Best piece of gear you ever sold?

[Lyncaster]

Title.
For me, it's the monotribe. Thing was great for mobile jamming and crazy basses. But alas, it never found a place in a song. Sold it for a mopho.
I may buy another some day..
What about you?

[Rogue Ai]

Microkorg. It is a good synth but I sold it as I'm more into analog synths and I just started a Eurorack modular.

[Arcadia]

A mint-condition 12-bit Jupiter-8 w/Kenton MIDI that I had put in back in 1995. Worst mistake I ever made.

[100th Monkey]

It's a toss up between a K5000s and a Fizmo. I really liked both of them, but I needed the room and the cold digital sound was already covered by an FS1r.

[jaytranzmit]

A mint OSCar, bought from music control. I'm still at a loss as to why I actually sold it as there was absolutely no need to

[Meow]

Ableton Live Suite.

Don't miss it necessarily but it taught me most things about a DAW and I loved it!

i miss my K5000S more than i miss my Jupiter 6 that's for sure. the one that makes me mad just thinking about it is the 777. why did i sell it?

[Llitsor]

Its pretty rare I sell anything.. But probably the Marion ProSynth. For anyone not familiar, this is an Oberheim 8 note poly analog, in a 1U rackmount case. Made during the period that Tom no longer owned his own name!
Sounded pretty nice too, if a bit soft..

[mono-poly]

EMS Synthi AKS

[bluegreengold]

machinedrum mk 1. microwave xt 30 voice. ASR 10.

Don't miss any of them. Would miss the ASR if I didn't have eps16+

[CfNorENa]

Juno 60. It was a key part of a trade towards an OB-8, so I can live with that, but I do find myself missing that little gem from time time.

[d1rtynyc]

Either my Roland Jupiter 6 or the Jupiter 4.

[laikenf]

Korg MS-20; I honestly didn't like it, but given it's legendary status I have to say it's relatively the best synth (or any piece of gear for that matter) I've sold so far.

[Dubtek71]

Top 3: Tr-909,Sp-12 Turbo, Mks-80 Rev4.

best gear I sold was a Urei BL-40, SSL lunchbox (with 2 amps and 2 brown EQ) and a Prism MMA-4. don't miss any of it.

[Hazmatic]

Hmm...it's a toss up between a Roland Alpha Juno 1 and a Novation K-Station.

[AJ Reynolds]

Vermona DRM-1 mk3. i didn't want to sell it but needed the money.

i'm think about getting another one but there are so many other things i want to try.

[Gil missFlag]

Korg MS20, I really miss it sometimes.

[tonemaker]

Casio CZ-5000 probably. I don't really miss it though because I've learned how to get similar and better sounds since then.

[Syn303]

My DP/4, was dumb selling that, after i programmed the shit out of it, hopefully i can grab one again one day!

[harness]

Matrix 1000. bought for $200, got what I wanted out of it, sold it for $400

[lunaticpark]

Roland SH-09. At the time I sold it, I was too stupid / unexperienced to use it... Now I'm still stupid but with a little bit more experience...

Sold?? WTF?

Huh? Buddy - this is Gearslutz. We only "buy" synths.

its a cheap synth, just buy another.

[seen-da-sizer]

Gear that I sold due to moving across the continent:

Rhodes Chroma
Rhodes Chroma Expander
DK Synergy II + Kaypro

Gear that I sold due to getting other equipment:

Oberheim OB-Xa
Korg BX-3

...just a small subset of a much much bigger list...

You can get those for really cheap now. Keep your eyes open & I'm sure you'll find a deal.

[razorblade]

Well - I didn't really sell it, this guy did it while I was on vacation -

He sold my prophet VS in 1988 to a japanese collector for 1000.00 more than I bought it for... Back then, I had a hard time being mad about the deal.

Now, it's the only old synth I wish I had actually kept.

[Vectorman]

Prophet VS. Sold in 1993, because I was becoming concerned about scarcity of parts for repairs and such with Sequential out of business. Well, that and also sold to help fund my first Mac system so I could get into hard disk recording. Got a whopping $950 out of it (after having paid $2,300 for it brand new).

[Popbott]

I too have rarely sold anything, but the one I regret the most was the Moog Source. No regrets as the new owner said it broke down two months later. He still sold it for $1300. I want another one, Mopho Keyboard version just won't cut it! Nice to have though.

Other items sold I don't miss:

Yamaha DX-100 (replaced with TX-81Z rack which is four DX-100's)
Akai AX-60 (Juno 106 is a win win over this baby, but it sure looks purdy)
Poly 800 mkII (..meh)
Roland TR-707 (really, samples work just fine)
Roland MC-303 (don't even ask)

[MCDE]

-SSB Banana, incredibly rare 80s polysynth, sounded very nice, somewhere in between Oberheim and Moog, i REALLY miss this thing and will probably never see one again. And i sold it for Peanuts.

-Oberheim Ob-Xa
I have to say, i dont miss it that much as it never worked 100% and although i liked the sound, i m not sure it was really my cup of tea.

-Roland Jupiter 6
Didnt like the sound much at the time, still think it sounds a bit thin, but i do miss it for its fast envelopes and general programmability.

-Korg MS10
Traded it for an MC202, this looks like a bad deal now.
