Ok sent dude
Ah man, this is why Iām afraid to sell any of my vintage synths. You know itās something thatās gonna haunt you.
Iāve just sold my Push2 and even if Iāve not used it for years I connected it to take pictures and wow they really made this thing into something elseā¦ Well atleast itās less boxes to store and more money recouped towards the MD UW+ thatās stuck somewhere in shipping
Youāre breaking my heart man. Henās teeth scattered in the wind.
It will haunt you. Forever. Especially given that they are going to be harder to both find and afford should you decide to replace them. And you will.
It appears most people only regret things that are now hard to come by. If they were still available in large numbers i doubt youād have any feelings like this. You always lust after things that are elusive to you. My regret is the Yamaha CS80 i owned way back in the 80s. When my group folded i sold everything to just get an office job thinking my music days were over. Huge mistake.
Prophet 6. donāt regret it, cos iād lost my job and the kids needed a holiday. but it was the nicest synth i ever owned and i canāt see me ever affording a new one
Iāve had at least three Digitones over the past few years, always ended up selling them, now I find myself wanting one again. When will I ever learnā¦
Iāve sold a lot of stuff and donāt regret any of it at all.
Iāve come close to selling stuff, and then I plug it in and think, no way am I selling this!
I actually put up an Erica synths Dual Drive module for sale, and then realised I REALLY like it. Took it down and now I use it on everything pretty much.
Oh my god this is heartbreaker. One of my dream synths.
Still cool to say you owned and performed with such an icon
This is why Iāll never sell my Prophet~6 or the OB-6. The initial cost was stupid, too many sacrifices, and the price is creeping up.
In 10 to 20 years theyāll be part of the OBXa/Prophet5/Jupiter8/CS-80 crowd. Iāll sell one if I have grandkids who are smart enough to get into university.
How can an instrument look so āupside down?ā Play it left handed and the fret board is a Picasso drawing of a head.
Definitely one of the most 1970ās guitars I have ever seen. I look at it and I hear āSweet Leafā in my head.
Yeah I end up doing this also but itās been so long since Iāve used some of it that even though I really like the sound I sort of feel like I should sell itā¦ like I feel like the roland system 1m is super underrated, super easy to make good sounds yet I almost never use it. I was also thinking of selling a akai s20 which I think I got for 60$ spent another 40$ getting a USB floppy spoof working on it, still the load times are pretty brutal (much better than the floppy speed though), shocked to see people are trying to sell them 300-400$ nowā¦ makes me second guess selling it thinking I might not be able to grab one again. I have a few other character samplers that are just way faster to work with. So yeah itās weird Iāve always gone by the if you like it donāt sell itā¦ but if I never use it whatās the point even if I like it. I Dunnoā¦ itās hard I seem to air of the side of caution, never regretted selling except maybe a prewar ginson banjo I soldā¦ although I have better 4 string instruments and I got stuff I really like from the sale. Still it was a piece of history.
I have 2 pieces of gear Iām not using - a Microbrute and a Pulse 2.
The only reason they arenāt out is because I absolutely donāt have the space to have everything out at once.
But I donāt sell them because I know I will definitely use them one day. Even if itās just a bit of sound design and then sampling it.
Both of them wonāt fetch much money, so I donāt see the point.
The only other thing that annoys me is I bought the latest Maschine and never used it due to NIās completely absent DAW integration. But I donāt sell it as I use it for sample browsing / auditioning, and I like the sample library. For now it stays, but does irritate.
Actually I have stopped using my DT & DN as I basically do everything in Eurorack. But theyāre so small and cute I canāt bare to let them go! I will definitely use them in future though when I work with my ābigger setupā, as opposed to just my modular stuff.
I think thereās a few menu things, but Iām not 100% on the big differences. I honestly use it for the eq boosts, saturation, and the filters on the master as a final processor for live PA stuff. I donāt use any of enveloping features, overbridge etc. The screen is better thatās for sure.
Looks like might be an Australian guitar ? Looks like Australia
Machinedrum, my American tele, Shallow Water, Korg MS-10. As someone said earlier in the thread I donāt āregretā selling any of this because I needed the money for food or rent at the time, but I do wish I was never put in that situation. Maybe Iāll get it all back one day.
I rarely have any regrets.
At one point I sold all my vinyls because I thought cd was the best format, a few years later I did the opposite and sold all my cds because vinyl was all the rage. Nowadays I have countless vinyls and cds again. Nothing is permanent, everything can be bought back if you really want it and are willing to make some sacrifices elsewhere. Iāve sold my collection of original Star Wars -action figures and my huge collection of vintage video games (three times). I donāt really miss any of them. Selling them was a good decision at that point in my life.
The only gear I regret selling is the OP-1 (Sold once and traded it back but ended up selling it again), which I miss mainly for itās beautiful design, wow factor and portability. Maybe the OTO Biscuit too (Had it twice, didnāt stick on either occasion). Sometimes I think that maybe an Octatrack MK2 would be great (sold my MK1 a year ago) but then again not really. All of those are things I can get back second hand if I really want to. It wonāt be easy or cheap but nothing is.
Same here. Iād been struggling to fit the Prophet 6 into my music (which was entirely down to the way my studio was setup and not the synth) and got my head turned by a shiny new Roland System-8. I regretted selling the Prophet almost immediately, especially when it turned out I hated the System-8 within hours of getting it.
I refuse to sell anything specifically to get another instrument now. Iād rather wait and save a bit, own both, and then decide which to sell.
