SP 404 Black Skin??

Post by PHeMoX »

Hi guys. I was just looking at buying a black skin / face plate for my SP-404, but I've only found them at Rock Shop germany.

But they're charging an insane amount of additional fees. I would pay like 23€ for the article and 20€ (!) more for shipping.

I'm not going to pay 38€ just for a face plate.

Anyone have a better shop? I really want one, but I might end up going for a style flip if it's going to cost me this much. :o

You could just take off the faceplate, underneath it's black?
I guess eBay's your best bet. I'd let you have mine, if J. Griz didn't have it :roll:

whatever i don't need it anyway

They ship it for free in Germany... :P
but you need to buy stuff for 25€ at least; the plate costs 18€.
(I'm thinking of buying another plate, too.)
Ship it to me and I send it over to you for 3,40€ only...?

...and yeah RockShop is the only shop that still got some plates left...

@Wax Inspektor: If either you or E.Simon wants to order a face plate as well, that will be more than 25€ combined anyway and in that case I certainly want to join.

Wax, perhaps it's better if I let you order and just pay on beforehand 21,40€ for it? Send me a PM if you've decided on whether you want to order a face plate yourself as well and we can work out the details. 8)

In my defense:

I do have the faceplate. I'm a slacker and winter's a bitch. COMPUTERS. It's coming. For real.

I have the perfect solution:

Just buy an SP404SX :mrgreen:

I wish I didn't use the effects much...that criptic submenu always makes it hard for me to find the cool subtone filter. At least that heavy reverb is #1 though, and on the SX they moved the DJlooper out of the submenu, that makes it easier without all the reading :(

PS: the sickest faceplate mod would be if somebody stole some of that foe rust stuff from their mom's craft supplies and did a sick steampunk-ish layer of crust over the whole plate. That would look really sick on the Kaossilator Pro or KP3. Lead poisoning, anyone?
