You know, that bassline thats use a lot in rephlex's music and was the staple of acid-house. It sounds a bit like squelchy water (if you can have that?!). If you don't know what it is, its that sound in the middle of that Christina Milian's song (not that I'd wathc mtv...)
Do any of you think it should be put to rest? I've heard far too many of them use far too unimaginatively and its a wonder they still sell for what they do.

I think that when used in the right place they still sound good. Check out some of Squarepusher's acid tracks - Dedication Loop for instance.

... you couldn't drop the 303 without dropping half the music we all listen to... so it's clear it is always worth the use (not if used badly/without imagination)

Monoid: Guitars are not as inflexible as the TB303 Come on, turn off your second oscillator and modulate the filter if you want acid bleeps, you will sound slightly different but that makes you more original. Almost any synth can do it and you're not stuck with that inflexible sequencer.

I miss my SH101... but always dreamed of one day owning one of them silver boxes...
I love what AFX has been doing with the 303 recently - taking the sounds into the digital realm and processing the sounds futther...taking Acid to the new level...

I have a 303, and use it ALL of the time. It's not so great to use as a stand alone, but with some effects, and creativity, I love it. It does piss me off when i run out of ideas because just a 303 by itself is pretty stale.

The wild thing about the 303 is the face that the people who created it saw it a replacement for a Bass Guitar ... I mean, how many Bassists have you heard that sound like that!! I really wouldn't wanna try & squeeze a "real" sounding bassline out of it...
And the fact that a single machine, years after being discontinued could spawn a whole new genre of music (and provide a starting place for loads more sub-genre...) is amazing...can't think of many other machines that achived such an iconic status - the 808, 909 perhaps...
Headline in The Sun this weekend.."ACID ATTACK ON THE BLAIRS"... almost bought a copy just for the headline (The Sun is generally a scummy little rag not even worth the effort of wiping your arse on..).....
