There is a new wave of Roland users and admirers...Let's stand up and be counted [noticed]..If you are thinking of moving up to a G70 or E80...please post as well..

Just this week there have been 4 new G70 owners..and the last two months ..3 more G70 and 2 E80 owners...

And now rumor has it..... Scott Yee even jumped ship for a Roland G70

wont be any from Oz...roland australia are refusing to match any of the "deals" you can currently get in the states...the best deal here is still about $4400-4600 (US 3400-3900)

miden buy it here cheap and ship it....would it still be cheaper?

Donny i tried to purchase a keyboard (Tyros 1) from US a while ago. shipping ended up being over $600 USD. ends up making it not worth it.

gotta agree with nick, the shipping just takes any advantage away...i suspect that roland, for example knows this, which maybe why they are so unwilling to compromise on their aussie prices??

Dennis, try Singapore or Taiwan. The G70 sells for US$2700. S&H won't be that much. I don't know about Singapore or even Hong Kong prices but they may be about the same or less.

Fran,

Is it polite to gloat, or should I just silently sit and just THINK....

'Told you so...!"

It an interesting history lesson to go back in the archives to the first year of posts about the G70... Trust me guys - it really hasn't changed THAT much. Why everyone panned it so bad never made any sense to me. As long as you turned off the Mastering Comp and EQ (or at least tweaked them to MUCH more conservative settings), it was always a good 'live' sounding arranger...

The new EQ and OTS features from OS3 have certainly made it more versatile, but it's been working for me for two years, now, and was right up my street from the start.

I am just perplexed by why NOW, all of a sudden?

OK, how about this?

How many of you new G70 users would pay the old street price of about $3500US for one? Or is it that it is more inside a few more people's budget, nowadays?
