They were always really good. I bought a pair of Yamaha monitors from them maybe 15 months or so ago. I didn't like them and decided I wanted a different pair, they let me exchange them, even though I'd had them for over a week. I didn't realise they'd been taken over, it's always sad when once reliable and reputable dealers go down hill like this. Yet more reason I guess to use Thomann ? My current Genelecs were over £100 cheaper than anywhere in the UK (from Thomann), one went wrong after just over a month. I emailed Thomann, who replied the next day, and sent me a return shipping thing. It was returned to them in just 36 hours, they replaced and sent the new one to me within a week.

Unfortunately I had to use google to find out who he was It's not very cool to be honest, the guys older than my dad, and quite frankly should know better.

Is he quite seriously expecting someone to buy it ? It looks like something I'd make, and I have the DIY skills of a hamster.

An amazing musician, wish I could go

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1422456181' post='2672908'] Bass arrived at my house this morning :-D I willl do a NBD thread soon :-D [/quote] Good My package has now arrived in the UK, so hopefully my monitor will be waiting for me when I get back from uni tomorrow night

The mind boggles

I've got or had a transcription of this that I had to do for uni. I think I may have deleted it, it's not something I personally like. I may have a hard copy somewhere, if you're interested I can try and find it and scan it ?

[size=4]It's obviously very popular, and I guess good for the consumer.[/size] [size=4]It's rubbish for artists though. I get $0.00081900 per play for some of my music. I'm not sure how they structure the payments, that's for a longer piece, I actually get [/size]more for shorter ones. Most bizarre !

I bought an effects pedal from a German store via Anazon, it arrived the next day. That was free shipping too.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1422385089' post='2672021'] I'm in the same boat. Still in Köln and hasn't moved in five days and I'm sorry, but that's totally unacceptable to me. I paid £10 for shipping and we're now on day eight since I purchased the bass and it hasn't left Germany? Not good enough. [/quote] Have you emailed DHL ?

Well still no update yet regarding my shipment. [attachment=182156:Screen Shot 2015-01-27 at 18.00.52.png]

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1422289518' post='2670733'] Could you possibly keep me updated with your order please Ambient? So I know whether to panic or not lol. [/quote] I really shouldn't worry, I think it's that postal services, and couriers are being more vigilante since the Paris terrorist thing the other week. My monitor still hasn't moved (at least according to the tracking), since Saturday, it's still in Germany.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1422322038' post='2671246'] Hmmm you got DHL and I got Parcelfarce. I ordered a week ago and it's still in Germany according to the tracking info. I'm getting concerned. An email will be sent tomorrow, although what Thomann can do about it, I do not know. [/quote] It'll be DHL in Germany, Parcelforce will deliver in the UK. Your tracking number will work with both.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1422288228' post='2670714'] I agree. I've changed the title to something a little more representative. [/quote] Great The last stuff I had from them (maybe 2 weeks ago), got caught up in the Paris terror attacks thing, the package spent about 3 days sitting in customs here in the UK. I think maybe the whole of the European postal and courier delivery networks are being more vigilant, resulting in slower processing and delivery. There was something (i think), mentioned on the Parcelforce website recently.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1422284415' post='2670651'] Would there likely be customs charges to pay on this item? According to the Parcelforce tracker it's STILL in Köln....hasn't moved since Thursday. Getting very anxious now, plus the Thomann website is now saying that the item is no longer part of their product range!! [/quote] No, it's coming from Germany. I sent a faulty studio monitor back to them a couple of weeks ago, and had an email last Friday to say it was being replaced and the new one was on its way. That hasn't moved from Koln either, last updated Saturday. I'm expecting it will update later today to say it's in the UK, and possibly (from my experience with ordering a lot of gear from them), it'll hopefully be delivered tomorrow. I do think the title of this thread should be changed, after all, it's mostly down to couriers and not Thomann.

Anyone heard of, or used these to distribute their music ? [url="http://distrokid.com"]http://distrokid.com[/url]

I only discovered them last year, but was extremely impressed with them. I was only listening to Phaedra the other night.

I think this has been out for sometime ? I've seen videos of Steve Lawson and Tony Levin demonstrating one.

Definitely coming to at least one of these.

I made 40p off them last year

Very happy about this, despite there being no chance of me buying another 😊 Most definitely the best bass I've ever played. http://modulusgraphite.com

Some really nice music there I love what you do with all of those delays.
