Goldfilter Virus goes on sale

Coming in late on this thread, but what can you do....

I just wanna tell you fuckers what i would have done with it if I had won it (although as I didn't enter that would have been a long shot).

If I couldn't have sold it for more than a new TI would cost, I would have ripped it appart completely and put all the guts into a new box - maybe something clear and plastic. Then with the remaining bits, I would have smashed the living shit out of them and posted the youtube video - just to piss everyone off.

My moto is "If you get something for free, treat it like shit, and rub that in the faces of those who care"


Man I have missed this forum.

Hello All,

Long time no see ?

I suddenly remembered about the hilarious threads this synth produced, and thought it might be worth mentioning, since some of you were interested at the time, that I did end up selling it to a US producer mogul. Worked with Britney Spears and Beyonce amongst others, etc.

Made a reasonable amount out of it, can't remember exactly how much though, it's been such a long time ...

Anyway, it ended up paying for a bunch of things, set of Adams, a Sub 8 and some other important stuff at the time.

Anyway, just thought I 'd share ..

Cheers

Interesting story. Had to shake my head a few times while reading this thread. Think I'd do exactly what you did: a one time piece is more a collector's item then a musician's tool and if you got such a nice setup with the money, it's a good trade.

Some of their limited editions are actually a lot prettier then the originals: I like the snow and polar in black a lot more! But the golden one (did manage to find some pictures of it online) has a different impact on me, only strikes me as a luxury item and that's it!

We had some really badly treated Virus pictures of an old Indigo that's (kind of) survived a fire somewhere on this forum, also a "unique piece" in its own right. Anyway, think you should search for it and have a good laugh.

And remember: never care for the haters that lurk around the internet. cheers
