“Up for sale is a pretty hard to find Roland JD800 Synthesizer. This synth is held in very high regard as Roland’s best modern synth. At the very least its Roland’s best synth made in the 90’s for sure. If you’ve heard about the iconic JD990 Rack module.. this JD800 is what that module is based off of.. This is the O.G. for sure.
I bought this synth from Syntaur recently as I live very close to them. Syntaur if you’ve never heard of them is a mega synth store.. they have a huge collection of vintage and modern synths.. they restore them and sell them.
On this particular JD800.. they fixed that crazy problematic “red glue keybed” issue.. No longer with this JD800 be subject to that issue. They also cleaned all contacts and all faders.. leaving this JD totally fader jitter free. If you have been waiting for a JD to crop up without these major JD issues.. this is the one. They also repaired a few keys. NOTE.. The side plastic end cap is cracked.. that’s how they got it, that’s how i got it. I don’t think it will incur any further damage ( get worse ) BUT it should be stated that it may crack a little more in transit so if that is an issue with you, please do not buy.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
