Isn't this overpriced? http://www.ebay.com/myb/Summary?MyEbay&gbh=1 mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8532 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 - 5:15 pm:    DS-5R is no longer in production, and the new DS-6 will of course be switchable voltage, and have 2 5-pin inputs. The new DS-5 (the little one) has switchable voltage. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1735 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 - 5:39 pm:    I got a very rude response from the seller when I told him a new one could be bought for half of his price (it was listed at +/-$1200 at first) That was before I asked Mica about the "discontinued claim" and got the above (DS-6) info. He also had a Series I for sale at about top market price, which looked like it needed a lots of work on the electronics... Also he had another Series I and offered both without a powersupply (he sold a blue box not long ago) The rest of his auctions look very reasonable priced though, he also sold a very nice F-1x (old one with red knobs) for a very nice price ($399) I would guess there are much more powersupplies than there are Series I/II basses, so a very limited market (maybe about 7000-8000 Series basses out there?) So I think it will only sell if it's way below the price of a new one... I'll wait for the DS-6 :-) Have you seen my question about the possibility of some custom options on these Mica?

I've seen DS-5R go for $3-400 but the switchable voltage thing is certainly used to mislead you. Thanks for the clarification boys and girls rustyg61 Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 1668 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 - 11:06 pm:    Hey Mica, I'm intrigued by your DS-6 announcement! What are the 2 five pin inputs for, to run 2 instruments at the same time? Will they share the same bass/treble output jacks or each have their own?
