I understand why you're defensive over it for obvious reason, but looking it objectively, do you honestly see no issue with the pricing strategy??
-
Have to say, the business side of Panda seems a little chaotic. What is this sale for?? I feel they're at real risk of irritating a lot of their customers, considering this, DV247 prices, presale prices, the bundle price from less than a week ago...
-
Little update on mine. Cannot express how GOOD the OC-2 and OS sound going into some Chorus on the Quad Cortex, learning to love bass synth again 😁
-
Adore this bass! What are those extra holes on the front of the headstock from?? -
Whilst good advice often given for this kind of thing, its no excuse to just ignore emails. If a shop chooses to trade online but don't actively respond to emails, they're doing it wrong. As a working full time 9-5 fella, I don't really want to spend my lunch hour on the phone and shops are closed either side of my working day, so I will almost always choose to email.

That would come to £328 altogether from DV247 at the moment, so with current currency conversion rate it works out about the same, but does the Panda price include VAT and delivery?? Sorry to keep banging this drum, but I'm still confused by how much cheaper DV247 is! 😅

My fave pedal at the moment It's almost therapeutic when you learn to love it!
-
😅 I'm sure you're right, but I literally can't stand having to use desktop editors or midi to change settings. I've owned a Quad Cortex for years now and still haven't once opened the desktop interface. 36 going on 76 😎

Hi Matt, I am concerned that you say the warning gave no advice? The below text was included in the informal warning you have acknowledged:- Hi there! Don't panic - this isn't a 'warning' as such - just a note to say that on Basschat we don't allow 'what's it worth' type posts in the open forum, because sometimes people use them to post items for sale without placing an advert. Subscribing members have access to a special valuation forum in the classifieds section, which is the best place to ask something like this. If you're still struggling to value your item, have a look on here by searching for your item in the marketplace forum, perhaps someone has sold one before. Another idea is to check eBay for 'completed' and 'sold' items. If you still can't find out, ask yourself what's it worth to you? You can list it with a rough (and realistic) price, then ask for offers in that range. We are working on a 'value your kit' service but in the meantime if you are really struggling for a price please feel free to email any details, including a picture or two if possible to [email protected] and we'll do the legwork for you. Did you not see this? As this would be an issue that the Admin team need to pick up as a bug.

You missed off artificial scarcity I don't begrudge success, but as a businessman I don't like how he operates, ever since Darkglass Gate. But that aside, I wasn't saying it in a negative way, more just astounded.
-
Of course, but still?!
-
$110,000 in 24 hours, how many builders are raking that kind of money in?
-
Has anyone got any clips of it in a full mix? I feel like the synthy elements may sound great solo'd but lost a little in a mix, would love to hear it in context.
-
Funnily enough, I actually think the opposite. The Octabvre and Photon are just clones of other pedals, tweaked of course, whereas the Doom is actually something original, I think anyway.
-
£300 before customs charges, assume somewhere around £330 landed, pretty steep. Think the last 3Leaf product I ordered from the US was an original Doom from a music store for $179, and that shop marked it down for customs too.
-
It's promising to hear that they're selling well at least! Pedal(s), I've gone for an Octavius Squeezer/OC-2 combo, with a bunch of modulation blocks on the Quad Cortex. I'm absolutely in love with the Chunk, the filter and fuzz circuits are outstanding even before considering the VCO, and despite the interface from hell, I actually love being able to program everything on the pedal itself, without an external interface.
-
The price is about right really, considering the costs of the far east Dingwalls and similar. Basically the same cost as a new StingRay, so even at production line level rather than handbuilt, its still not overpriced really, provided it is indeed built in the US.
-
I'd agree after a year of sales perhaps, but a few weeks? And I assume the number of units sold so far won't be massive. I dunno, I didn't buy one, but I think i'd be peeved if I did. Hell, the Quad Cortex came down by £100 after two years of me owning one and I was irked by that 😂 It's interesting, as around a month ago I was strongly considering buying one of them, had it in the basket etc, but I ruled it out as I couldn't stretch my budget past £300. I went a different synth route instead (a route I'm VERY happy with) so its no longer a goer for me, but yeah, if they'd sold it direct for that price, I'd be part of the club by now.
-
The shop price is delivered and includes VAT. I think at the intro price ordered direct it landed at around £330, based on a calculation I saw a few pages ago. So yeah, the first buyers given the special pre-order deal seem to have paid a 30% or so chunk more than anyone can presumably order one now, which I find odd to say the least.
-
I may be mistaken, but i'm 99.9% sure the intro price was 299 euros, regular price 359 euros, plus a hefty shipping charge and the fees that come with it. £258 delivered is a massive saving. What's going on?
-
May well do, but they're still selling them now. I ruled it out as I had it landed in the UK at somewhere around £330-£350 including VAT duty , fees etc, and that was the special cheap pre-order price... I think I'd be more than miffed if a few weeks after I supported the launch, they were available at a shop for almost 30% cheaper.

https://www.musicstore.com/en_GB/GBP/Panda-Audio-Future-Impact-V4-Bass-Synthesizer/art-BAS0012661-000 Is it me, or is £258 including VAT and delivery a LOT cheaper than it was being preordered for direct??
-
At least a couple of those exist, its a custom shop option
-
The thumb is so nice, i'll even forgive you for the state of that headstock
-
It's quite unusual to get Bubinga with that kind of figuring on an eighties Thumb. It's a real special example, congrats!
