Roland Jupiter 8

” selling my fantastic JP8 – reluctantly but that’s life I guess.

the king of poly synths: the list of songs it’s been featured in it’s too long, and keeps growing (Duran Duran, Alphaville, Howard Jones, Roxy Music and on and on).

the synth is in outstanding conditions for its age and works perfectly. the screen is bright and scratch free. all dust guards have been replaced with brand new ones.

I challenge you to find a better condition JP8 for sale in the UK!

I have bought it in 2016 and it has been kept in my studio the whole time, apart from the few repairs.
It’s a 14-bit version, 220V with European plug (an adaptor will be provided). Based on the serial it was made in June 1982.
A couple of years ago I had all sliders removed and cleaned, something that costed me a pretty penny.
It also had the Kenton midi installed (more than £600 just for that). It’s quite a fancy kit, that also allows for a primitive but effective velocity control, on top of usual midi in/out.
I include a nice JP8 specific stardust dust cover.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
