Five G - the most amazing synth store

Yeah, its true, but then you don’t get the experience of shopping in Japan. :)

When I was there in 96, it was really crazy how cheap things were .. of course this was right before the revitalization of the analog synths, so I’m kicking myself for not just buying up all the JP-8000’s I saw back then, for a few hundred bucks each .. would’ve been an interesting trip home if I’d had my way (as it is, I already bought too much stuff during that trip .. my QY700, my A3000, a CS1X, etc.)

> I saw an 808 today that was in unbelievable condition. The maintenance booklet (!!!) next to it said some of the colors had been retouched with original materials…


Love that japanese trainspotter life ..
