Hey all, sorry to anyone who was offended
Thanks for that new info too DS and Xlr8 I didn't realise that they were that closely related to a TB303. I have spent lots of time with 303s and absolutely loved them, but I'm not prepared to pay the kind of money they are going for now, because, quite simply, I don't use that sound enough in the kind of music I write.
I've been doing alot of thinking about what to add to my set up next and I think 1 old school analog mono like the SH101 would be a very clever move.
Still can't find a blue one though :P
Its hard to find this sort of thing in this part of the world, and it seems the best examples come from Japan now, especially since no one of ebay uk is willing to ship internationally for some bizzarre reason.
