Is that excluding Vat?

 

EDIT - I've had a look at the prices. I think you've forgotten the Vat that will be charged when it arrives.

Even with VAT added that’s a great deal

Definitely!

 

I've ordered the head - £159 + vat! Madness. Andertons still showing them at £699.

 

And I've just seen they've sold out. I do have an order number so I hope I got one.

That’s really amazing. New version on the way I imagine. 

[Downunderwonder]

I don't know if that would get you the amp alone here.

If the cabs are the B-112s then thats my set up and with the help of a valve pre,compression and reverb, what a great set up it is. Only bought one cab new and the other two parts used and still cost me £700!!!! That deal was crazy!!!

Had I have seen this earlier I'd have had a pair of the 1x12 cabs, even allowing for VAT that would still have only worked out around £250~ish for them both. Bügger!

I'm guessing it's end of line blowout stock from Tech 21 so there's unlikely to be any more at that price. Unless anyone knows different?

What's the retailer? 

[fretmeister]

Thomann. 

[JohnDaBass]

All sold out

Thanks, I didn't get that from the original clues, must have been autocorrect or something. 

Lots of big blowouts going on at the moment, will keep my eye out for more deals coming up....

But then Andertons are selling TC RH750 for 349 quid!

I have owned both the VT500 and RH750 and the TC to me is a much better sounding and more flexible amp.
The VT500 D.I. out responds to the master volume on the amp, rendering that D.I. useless.

 

[DiMarco]

That said, I use valve and hybrid valve/class AB amps mostly. They just pack more punch.

Same for me, though to make life easy I used to use my Class D amp for rehearsals.

[fretmeister]

I hated the RH750.

I wouldn't buy another for £25.

I have the VT bass 500 head on the way for £174 inc vat. Crazy that it was about £50 cheaper than the pre amp DI. I was sure it was a pricing error and would be cancelled. Must be the end of the line.

[fretmeister]

Ooo I have a dispatch email!

Probably take 2 weeks to actually get here these days!

[fretmeister]

Paid my vat / import / handling and it should be delivered on Thursday. That's far faster than I was expecting.

I was thinking about selling my Darkglass head as I almost always use my Mark Bass, but now I can have a 3 way shoot out.

Exciting. Did you pay that to Thomann with the gear purchase or to the carrier?  If that arrives as forecast and the payments were smooth, that opens Thomann up for consideration when purchasing once more.

Carrier.

 

I got an email from UPS and used their payment system. They also have 'pay the driver' available in some areas.

It was a little more than expected - I accounted for VAT and the courier admin charge but had forgotten about import tax as well.

Total paid about £214. Still a massive bargain.

[cetera]

If when one of you guys get your VT 500 you decide you don't like it, please PM me!

I'm gutted I missed this offer and would be happy to pay the just over £200 it costs for the amp, VAT and import charges.

[uk_lefty]

There's a B stock one in at Thomann 148 before any other charges

Sorted! Cheers

As expected from UPS my delivery today has been delayed until tomorrow.

Ah well, I have too much work to do today anyway!
