Hey all!

I've been trying to track down a good deal on a TC Electronics rig - reckon I'm going RH450, RS210 and the floor controller.

Now, having some Yorkshire heritage, I'm a bit scared of laying down over a grand in one go - Christmas is coming up and a girlfriend who has been made redundant from her job doesn't really help matters.

I know sense says to wait but the amount of gigs I have lined up and having no transport makes it difficult to lug around my 'full-size' gear.

Anyhoooooooo - back to my question.

Has anyone bought from Bonners?

Their prices seem decent and, more importantly, they offer a buy now pay in 6 months at 0%, also 24 and 36 months finance.

Please let me know good or bad :)

Got my RH450 and foot controller, RS210 and RS212 from Bonners Eastbourne. No problems, good service and what's more the TC gear is fab!

Go for it I say!

Hope this helps

Cheers UB :)

That's added to my 'I need this TC gear' thoughts and also given me some reassurance about dealing with Bonners.

Was going to get the 210 and RH450 and if I need a little more bottom (ooooer!) might sling that cute 112 underneath which would also bring the height of the rig up a little more.

But that's for another spend :rolleyes:

My uni campus was in Eastbourne (not what I had hoped for up for when applying to Brighton uni!) and i had a few dealings with Bonners but obvisouly in store and not mail order. Like most music shops some of the staff are a bit suspect but on the whole they were decent people and the managers and such were helpful. Customer service was good and they were quick to sort out any troubles I ever had.

I think you will be fine.

They haven't got it listed but as they're having to order TC stock in (will be there within a coupla weeks) you may be able to order that in.

I've had an email discussion and replies have been quick, friendly and helpful thus far.

When I have my deposit from selling my rack stuff I may be tempted into asking about the 112 as well.........

I'll let you know if you don't find out before me :)

It's all sounding good to me.

Thanks - I feel your pain with ending up in Eastbourne and not Brighton. Just a bit of a difference in vibe there :)

Nice one dude.
Let me know how you get on.
I won't be able to move on anything anytime soon, so I guess you'll know sooner than me :rolleyes:

Cheers,

Still trying to sort out finance but the good news is that they'll be stocking the RS112 shortly priced at £349.99.

That's awesome and terrible news my friend :rolleyes:
I might have to look into selling my lil' rig and investing in a TC Classic head and 2 of those 12" cabs now... :)
What set up have you ended up plumping for?...

Bonners are.. good. I live in Eastbourne, and wherever I see a price, I know that I can get it cheaper (mostly from gak.co.uk or in store). eg. I got my fender american 2008 standard jazz bass from gak.co.uk for £769 and they're doing them online for £959.00. Now I;m not sure what year that is, but they can't have got £200 better in the last year. I mean, I'd say shop around, and you'll be sure to (usually) find a better price. But for service they're excellent. And yes, why the hell is there a Brighton Uni campus here?!

Glad and happy to help fella :rolleyes:

I'm putting my deposit (that's a monetary deposit!) down tomorrow for the RH450, RS210 and the pedal board :lol:

I've decided, if/when I start playing larger venues or more open-air festivals I'll sling a 112 underneath or perhaps a 212 if I'm suddenly rich :lol:

Oh yeah!!!



I like the classic but I decided that for the extra money having those presets and having the lights is worth it - especially the lights...... Heheheheheh

Thanks for that buddy.

I checked GAK and load of others but Bonners is the cheapest with the added bonus that they'd do finance.

As it turns out my 5 nomadic years down here in London has made my credit rating a bit pants - chances are one of the flats I lived in had a bad credit attached to it and so I'm being spanked for it and can't get finance :)

So - tomorrow I slap down 500 notes and then pay the balance when the rig touches down :lol:

I've decided to get the amp and pedal carry bag and the cover for the cab.... well.... might as well.

I CAN'T FRIKKEN WAIT! :rolleyes:

Not sure really, I was doing Physiotherapy so im guessing it might have had something to do with the demographic profile! :) I was based mainly in Meads Village which it seemed was 100% populated by over 60's.

Most of the courses were full of people I had nothing in common with though which was a little annoying........until i discovered how distracting student nurses can be.
