Where can my friend buy a cheap TB-303

Its just for messing around - how much should he expect to pay for a budget option and what other pieces of gear should he need (Keyboard, drum machine etc)? It's not for making tracks - just for messing around stoned!

any advice appriciated

cheers

well, first of all, 303's aren't cheap

around 500 bucks are the cheapest ones i've seen, and they're rare

If it's just for fucking around stoned get an mc-303 or an electribe.

...or a girlfriend!

dude, those things are even more expensive

and their analogue circuitry is totally fucked, the only oscillator that works is the noise generator

yeah, but they have amazing cutoff abilities

True, but they're fun as hell to circuit bend and if you break one it shouldn't be too hard to find a new one, they are still being made.

lols abound in here

mine won't let me sync up with her midi thru, and midi in doesn't always work

maybe i should go for a kenton modification?

and let's not mention the tempo incompabilities, ahe always complains that my transfer finishes way too quickly

You can buy 303s in supermarkets in Spain, as clearly shown in

Mosca will tell you the software version works just fine for him.

I was looking into a good modular girlfriend but there are very little components available, I hope this will change in the near future.

Did see some cheaper ones in Brazil but they all had dongles!?

theres awlways storyies about fuckers getting 303's for 20 dollars or someshit on fleamarkets and stuff like that, lucky sobs

I found a whole bunch of modular setups for free at somebodies house.

There was also a dead lady.

there i sone on ebay for 30 dollars right nw

serious acidians dont "fuck around with it" its a tool, precise slide and accent placement can make or break a track.

or a Mc-202 if you wanna go old skool...dadddwwdwdddwaaaaadddaaaaaaddd

that was wendy carlos' house; and no she wasn't dead, she just looks that way

*2500hz bandpass-filtered noise rimshot*

Wendy Carlos intrigues yet scares me.
