rmorris Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Anyone have opinion on this Synth Bass / Envelope Follower ? I have one and thinking of selling it - but would be good to hear opinions as I haven't tried Akai Deep Impact etc. Cheers. Quote
thisnameistaken Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 It's the best bass synth you can get? Certainly sound like it to me, but I've never had a chance to try one myself. Quote
Toasted Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I liked the G5. It was quite big, and the patching system was quite strange but I liked some of the synth noises. Quote
Kev Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 from sound samples iv heard, i prefer the akai, i came close to buying one of this forum off some guy, but i decided against it. im waiting for the chunk systems synth personally... Quote
Musky Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I've got one of these. Tracks very well and some great sounds (as you probably know). I haven't tried much else to compare it with though - a brief try of a SBY5 revealed that it was pretty rubbish compared to the G5, and my guitar micro synth, though nicely wibblesome, doesn't really hack it with bass. Some people seem to consider it the best bass synth out there though. I haven't had mine out of the box in years as there isn't a lot of call for it in a 60's style garage band. Quote
rmorris Posted June 18, 2008 Author Posted June 18, 2008 thanks for the feedback on this people. I've had a look at the bank balance and think I'll have to sell it although it can be a lot of fun. Pondering whether to put it up in the sale section here or go straight to ebay / ebid . I guess I'm looking at £s somewhere between a Boss SYB thingy and an AKAI Deep Impact so I'll do some research.

Kev Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 boycott ebay, save yourself the fees, sell it here Quote
Toasted Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) If you can get a fair price here, it's better than ebay IMO. I sold my last G5 to a fella in the US for $350 + shipping. Edited June 18, 2008 by Toasted Quote
Kev Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) that last one sold on here i thinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk went for £135 few months back edit: £125, close enough [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5818&hl=g5"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5818&hl=g5[/url] Edited June 18, 2008 by BassManKev Quote

Recent ebay charges changes + compulsory Paypal as means of payment to be offered have dulled the ebay appeal somewhat. Some people reckon ebid is a better alternative if enough people switch allegiance but I heard ebay was bidding to buy it ? Anyway, I was hoping to clear around £130 so I guess I should take this to the sale forum now - will probably be there sometime on weekend when I have taken photo. Will just mention that I am in Brighton in case anyone fancies a no obligation try out. Thanks again for your feedback. Quote
