Well, after a couple of months of not being here at all, for reasons of boredom (no offense to anyone) and important issues in the real world. In short, I bought a synth, got ripped off, and im trying to get compensation from eBay. But, the good news is I came out of the whole ordeal with an even better synth than I would have had before. A yamaha cs6x, which I am really happy with. Its got an onboard sampler and sequencer, with some awesome filters and it sounds pretty fat. So thus begins my electronic music career (notice: i use the word "career" very loosely). Anyway, its good to see you all again. ZT |

Hi Zephyr, good to see you again. |

well, it's quite a doozy, but here goes: I originally bought a Yamaha An1x analog modeling synth from ebay for 345 total (shipping included), but after 2 months of not hearing anything from the guy (after he had already cashed the check we sent him), a piece of shit broken an1x came that was _definately_ not the one that was pictured. It was missing the power supply, a key, and all the screws to the goddamned case. Methinks he was worried of gettin nailed for fraud and sent me whatever he could. I am in the process of filing a fraud claim with ebay right now in hopes of getting some of my money back. This synth was to be my christmas present, and I had to pay 100 of it. So after not getting it, I was pretty depressed because I really want to create electronic music. Well, my parents felt really bad for me, so they agreed (as long as I payed half, and it is my christmas and birthday present now, not just xmas =p) to let me get a synth that I could really use, and I decided on the Yamaha CS6x. It cost $640 total but that is still a really good deal considering it retails for $1400. At the point of ordering my new synth, still no word of my original synth had come. Then 2 days after I ordered the new one, the original came, after we were so sure that we had gotten ripped off (although we still did, just in a different way). So there ya go, you win some you lose some I guess. If I can get some compensation from eBay though, I can get the an1x fixed and either sell it for more than I paid (345 would have been a really good deal if I hadnt gotten ripped off), or if my parents let me, keep it and get a two tier keyboard stand and have a full studio goin. ;) So there you have it, my unexplained absence for 3 months revealed. |
