A guy is selling his SP-808 for $750, and I was wondering if thats a good price for it. Also does anyone have an Sp-808 or have used one , can tell me if it's worth it. I'd appreaciate the advice, Thanks!

What do you want to do with it? I've only had limited experience, but it didn't seem too great for DnB breaks....too many clicks and pops, (it makes a click with EVERY cut - anyone know any different?) but yeah...that sounds like a good price. As i say, I've only messed with a friends, so someone else might have a better clue.

good price, but for a limited piece of gear. I wrote about this at length in the prophecy post. There are more powerful, less gimmicky, more serious pieces of kit out there for less cash. Check out the Akai stuff. If you have some big cash, check out the Ensoniq or Kurzweil stuff. The Roland S-760 is solid, too. I just hate the operating system, which is set up more for rocket scientists than for musicians.

Weak sounds. the sampling engine sounds like a tin can. Not much too say positive about this box.
