toad Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I ordered a S&D X8 from AMS for 1650.00 on 5-payments. Got it thur before the long weekend. It came with a new corner dent from UPS(had him mark his papers).It plays and functions ok to my knowledge. No manual, No A.C. cord, nothin' but the keyboard and a very used soft box with not much pading in it. Since the box lost it's shape all of the foam had slid to one side so most of the area's was just the unit and soft cardboard. Should I return it and spring for the G8 anyway or just keep it and be thankful for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDragonSoun Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Send it back but don't get a G8. Either get another Fantom X or something else like a Korg M3 or Yamaha Motif XS. The G8 has too many issues and is too similar to the Fantom X, especially in the sound department. You could get better sounds with the Fantom X and four SRX boards or with the other keyboards I recommended.

delirium Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 yeah, send it back. You'll have hard time selling such board later on. You can get brand knew X8 for not much more, especially if you pay in installment plan. ...and let UPS learn a lesson too. ♫♫♫ motif XS6, RD700GX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toad Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Ok I'll send it back, and I do apreciate your fast responses. I'll probably just get a new one. yeah your right the re-sale value on my end would probably be low like 1200.00 or so, so I better get rid of it now. O'well at least I got to spend some time with it over labor day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
