type of stuff is useful when selling on…
Still a bit rich jacking it up by 150. I’d say thats probably the going rate for them though.
At least you’d be getting a “good” one. Pity you couldnt even get 50 off it.
Wayne, just get it! You wont regret it. Trust me!
I was this close to doing it but low and behold my invoice which should have been paid to me today is late, fu(king ar$e holes have fu(ked it up for me as she has someone another buyer and wont wait 
However I have made a decision not to spend £1500 on a Virus TI and get a JP8000 or Nord Lead or maybe even a Blofeld next week when my invoice is paid.
I am put off by the menu on the Blofeld but the desktop ones are a good price second hand on ebay…
I honestly dont know anything about the blofelds - but I’d say that the lack of controls on them is a right fkkn pain in the hole.
I’m not sure what they sound like - but I think something a bit more tactile like the Nord / Virus or JP would be SO much better & less of a mindfck.
Sometimes theres a reason why you see so many of something up for sale.
Occasional & rare - Possibly good.
Plentiful - Possibly sh!te (and theres loads of them for sale on Ebay, both new & 2nd hand)
I have a blofeld, there are a couple of vst editors available that open it right up and make it very easy to use
Cool little synth

JP8000’s fly around ebay like flies on a camels *** mate and £400 is a rip £230-£300 maybe but at £400 i’d tell them to jog on mate
Nordlead or rack (originals) £180-£250 max
If its the newer Nord then great grab it

I was looking at the 2X mate, I dont see any second hands one flying around at a good price but hard to find records have brand new ones for £599 which is very tempting.

the JP’s regularly show up on ebay (around 3+ a month) and they do vari a lot in price.
Could always grab a Roland SH-32, I remember them being very trance sounding and a follow up to the JP8080
