Gray Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 Hi Guys, I've had a few offers - I'm going to let this thread run till next friday if everyone is agreeable. I don't want to appear cynical in my quest for cash on this one but frankly I need the money ! I will let all people who have made offers know by the end of the week. Many Thanks Gray
Dubs Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 You might get more offers if you publish the offers you've already had? Is this like a silent auction?
Gray Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 Hi, Ben - yes I agree, however, I'd not be comfortable publishing offers made via PM. If anyone wants to make me their best offer within the thread please feel free. Cheers Gray
Kev Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 i think it would be better if the auction wasnt a silent one, and that offers should be made in the thread?? it would certainly encourage more offers, and almost certainly will get you a better price
Gray Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 Hi, If anyone wants to make an offer in the thread that is fine by me - but if people are more comfortable pm'ing thats equally good. Cheers Gray
Gray Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 Hi guys, I'm ending this on friday - so if your interested please let me know before then with an offer. Cheers Gray

The reason this hasn't been ebay'd is because it galls me less to sell this to people who might actually make use of it, and doesn't seem unfair to ask for best offers in this forum. Unless anyone has an issue with that ? Cheers Gray
Kev Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 whats the highest offer so far, just so we know were its at?? you dont have to say whos offer it is, but i think for the benefit of potential offerers it should be known

I assume that the person who has made the offer won't take offence. The current highest offer is £300. Cheers Gray
Kev Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 good stuff, nice offer too, considering the last one on here went for £250 iirc man i miss mine..
Gray Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 I know I'm going to regret selling it to be fair - I spent a very long time finding one after dabbling with various other synth pedals. The tracking (it will track down to a low b with no glitching) and editing on it is incredible, but its a case of needs must at the moment sadly. I don't know why Akai insists on stopping making great pieces of guitar kit. I've got a Hexacomp as well which I wish I had brought another 20 of just to make sure I'm never short of one.. Gray

crez5150 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I'm just missing the hexcomp from my set up..... worth buying one then?
Gray Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 [quote name='crez5150' post='285324' date='Sep 16 2008, 07:20 PM']I'm just missing the hexcomp from my set up..... worth buying one then?[/quote] Yep - I would certainly say so. The flexibility of being able to do multiband compression with a graphic is amazing if your used to losing all the top end when you hit the compression (without buying a couple of grands worth of TC mastering compressor) It sound great on drums as well. I'm not aware that any other manufacturer has ever made anything similar either - which seems to me a big gap in the market for some bass playing electronics wizard out there.
