It a japanese site that makes buying **** in Australia way cheaper.
They have KP3's for 33600 yen which is about 320 AUS instead of the ridiculous 700 AUS RRP they have here. Also they have the mini Kaoss pad for about 130AUS.
I bought my DD-20 from this site for 300AUS less than the Aussie RRP. Shipping was pretty cheap too.

my band uses this Invalid Link Removed the micro kaoss pad an I love it. I've never had a go of any of the others but I've seen demos of them and the noises that it produces are really good but you don't seem to get the same control of manipulating the sounds etc. We run ours through a micro korg and we're perfectly happy with it.
Awesome! Nice. Thanks mate
I get a lot of my stuff cheap from the states... I would never buy anything local. Support the economy and all 
I'll check out ishibashi! Shipping should be cheaper from Japan to Au.
Normally around the $35 US mark. Budget for $50 US and you should have no problems. At the moment we are about 93 cents to the dollar too
Awesome! Nice. Thanks mate
Yeah, all my pedals are either used or shippinh from various locations around the world. Bass gear is just too expensive here, and being in Perth, there i practically only one store with cool bass stuff - but naturally they can charge what they like.
The American price is $400, but you shouldn't pay more than $325 if you're a good haggler.
Mine may be as low as $300. Um... cause I'm a great haggler.

Which store are you referring to?
Music Park has some good stuff, and I like Concept Music and Kosmic (the obvious choice, though their customer service leaves a bit to be desired) too.
Concept Music is my a store of choice. Graham is great with customer service and they has easily the best selection of bass amps and some great basses too. Plus quite a few bass dedicated effects that other stores don't have. Kosmic would be ok if you only like ampeg/eden.
Unfortunately all the music stores are pretty average around my area. All retail prices.
Have you been to Music Park? Great selection of basses, plenty of nice high end stuff. I do agree though, Graham is cool and their amp selection is probably better than Music Park.
Sorry for resurrecting another old thread but has anyone slapped a kaoss pad and a bass together yet? What are the results?
Haven't done it yet, but I am going to use a potentiometer + micro control to control it from my bass and not have to mount it in there.
