Vintage ARP 2600 Synthesizer RARE - $4800

"I have a vintage Arp 2600 that I'm looking to get sell. It was previously owned by Roger Waters, and is now in the Thievery Corporation (ESL) studios. Its in great condition, but currently taking up too much space in the studio. It is complete with the matching cases, and we are having it serviced right now to ensure that everything is working properly before being sold. If you would like to see pictures, please let me know! We can even provide the receipt for the work as soon as its done.

I have seen ARPs in worse condition sell on ebay for $4,500+, Considering the history and the condition of this particular ARP, we would like to make sure we are getting what it's worth."

We haven't had a poll in a while, so why not...

Update: click here for some images of the unit courtesy of daddio of tapewarm who contacted the seller.

Udpate: and a response from the seller:
"I completely understand that you would like more proof, but it was meant more as a point of interest rather than the only selling point. The current owner has had it for years, and really has no way of proving that Roger Waters owned it, it was just a little bit of interesting history on this particular ARP. I can however, prove that it is in Thievery Corporation studios."

Peter Zinovieff & EMS

"Electronic Music Studios (London) Ltd. was formed in 1969 by Dr. Peter Zinovieff to market innovative ideas arising from his private studio and interest in musical applications of computers. Over the next ten years many seminal products were released and many talented designers worked for the company. EMS had its own peculiar brand of British eccentricity which could be both endearing and annoying, but should be viewed in the context of true pioneering. It is easy to copy and follow others, but not to think up new ideas in the first place and EMS had no shortage of originality. The EMS influence was significant and can be traced into many contemporary products." Click here for the full article including more images.

Roland Juno 60 Van Halen Jump by JimmyPound

YouTube via synthartist69.

"Here is a Video of the Juno 60 in action. I programmed the jump patch from an analog brass sound by changing the cutoff, resonance, Attack, and chorus. The secret to getting a good Van Halen OBXA patch lies within the boundaries of a good chorus delay or reverb effect. This version is not exactly right, but it works. I played the bridge two different ways throughout the song and both are an easy variation of the original. Same goes for the synth part under the guitar solo. Hope you enjoy!"
