MPC 2000 Classic...

By MPCpadBanga Sat Mar 22, 2008 6:50 am
im looking into a 2000 classic... it has no 8 outs, or FX... and needs a new screen. Hes charging $300... is that a good deal or not? i was hoping there was a ghetto way to fix the screen or maybe you guys knew of a cheaper screen than MPCstuff or VSTservice. thanks in advance!

I just found a classic 2000 too in pretty decent shape. It has a line in the screen and does not have the 8 outs either. I don't know if it has the fx or not. I was gonna buy it for 200 but the jerk upped the price to 300 after I told him what it was and what it was worth. I am now buying it for 300. It's still a good deal though. As far as the lcd screen, I have no idea where else to get them. Good luck homie.

Find a Guitar center near you that has a used 2kXL. I copped mine for $500. Save up a lil' more and it'll be worth it.

2nd co-sign. If this is your first, do the XL out the gate. That Zip drive won't work in a 2k classic without modifications either, if that's what you wanted it for.

I hear you B. If you're rebuilding, I would still go with the XL.

I just copped a 2000 from craigslist with scsi zip and usb zip for $400. Great shape, new screen. However, I have to agree about the XL, 2000 doesn't read folders, I think the XL does.

Yes, 2kxl can use folders.

@ MPCpadBanga, get a 2kx

@ taxman806, you shouldn't have told him anything, you shoulda just took the deal and ran with it..

Ok everybody... first id like to thank you for making me think twice about it... $300+$230 for a 2000 classic with nothing = not such a good idea as i intially thought...

I found a 2000xl fully blown 8 out and all for $500... picking it up from JFK friday! all it needs is the variation slider and thats nuthin!
