Subject:(offboard reply pls)Re: VK-1000 owner(was: Clone v Palm Gliss)

This is cool! Two instances of VK-1000 users thinking
about a chop! You know , I would really like a whole
one; it would cut down on boxes and cables in my
rig...if anyone would be interested in a trade with
cash or other gear with my chop, give me a shout
privately on manicmaestro@yahoo.com . THANKS!

Cheers
