I am new to the forum so I just want to say wuzup to everybody. I put my MPC1000 on lay away Sunday at Guitar Center because they online had one left in stock. When I got home I checked my email and seen that I had won a auction for a MPC2000XL brand new with ZIP for $720. So I had to go to GC and get my money back and get the 2000XL because the value was much much better for a more expensive piece of gear. I still might get the MPC1000 later, but right now I am goin to settle with the 2000XL. Just wanted to let you all know you now have one more MPC users you can expect to hear from often and now I am part of the MPC Family, so holla back. Malik - Down N Dirty Entertainment.
