Looks pretty decent if it can be had cheap. Seller says fx don't work....I wonder how bad the mpc bay is messed up. Right now at $59 with a couple of days left so it might be a great deal (especially if you don't care about the mpc part) on a player.

Except for the neck binding issues, this one looks pretty clean, could be a gem for someone. The electronics could just use a good cleaning (pencil eraser, deoxit, battery terminal), but being this is a guitar store, you'd think they would have checked into those things, and offered a better description... Buyers, roll them dice.

the switch looks to be a on/off for the battery. someone may not have understood how the stereo jack acted as a turn on switch for the battery, and installed it, or replaced the jack with a standard one.... that could be part of the issue with the electronics....

that's a good point, I imagine it could be like the Frankenstein monster inside that MPC schematic now.....

I sold for $382 +$100 shipping, which to me is about $440 + normal shipping. That's exactly what the other sweet looking one (with good mpc elect and 2 working modules) got snagged out from under me for.

It's okay, because it led me too a APii R80 in great shape.....but I digress

Hope someone on here got it!
