I have the chances of getting a tb303 which is very expensive for me to get, I have heard the 303 only on records and have never used one. I love the sound a great deal and i would want to use a 303 to create much deeper bass sounds rather then high pitch acid techno riffs, is the 303 still in you opionion the right tool for my needs.. cheers Strawberry...... _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com -------[ http://www.tb-303.org ] ---------------------- Subscribe & unsubscribe there : http://www.tb-303.org/
