any studio tools you can get for under 1000 dollars is a bargain
IF ITS IN GOOD CONDITION ..

what other equipment are you currently running will dictate if you need
the sp 808 .. dont just buy it cause it cheap .. buy it because it will
enhance you studio ..

REMEBER: :idea: its not what ya got ... its what ya do with what ya got 8)

I had the SP 808 for awhile, gave it to my friend now. Thing is dope. I created my first album on that thing. I used it for a recorder and to throw samples into songs. I also made a ton of dope beats on it but it doesn't really sequence well. Your gonn ahve to put in alot of time to learn how it works with song mode if ur trying to make a beat. I'd pick it up for 300, I still miss mine a lil. Alot of features. for making beats thou cheap try and find a used Ensoniq EPS or EPS 16+, good stuff.

Peace.
