The second one also wasn't quite right, so again they replaced it. The third one wasn't any better that the first two so I gave up and asked for a refund which they were quite happy to do.[/quote]

The fact that you had 3 that were, for want of a better word...duff.....makes me wonder if I want one now...

Each as they find. Its great that some had good experiences, its just that mine wasnt...

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1235733' date='May 18 2011, 02:10 PM']FWIW - I mailed Thomann to ask if they had it in stock, prior to ordering. They didn't, but told me when it was due in. They were spot-on, and it was with me a couple of days later.[/quote]
Did their website show that they HAD stock????

Had a reply and they say they dont have stock....have a look on their Ebay site though and they say they do....
For those that have mentioned Thomann......I have used Thomann before...not a pleasant experience. I bought a (nearly £900) dac off them, advertised in stock, but that wasnt the case, after the wait, when it eventually arrived it was obviously a used or returned item, the packaging was an obvious clue and one of the inputs (toslink) was busted. The return process was painless enough but that was the only part of the transaction they got right. I swore there and then I wouldnt use them again.
Dont get me wrong here...I aint trying to have a dig or anything, I'm just left totally confused about the way people conduct their business.......I'm prepared to pay the price for a NEW item that hasnt seen the light of day since it left the manufacturers.
I think I'll pass until I can lay my sticky mitts on something suitable.
Many thanks for all replies and for the advice...its given me plenty to think about.

Just emailed them...awaiting their reply.

I got caught by that one.....they say they wont have any till August [b]2010[/b]...
Their previous page says they have stock

Just checked and it was 548 @Thomann
Would anyone like to comment on EffectPowerSupplies, how would they rate them as a dealer....before I drop my wedge......

The promethian has struck an interest....then I seen this...

Is someone is taking the pi$$?????

Thanks guys...I'll give it a go and see what happens.

Thanks guys.....

Thanks for the replies so far guys.
The PJ and MB were seleced for my list because they are regared as quality kit AND that they would be easy to carry and be quite unobtrusive in the house. That is an important point for me or should I say...SWMBO. Dont know if any others fit the bill........

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1232729' date='May 16 2011, 09:17 AM']What are you going to be using the combo for? Gigs? Rehearsals? Do you have PA support?[/quote]
Home use only buddy...
I play with myself...and great fun it is too....

I'm looking for advice on a suitable combo for use with my warwick corvette active. I have a crappy old ashdown at the mo but have now managed to save up enough for something decent. Its for home use only and I was thinking of maybe a Minimark or PJ Briefcase. Any comments or other sugestions.
TIA for all replies.

Guys. Just a quick question that I'm sure I'll get an answer to.
Is it OK to use guitar effects with a bass. I have a small selection of effects but dont want to damage them or anything. I dont see how I could but just checking before I use them.
TIA for all replies.

G'day guys. My name is Ray and I'm a crap bass player.....that dont matter though cos I love it. Dont have much gear, a Warwick Corvette active and a crappy Ashdown practice amp. Looking for a new amp at the mo, Minimark or PJB Briefcase is on the list. Dont gig or play in any kind of band, I aint that good...
Looking forward to participating and learning something new...
