As I understand it, a through neck would supposedly offer more sustain, but as I don't think I've ever played one I'm none the wiser. I certainly think they look better, but that's just personal taste.

Wow that's an absolute steal! I got mine for £205 brand new from Thomann. Looks like I was just in time too. They've just gone out of stock again for 2-4 weeks the day after I ordered. I may even have bought the last one they had. I'd have been gutted! I've been hanging on for the past couple of weeks waiting for a PA to come in stock that I also wanted. The PA came in and the Veyron sold out within a day of each other. Thankfully I was on the ball.

There's a black one for sale on here for £150. Absolute steal at that price.

..... and cheap! Don't forget cheap. Unbelievable value at just over £200.

I have one in Sunburst. I keep trying to tell people how good they are. Absolutely superb little basses, and they sound massive. Talk about punching above your weight.

You beat me to it.

Well I certainly didn't buy it. I'm still trying to work out what to do with a single neck.

I'd offer £1.25 for giggles but I'm scared I might win it.

I used the cabs at practice today and they performed absolutely superbly. Really clear, clean and punchy, no problems cutting through in the mix. They move a massive amount of air compared to my old single 2x10 cab, and they have loads of headroom to spare. All in all I'm well pleased with them. I can't wait for my new Veyron head to arrive now and I'll have a really great budget friendly rig.

Yeah I figured about the same based on the 2000w peak rating. Although from what I've read it holds its own against many 800w amps in direct comparison. Either way it should be more than I ever need. My new cabs are 500w combined so I should get plenty of headroom.

Bloody hell has it arrived already? That was quick! You only ordered it 13 minutes ago. 😂

Well I've taken the plunge and ordered one. Judging by pretty much every review I've read I hopefully shouldn't be disappointed.

That's sods law in action.

My cabs finally turned up today. So here's a bit of a review as promised, for anyone who's interested. Firstly the weight. Ok to be fair they're not lightweight cabs. But they're certainly not massively heavy either. Certainly much lighter than my current Bugera 2x10. The 2x10 is listed at around 23kg and I'd say that's probably about right. Surprisingly the 1x15 is noticeably lighter. Build quality wise they appear to be extremely well made and absolutely rock solid. If have no qualms about throwing them in the car and gigging them. Feature wise. They only have a single connector on the back, so no option to daisy chain the cabs. Not a problem for me as I have 2 outputs on the amp but it could be an issue for some. The connector is a dual purpose speakon / jack lead connector though so at least it gives you the option to use either kind of lead. The handles are pretty good, functional, solid and look smart enough. They're also flat and slightly recessed so it gives you the option to use or stack them sideways which is nice. The 2x10 has a built in horn which is angled upwards so it's directed towards the player. I'm not sure if this is genuinely a "feature" or just a gimmick but it seems to make sense. There is no switch or volume control for the horn so it's always on which is a bit annoying, having said that it puts out a pretty balanced sound so as not to be intrusive. In fact it's barely perceivable, but this could be a lot to do with amp setup as I tend to roll the top end down anyway. Maybe it would be more noticeable to people who like a trebly sound or play slap. Looks wise. Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I genuinely think they look really good. They look a lot better "in the flesh" than in the pictures or YouTube videos I've seen. The Tolex is well fixed and looks fairly robust, not the paper thin stuff you get on some budget gear. The metal grills are well finished and really solid. The logo's look quite nice and are more golden than they look in pictures. The whole rig, 1x15 and 2x10, is actually reasonably compact, certainly not 80's half stack or full on fridge sized. So no problems on a modest stage. Sound. Well it's early days and I haven't had much chance to play through them yet, but first impressions is they're quite neutral. Maybe what you would expect from a company more known for making hi-fi and PA speakers. It suits me as I'm happy to let the amp, bass and effects pedals create the tone, but probably not for someone looking for a particular sound. The drivers appear to be extremely well built. I turned my 300w head up full and gave it the beans and the cabs never even broke a sweat, but the house windows nearly fell out, so I'm pretty confident they'll be fine for any gig I'm likely to throw at them. Value for money. I'm very happy with them and I'd say they're an absolute steal for the price they were being sold. Fair enough they will probably have less second hand value than an empty bean can, but that was never the reason I bought them. Even then, at the price I paid I could use them as firewood in a couple of years and who cares?

To be fair, if it works then I can't fault the bloke. There are many many amazing musicians and songwriters out there that never make it. There are also plenty of crap ones who do. The only difference is marketing. If he's found a way to exploit the system then good on him. The record labels pull dirty tricks all the time, why not the artists? All's fair in love and music.

I'm firmly in the loop on the board camp. Otherwise your pedal board will constantly pick up all kinds of crap. (and I don't mean cheap Chinese pedals)

What's Richtone?

Good loves a tryer.

Definitely shiny side out. Oh no, sorry, that's tinfoil.

I have a bad back. I couldn't collect it if I won it either. I love these old rigs though. The prices they're selling for now it's ridiculous. This would have been my dream rig when I was 16.

Thanks. I'm kind of still finding "my tone" so nothing is set in stone in that regard. As the Mosfet version is currently in stock and the cheaper of the two then it seems like the logical choice.

Yeah I've been going backwards and forwards for a while on this and I think I'm definitely going to plump for the Mosfet. I just don't think a tube preamp is worth the extra cost or possible reliably issues for what it brings to the party.

Mine is scheduled for delivery today so I will update when (if) they turn up. Although I probably won't get a chance to play through them until tomorrow.

It's where they make the flour for those small loaves of bread you get with soup.
