ha ha! The seller on Amazon has dropped the price to £14.50... but increased the postage to a tenner. Making it the same price as before.

the first "hi-fi" I ever had was a Matsui! Record player, twin tapes, and the world's worst graphic equalizer! And a whopping 7.5W RMS.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1506547919' post='3379541'] It could be that they know that they're entering an already flooded marketplace with a product that no one really needs, and that they'll probably only sell them to owners of their electronics as a result of brand loyalty. That makes the number of cabs they think they can sell quite small, which raises the cost of building them, so they're pricing them accordingly. [/quote] Could be. I also have a hazy memory of something from Economics at school - that Perrier water (I think it was them. Or another expensive water brand) was not originally called that name. It was something else and it was sold at a LOWER price that the other brands. It didn't sell at all - it was viewed as cheap. So it was rebranded and sold at a price 50% HIGHER than everyone else and it sold. It was now viewed as exclusive and luxurious. Same product. Just changed the bottle.

Yay for Brexit! (Sorry, but I had to do that!)

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1506527470' post='3379373'] Just use a Helix into a monitor/PA or even powered cab/bass amp into cab...far more flexible for bass. [/quote] That's what I do if I don't have to keep moving my gear. Helix into Yamaha DXR10 powered cab. It's brilliant.

[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1506521400' post='3379313'] Here I go again....... The cabs are made in the UK 410 is $1399 in US and £1295 at Andertons looking at a conversion rate why is it pro rata £250 cheaper in the US considering they are made on these shores..... I'm not knocking the product, I have not heard enough and they may be worth the money, but....: [/quote] Vat. US prices don't have VAT. It just seems that if they are being made here they are still applying the same shipping overhead to all of them.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1506520540' post='3379308'] Batting from the other side, i would question why the drummer never followed it up after it was first mentioned. We know know he is disorganised, but i also believe it was mentioned he is also an adult ;-) [/quote] No one said he was an adult. They said he was a drummer.

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1506516684' post='3379278'] I'll second that! I wonder they're smoking?! Are there any other 4x10s out there that cost that much? Eude [/quote] Some Epiphani ones do. Not sure about anyone else though.

and 84lb in weight when most of the world wants lightweight. That's 35lb heavier than the BF Four10.

[/quote] Almost the same as the Euro conversion then. No way is that selling enough. DG appear to have jumped the shark.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1506513997' post='3379248'] Ultimately, it's a lot of money for a 2x10 and 4x10. I'd rather use it to get a Barefaced. P [/quote] That. I just don't get the business idea of pitching a new 2x10 at a money level twice as expensive as BF, Berg, or Vanderkley. I can't see DG shifting enough to make it viable against that competition.

There's quite a few guitar amps where the pedal is optional. For all we know Doug did some market research and found that most people don't change tone on the amp and decided to offer the amp at a lower price because the pedal wasn't included.

The Barefaced Two10 is £519 and is awesome. I can't see the value in a 2x10 at £900!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1506502711' post='3379134'] Who is making the cabinets? That is serious cash for a 2x10. [/quote] Don't know - rumours were of a UK builder.

[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1506502622' post='3379133'] My interpretation in the website is no footswitch at all included Footswitch The Footswitch jack allows you to remotely engage and disengage the Microtubes Engine via our Intelligent Footswitch (sold separately). Hold the footswitch to Mute the amplifier. The VMT/B3K push button will remain operational with the Intelligent Footswitch plugged in. * Use a regular mono instrument cable to connect the amplifier to the footswitch. * Remove the cable from the footswitch jack in the rear panel if you want to control the amp from the front panel. * The Microtubes 500 will only work with our proprietary Intelligent Footswitch or Super Intelligent Footswitch (both sold separately). A generic Footswitch will not work with the Microtubes 500. That is naughty.... [/quote] Blimey. That's not good.

'm assuming you get the 1 button footswitch with it like for the M900, and that the multi swtich is optional? The multi-one has a flaw in that settings that work for the B3K circuit don't really work for the VMT circuit, so there's not a lot of point swapping between them. I leave the B3K setting on all the time anyway - with a very low drive level. Then hit it with an AO if needed.

Thread on the new ones http://basschat.co.uk/topic/312508-new-darkglass-products/

Can't find GBP prices yet but CONVERSION 2x10 - £908 4x10 - £1268 Amp - £745 No doubt the UK prices will be higher in reality. Because of the thing that cannot be named.

[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1506494793' post='3379062'] Bigwan I think you are right, but if you can do it and people buy into it, why not?! I too had an M900 head, clean circuit s very good and intuitive, I see they have taken away the frequency selection points for the 500, it is a real shame that they do not push the clean as much as they do the dirt so people know. The whole marketing campaign aid 4 announcements for September, shock horror, it's a mini version of a pedal less than a year old, 2 Cabs (I would put cabs as 1) and a 500w head which new is more expensive than a second hand 900 which you can flip a switch to attenuate anddecrease the wattage from 900 and soncoild use with a One10 anyway. Only addition is the headphone jack and a DI unaffected by master volume Also in true Apple fashion, extras are optional and have to be purchased such as the footswitch, that's a bit naughty [/quote] Frequency buttons are there - but only 2 options per, rather than 3

I must admit I rarely take mine out (rack and controller) but that's just because I'm currently playing in an educational trust group with a load of ensembles and room changes. I'm not setting up and breaking down 6 times on a saturday morning! So I take bass, amp, cab, and a compressor.

That is lovely. Would be my perfect YOB bass. I'm very jealous.
