anyone have word on the pad upgrade kit @ mpcstuff?

"OUT OF STOCK RIGHT NOW. WE SHOULD BE GETTING MORE VERY SOON. YOU CAN PLACE AN ORDER TO BE ON THE BACKORDER LIST."

Be patient. It's worth waiting. U can also order the same upgrade kit at vstservice.com.
The pad upgrade feel so much better then the old ones. I think u won't regret it.

it would make sense for akai to ship these to guitar center.

hahaha.

i like how they try to sweep things under the rug by changing the pads on new 1000s.

i got my pad upgrade from guitar center.

Yo i got mine from Guitar center too. That sht came in 2 weeks too, i paid 200 instead of 179 but hell its already overpriced anyway, if you have one in your area i recommend it.

i was at guitar center, they had no clue what i was talking about

The employee just has to call akai and order. Speak to a manager if you cant get anywhere with those washed up rockers.

I can assure you this pretty much sums up 90% of the GC staff....lolol

^^^^yup no doubt, i go in there and someone asks if i need help, then when i ask a question i already know about something the kid spills some bullsht, but i have noticed some of the managers are quite knowledgeable.

yea that's true. i have yet to speak to the pro audio manager, he would probably know what's up. the floor rookies just try to sell you stuff at my gc., they aren't very knowledgeable. it's funny watching them work over equally unknowledgeable customers though.
