I remember playing with this at a friends place and we used the bottom layer of a patch called "Road to Goa" and after making a few tweaks to it, we found the bass to be incredible.

I almost used my jp8080 for a rolling bass number... but it was so fudged up in my mixer... I made some experimental changes to it and then saved OVER my previous mixer state -- lost it (boohoo). It was the closest I came to making the JP useful for a rolling bassline (not 'Angles & Demons (Carl B rmx)' good, but still interesting).
Otherwise, I can never get the attack and hold of the note to sound "just right" for the basslines I want.
Drone or 8th note basslines, it's prolly killer. Otherwise, I stick with my pile of software synths.
EDIT:
A well shaped noise-gate might be the firepower a producer needs to get a JP-80x0 rolling (so-to-speak). Just a theory... I'm going to have to get my 8080 plugged back-in someday and try it (when I don't have homework, papers, and other scraps piled over the desk that it use to be on).
damn i think i want this, how much would you pay for one used

They go for around $400-$600 US used. Check eBay, there are usually quite a few available.
That's where I got mine.

I paid $575 for mine off Ebay 2 years ago, and it was mint condition! Be very careful as there are a bunch that people have just banged the hell out of, and some that are missing knobs. Took me about a month of daily searches to find the perfect one.
