There was a used one in the Ishibashi used 'U-box" for like $580 a few weeks back - I almost pulled the trigger.  Earlier this year Apollo was eBaying them for around $750.  Haven't seen one in a while though.
I can't hear the forest for all the falling trees.

Tommy.

the covers and knobs were from an aged set i bought later.. you can see a slight contrast between them and the body, the original were stark white and stood out like a sore thumb so the color is somewhere between the two.


i bought it from ishibashi when they first came out for around $830 shipped, the case was another $70

I've got one of those tuners, they're pretty good.

Em, nice mini flying saucer in front of your amp there!

thanks for noticing.. they follow me everywhere but no one believes me and the tin foil hat and boots only work every other week :(

i liked the korg tuner a lot, i think i gave the people on hcfx a good laugh when i said i prefered it over the strobostomp, different stokes i guess

i don't have any of that gear now sadly, i miss the vox quite a bit

jetset - do you know a good link to Ishibashi's used section for offset's only? From what I remember one had to search through several pages of other guitars to find them.
Whoops! Nevermind, jetset. I found access to the translated pages and was able to use the search function...
