Ableton Forum

This is a cool synth, but I'm ready to pass it on since I have no time to play. Great synth, great condition, works perfectly, used in a non-smoking environment. Used only at home, never been gigged. Asking $499 or Best Offer ... I prefer cash.

I am also including a Keyboard stand, $29.99 DVD Owner's Manuel, and soundsets by Manuel Schleis - X-Plorations and Ross Baker. All these alone will cost you over $130.00. Do your research. Please no flakers & scam artists.

I am located in the Bay Area, CA. Local buyers only.

i just pulled my jp8000 out from the durty corner i had it in, it actually sounds really bloody good and the basses sound really good too.

i think theyre worth far more than 499... buy this mans synth peoples

If I was stateside I'd consider it. Awesome synth, I agree someone should snap this up!

would you trade for a boxed/sealed never used never opened never registered copy of Cakewalk Sonar 5 the Producers Edition?

it's a goody goody

I would proably consider trading with hardware but not software. The only software I would trade with is Ableton Live 6 for OSX.

Sorry Lapax, I don't want to hi-jack the thread but as an aside; I have a UK power-supply version of the JP-8000 I'd be happy to ship to the UK for those who expressed an interest.

Unforuntately mine just isn't getting as much as it should, even though it's a really nice sounding synth, and in good condition (I still have the original box). I shipped it over from the UK when I first moved to the US so that's the reason it has a UK power supply (I'm using it with a step-down voltage convertor here in the US). So...

If anyone in the UK wants a JP-8000 super-cheap, I'm willing to ship it back to it's home. I'd do it for $300 plus shipping, about 150 quid. Let me know via PM if you're interested and I'll figure out the shipping.

holy shit 150 plus shipping

I may be able to get the money together!

Bump!

I wish I could

but im workin on a project atm to get a "bit of money" about me, not to spend it all on hardware

The price has been dropped to $450.00. Anyone interested in buying my Roland JP 8000. The unit is 100% functional. All sliders and faders work great.

Someone buy this thing, considering it's a V/A from over 10 years ago it aged very well.

A great synth that still sounds better than almost all V/A's currently being built even with it's age.

100% true

and if anyone thinks its for trance music, listen to D Ramirez, he was all over the JP's quirky soundds in a video of him in a studio.

the deep clean bass of the JP is awesome too, gonna start using it (even though i also ave a moog voyager)

But all your basses sound like shit. Chocolate rain, in fact.

I've owned the JP8K and the 8080, and it's a great synth. And if you are still doing tarnce, bands like Above & Beyond still use the JP supersaw over the virus...after 10 years, it's still a kickass synth!

I had a JP-8000 for a while. It was a long term loan from a friends studio. I miss it...

I'd definitely jump on this if I had the cash for it.

Good luck with the sale.
