fretmeister Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) 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.

Lozz196 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Even with VAT added that’s a great deal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno1981 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 That’s really amazing. New version on the way I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I don't know if that would get you the amp alone here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy515 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) 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!!!

Osiris Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 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?

Lots of big blowouts going on at the moment, will keep my eye out for more deals coming up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 But then Andertons are selling TC RH750 for 349 quid! https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-amps/bass-amp-heads/tc-electronic-rh750-bass-amp-head 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 That said, I use valve and hybrid valve/class AB amps mostly. They just pack more punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I hated the RH750. I wouldn't buy another for £25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyy Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Ooo I have a dispatch email! Probably take 2 weeks to actually get here these days! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
