Stuee Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just managed to stop myself from completing the transaction... phew!! I just thought to myself, "Why?!!" I'm pretty sure I only wanted to buy one because it's such a good deal, and maybe because it would be another thing to nerd about with. I don't need it. Nah, I'm gonna buy an AERO1 instead! Doh!

Mykesbass Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 They've dropped the Chantry brand name - named after where their headquarters are - not the nicest part of Ipswich (and that's saying something) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazza1 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I nearly did too - the colour looks great. But then reality kicked in - I got an Aero1 for Xmas & I've just bought PhilW's VM Precision & I'm supposed to be selling basses to make way for those two. I still want one though.........

xzodar Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have to hold my hand up to ordering a white one on Tuesday. I'm hoping to turn it into a 'Sid' bass for those dodgy pub gigs. For £60 (plus a donation) it just had to be done... :-) Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'll just wait until next year when the BC for sale section gets flooded with them and remind you what you paid for them Of course you'll all want more money due to the 'extensive mods' you'll have carried out!

I think in a weeks time the build diaries will be full of these.

Muzz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Gone for a Navy Blue one - it'd be rude not to. I've just landed an SX P/J from the States that got a MM neck onto it, and was just stupendous in the studio last weekend, so I'm firmly in the Bargain Basement Modders Club now... great for indulging in GAS on a budget...

I`d expect the pickups/pots etc to be a bit ropey, but spend £150 replacing those, and you`ve got a mahogany bodied Les Paul copy for less than £250. Beats basswood Tokais & alder Epiphones for Les Paul tone. That Goldtop looks very nice indeed....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I spent ages looking for a cheap P to mod and now these come along after I paid £80 for a squier and can't be in the gang, Pah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I pulled the trigger on the sonic blue earlier too. They'll be wondering what the heck is going on! I'd love to get it router for an MM style humbucker but no one around here does it. Might have to plead on here;) I've some adhesive neck blocks and a spare set of comp stripes around somewhere is my first thought- matching pair :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
