Just bought used 404, Seems fishy...

[CleanGreenShirt]

Hey guys, just joined the group! was droolin' over the sp 404 so I picked one up via craigslist. (Duhn duhn duhn)

dude sold to me for 200 bucks. Was in immaculate condition, he said he used a lot for a year, but seemed to work fine.

Got it home and it seems buggy to me. Sensitive to movement (crackles in playback), volumes jump in sample playback too. the effects don't always work, and can't seem to rec long samples on the re-formatted card.

I'm wonderin' should I pawn off and re-buy?

this is pretty much the same problem as the last guys post, you should read that thread.

but i think it may be the card you are using, some work 100 percent others can be glitchy if it isn't compatible

as for the effects that sounds like it may be the machine itself..
even if you do have to send it in though, itd still be cheaper than buying it new

Fuck that, you know where that fool lives. Go to his house with a ski mask and do work till you get what's owed you.

This is exactly why you should always suggest to meet at a public place like an In-N-Out burger to sell your shit.

Sorry to hear about your 404 man.

I hate craigslist! Last week this crackhead tried to sell my girlfriend this rigged up old bike that broke as soon as he pulled it out of his trunk.

Do you still have that guys number that sold it to you? If so, I'd try calling him back.
