Okay so some of you guys know that I have been in the market for a 2500... Got about half the money now!!!

Well yesterday I went to GC to mess around with the 2500 on display. I was there for about half an hour to an hour playing with the thing. That machine is so nice!!! Ah... The pads are so soft. The chop shop is dope... And that screen... I fell in love... I couldnt sleep last night. I got like 3hrs of sleep. =\

I need help... LoL Mad Lust.

Yeah man I should have one by October. I got a little over $300 right now and I should have over $700 by next week as long as my grind stays steady. :wink:

I cant wait to have one chill'N in my room bumping beats. When I was on it everything was just flowing so easy. The work flow is great, the screen is big (great for me cuz my eyes are bad), the pads were soft and the machine just looks like its ready to knock some fvckn heads off. LoL

Im bumping your album right now... So far its cool. 8)
Good lookN peace...

lol ur worse than me i know that feeling of wanting something so bad.
but maybe my story will give u a lil bit of hope cause how i got my mpc is a miricale.

i been chating to this guy on irc for over 2 years and basicaly chat to everone he knows, im from africa lol so not alot of people want to ship mpcs internationaly. i asked everyone if i could trust this guy and everyone said yes u can. so i asked him to buy the mpc for me on ebay i payed 1000 us, its hardly been used looks almost new. so he wins the bid i give him the money so he could pay the guy and have the mpc shipped to hes house, he gives me the tracking number so i could see how it ships to hes house, gets to hes house he takes a pic and everything to show me he got it. (here comes to miricale of how u can sometimes think someone is messing u about and they just suprise u). so he has to send it to me, i beg and beg he says he send it and they send it back something was wrong, then i couldnt get ahold of this guy anymore he wasnt on msn or irc and i told hes friends to speak to him and stuff. lol about 4 months later of beggin and stuff hes friend gives me a tracking number for dhl, im thinking lol they probably gonna send it back again, cause acording to this guy they send it back 3 times. he spoke to hes friend at dhl so he got alot of discount and used dhl express. ho and behold it arrives and didnt even cost that much. so lucky for me i didnt get screwed over, and waiting 4 months with ur money in someone else hands u never even met is a nightmare lol so hang in there man, u will get ur mp and then its happy times, look at me that was pretty much a case of thinking oh boy the guy took my cash, he was just realy busy with both school and work and is very lazy loool and it being sent back 3 times didnt realy make it easy either...

WOW. :shock:

Thats one crazy story... Miracle it is... Well good luck with your 2500 man. Im still using my 500 right now though.

What part of Africa are you from? I think you might be our only member from the continent of Africa. We mainly got US people, Canada and guys from Europe.

Thanks for the story man.
Peace

Have you heard of MODE 9? They are pretty nice out there, I don't know where they are from in Africa but they are pretty nice with the beats and the emcee is nice as well.

in all honesty i hate the way the 2500 looks and feels. el cheapo.


workflow is great... when the pads work right. yeah all you have to do is readjjust them and they will go back to normal but the thing is jsut cheapy for real. i love working on it butit looks like craap and is built like craap. i would probably tradeit for a new black 1000 or a 2000 or 3000 or anything else really.


mabye if i replace the screen to the white one and powder coat it baby blue i will like it... with wood sides... mmmmm
