sifi2112 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Just thought I'd post this thread cos I received mine today & I'm well impressed ! Was on the lookout for Hohner & had the chance to try a 'spirit' out earlier this week which I guess is similar if not a little inferior but was not convinced (apart from the price £199 ex p&p) .. anyway, I found a real Steinberger, new 4 string synapse model & couldn't resist ! 'spirit' = conference league 'synapse' = premier I'm no expert but think it's real quality .. have a rad of this email response from 'absolutemusicsolutions' "Hi Simon Robin is away playing until Monday ..you might be interested to know we had the only 2 of those basses the distributor had and they will not ever see any more and advised me to retail them at £699 each so I think you got a bargain and I am pleased to hear you love it ..enjoy..Terry On 25 Jan 2008, at 13:28, Simon Whittle wrote: Hi Robin, Received the Steinberger today .. really pleased, lovely bass .. real quality ! .. unless it explodes or implodes in next few days you shall not be getting it back ! lol Regards Simon" Just checked and they still have the other .. here's the link (btw £495 incl p&p) [url="http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/shop/view_product.php?product=steinxsbass&searchlink=yes&search=STEINBERGER&page=1"]http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/shop/view_p...RGER&page=1[/url] If someone on here buys this & likes it ... they can buy us a pint sometime ! good luck Si
Sean Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 £699? It says £550 RRP I suppose £500 notes is pretty good for one of those. Enjoy.
