“SOME HAVE SAID THE ROLAND PARAPHONIC 505(ALSO CALLED RS 505) IS THE BEST STRING MACHINE ROLAND EVER MADE. IT’S ACTUALLY MORE THAN THAT, IT’S ALSO A SYNTH W/ A SPLIT FOR BASS. SYNTH AND STRINGS HAVE FULL POLYPHONY. WITH VARIOUS SLIDERS NICE BALANCES CAN BE ACHIEVED. IT HAS MANY 1/4″ JACKS AT REAR FOR INTERCONNECTING W/ OTHER CONTROL AND EQUIPMENT OPTIONS. ALL SLIDERS,KNOBS, AND KEYS ARE WORKING. THE ALUMINUM STRIP ON TOP HAS SCRATCHES. THE END CAPS CAN BE REPLACED OR EASILY REFINISHED. IT IS SOLIDLY BUILT, IT PLAYS GREAT, THOUGH BECAUSE OF IT’S AGE I’M SELLING IT AS IS / PARTS AND REPAIR BECAUSE OF ANY POTENTIAL PROBLEM ARISING OF SHOCK IN HANDLING IN THE SHIPPING LANE. I WANT TO ASSURE THE BUYER I WILL PACK IT THICKLY AND AS SAFELY AS I CAN. THE STAND IS NOT INCLUDED.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
