(HA!!) I bit the bullet and bought the Roland PK-5A, using >my 10% band member discount. I'm in a band with an employee of that >music store and get an extra 10% off of what Joe Blow has to pay. I've used a Roland PK-5 a while ago and it's pretty cool. eBay USA now has one for auction at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7389878225&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 If that auction doesn't work for you and you don't mind the shipping from the US and the customs, I've got one gathering dust in my studio. I'm not sure I want to part with it yet, but it occurred to me the other day that I hardly ever use it and I just bought a Roland VG-8 that I'm expecting momentarily. But maybe I should just sell it on Craigslist... I've also got an old-school bass MIDI sound module that works wonderfully with it. Contact me off-list.
