[ B ] Looking to buy a Midibox Seq (V4 or V4 lite) in the EU

[phillwilson]

Hi there fellow midi heads.

 

this is a very genuine request for anyone on this forum who has a Midibos Seq V4  or V4 lite that they are contemplating parting with or building for a little extra funds.

 

I am a very serious dedicated all live musician, my act MyOneManBand revolves around me building EVERY track live from the ground up...to do this I use LOADS of MIDI equipment, a lot of them with very lack-lustre sequencers.

 

So I guess, this is a plea. I'm not a builder or a solderer, I wish I was, but Im just a humble musician who loves what I do, and now I have found what looks like the best tool for the job, but I am hoping that one of you has a Midibox going spare, and which you would be so kind as to sell to me to genuinely help me in my own music making.

 

here is my work www.youtube.com/phillwilson and more about me www.myonemanband.co.uk

 

I am not arich musician, I am just a normal guy but I will always try to pay what is fair for the tools I use.

 

thanks for reading, please PM me or email me at phillwilson@hotmail.com if you have anything for sale.

 

I am currently based in Belgium but will be returning to the UK in a short while.

 

thanks

 

Phill MyOneManBand.

Seriously, I think you need a SEQ V4. Unfortunately, I am located at the far end of Europe (Norway), otherwise I would seriously consider building you one to your specs.

 

Good luck! ilmenator

Thank you for your positive post, it is very encouraging. I won't give up hope :)

 

these machines are just beautiful, I have been scouring the resouces all day ;)

Hi again,

 

I have just seen this one Ebay in the UK

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200937697456&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

 

is this a legitimate sale from someone on the forum?

 

is £250 a reasonable amout to pay? it seems considerably more than the guide prices I have seen considering it looks vauguely not working in the description, but I am pretty despairate to own one so I am tempted.

 

any advice or infomation would be appreciated, and of course, anyone looking to part with either a Midibox Seq v4 or v4 lite, please get in touch.

£250 is quite a bit more than €100 parts costs plus let's say € 25 for the acrylic cases. And then it's not even working..

[phillwilson]

Yer, that was my worry too, also I don't see a relevant request to sell on the forums so I was taking this as a slghtly dubious bid ...he other part of me is still tempted though cos it is everything I need, mostly assembled...don't know, might have to sleep on this one.

 

thanks for the infomation

I wouldn´t buy it. First, it seems overpriced. Second, checking an already assembled box for errors can be a pain in the neck and very time consuming. I think it would be faster to build it yourself. And way more fun too.... The error could turn out to be a badly soldered part on one of the modules. In that case you could end up searching for days or even weeks before you find it. No fun, trust me...
