[jezzaboy]

Got this e mail from Gear4music. If you are looking to buy an Ampeg amp, you get a free Sterling bass!

I've not looked at the individual prices, but that sounds like a good deal, if you were looking to move up from your first Affinty Precison and practice amp, you could do a lot worse.

That looks great, where were deals like that when I was starting out!

GAK have the amp for much the same price and you DO get a free gift... A guitar cable... Not quite the same VFM!

Great deal, the bass sells by itself for £309 !!!

This looks a great deal, I've looked a couple of times to try and find the catch but i think its just a genuine good deal.

Must resist pessimism

My brother bought this, no catches as far as we can tell!

[ribbetingfrog]

I'm amazed this is still in offer!
Brilliant deal.

[CamdenRob]

Look like a good offer to me... Ideal for someone looking to upgrade from their first bass to a gigable setup

[dannybuoy]

Not ideal for someone trying to sell a Ray4 though!

[Donnyboy]

Now that is a good deal!

I went for this deal just before the new year, and it's still on. I only really wanted the Ampeg BA-210, so my Plan A was to get the deal, sell the Sub and V-Amp, and recover probably 50% of the money = cheap Ampeg combo! (Also a good sales pitch to the missus!) I believe G4M had the same combo for sale on Black Friday for £239 but I missed that.

Superb delivery, I ordered it just before 1600 on Wednesday, it all arrived by about 0930 the next day, delivery costs £10 via DPD.
Ampeg fine (minor ding in one rear metal corner so no big deal and that's going to happen soon anyway), V-Amp, well I played with that and I just might want to keep it. However:

Sub Bass? trashed! A big chunk taken out of the lacquer, about an inch and half long, and down to the wood Grrrrrr! So it's now with DPD and on its way back to York. Given that there were no shards in the packaging I'm guessing it was a factory error and not checked by G4M before dispatch.

Anyway, I didn't play the bass, but from the reviews on here and elsewhere it sounds like a potential keeper, so plan A may be out of the window! I have owned two EB MM Stingray's in 35 years, my dream guitar (a Banshee's and Cure fan), but I could never get on with them. Playability and tone were perfect, but they were really heavy and never fitted my frame for some reason. I am a Fender fan, but let's see what happens when the replacement Sub arrives.
