Hey,

Hopefully this isn’t against the rules or anything.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to trade their Retro edition live for the original black. Definitely might be a crazy question but I would be willing to take the pay for the difference and shipping!

Happened to have bought my live 2 right before the retro was released and I really like the design on the retro edition.

(Also I live in the US)

Why? Don't you think we would have bought the black one if we wanted that one? Why not just sell yours and buy the retro? I would hurry while you can still get them.. Unlike the one retro, the live retro is not a regular production product.

Yea I know it’s kind of a weird question but was just thinking if anyone wanted to trade it would be a lot easier than selling mine and buying the retro.

Also doesn’t hurt to ask, never know if someone felt like they ended up liking the black over retro.

Thought about doing it but honestly I have a bit of gear OCD and didn’t want to deal with also wanting to swap the black pads for the grey ones and the speaker grill. Also not sure what the removal process would be like for all those parts.

Kinda wanted the whole thing to look clean and original
