Kiwi Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Aren't they the same retailer who have been notching up the price of Hartke LH500 amps? Quote
Musky Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 The price hike on the LH500 is down to Hartke rather than Absolute - RRP up from £249 to £395, which obviously isn't just down to the drop in Sterling. You've got to wonder if Hartke haven't shot themselves in the foot in the current economic climate. I wonder if we'll see the RRP drop later in the year? Quote

I cranked up the 'price match', and they stepped up to the plate! (actually I could've got it from several other places but they had the stands I need, so I effectiely got them FOC!) Its definately a buyers market. So good on 'em I say..... Quote
EdwardHimself Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 £88? Might as well have just bought that instead of making up my RatBass... Nah where's the fun in that Quote
The Burpster Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 I know its almost indecent isnt it.... When petrol was at its height, that was the amount it cost to fill my Jeep with petrol....... Quote
EdwardHimself Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Mind you, it's not as cheap as my first bass, pretty much the same as this, jazz copy, sunburst, open tuners- £71 incl delivery brand new. Having said that, it was from thomann so you won't get it for that anymore! Quote
mrcrow Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 i see a white jazz for £99 as well elsewhere what can be wrong?? Quote
Matt_UK Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Absolute are based down the road from me when Im at home in Dorset and theyre alright. I had a few probs with Warwick prices...they upped the price of a Corvette $$ by £200 in a week and it hasnt come back down...but this deal is awesome, you cant really moan about that price! Quote
Dubs Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 It's almost worth buying that Jazz for the parts... Quote
KevB Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Wonder if anyone has tried buying a load of them in, sticking Fender lookalike necks on and passing them off as the real deal yet? Intertesting to keep an eye out for cheap jazzes on ebay over the next few months! Quote
