Its my birthday today! Which means now i have enough money for either a 303 or a 404. The only problem is i dont know which one to pick. Does anyone have anything to say to sway my decision towards either the 303 or 404?

Happy birthday! I'd say 404 - it does everything the 303 does plus more. Of coz somehow the 303 holds that OG madlib status and might look cooler.. but get a black faceplate to your 404 and your street cred is back to it's normal level.

...and yes the 404 is battery operated also so you can make beats anywhere. Go to your local park, connect the 404 to the biggest possible boombox available. Plug a mic to the 404 and have a dope-ass live jam.
I tested this last summer and it works I tell ya.

lol, yea thats why i wanted the 303 because i heard you can get the exclusive madlib kit with everything already sequenced. *sarcasm*
but really, the real reason i was debating between the two is because the 303 is cheaper but i guess you get what you pay for so the 404 is what im probably gonna get.

Happy Birthday Man

Yup, happy b-day. I'd go with the 404.

yeah man, get the 404 but more important, have a good birthday

happy sp-b-day!!! my vote 4 the 404...i dont use the 303...but is amazing also in this sp-family...

thanks for all the happy b-days. im gonna get the 404, do they sell used ones at guitar center?

You might be able to find an old floor model somewhere, but I'd look on craigslist or ebay.

so how young are ya?

18, now i can get a job too. My parents didnt really want me to get one because of school and stuff. But yea, im gonna hopefully get my 404 today if guitarcenter has used ones because i dont have paypal to buy things online.

right on... you still got 3 years left to enjoy before you start your long decent...


just playin homie. happy b-day.

even though i said i would get a 404, i decided to get the 303. it was only $180! im pretty excited right now.

^thats a pretty good deal, have fun
