danbowskill Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Just a flabergasted whinge. For the ammount of components used in the WM + the same old artwork used(so that factors out) Thomans new pricing for the zvex mammoth seems a bit of a rip [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/zvex_woolly_mammoth.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...lly_mammoth.htm[/url] £287!!!!! Silly price,There must be a lot of muse fans to take advantage of out there? Edited May 23, 2015 by danbowskill Quote
GazWills Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Part of me says fair play to him, if people are prepared to pay that then why not charge it! But yeah, ridiculous when you consider how simple they are, and (IMO) that they don't sound [i]that[/i] amazing. Quote
zacclowes Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Clones are easy to find. Or buy one second hand and you won't loose much money if you want to sell it on eventually Quote
danbowskill Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) i'm not after buying 1. But You would have thought with the amount of clones and kits around the original would come down to compete? I know they shouldn't have to with folks copying their design, but I would be in their shoes?I also agree,without a blend I'm not a huge fan of the sound....gets lost in a mix Edited May 25, 2015 by danbowskill Quote
ChunkyMunky Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 A clone kit would cost how much? Yeah, I'd rather not. I'd rather get a clone and cover it in shagpile. Quote
Bassnut62 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 [quote name='danbowskill' timestamp='1432563392' post='2782678'] .....without a blend I'm not a huge fan of the sound....gets lost in a mix [/quote] Run it after a decent compressor and it is a thing of great beauty and stays very present in the mix; and of course only use it with a passive bass. Don't know how close or good the clones are though...... Quote
