Vanderkley - Whats Happening?

[Acebassmusic]

I use a Vanderkley 210LNT and am really impressed what volume damage it can do in a rock band setting as well as more delicate nuances of my funky / souly / poppy type bands. However I've just done a trawl of the internet and couldnt find the Vanderkley website. Also most stockists (eg: Bass Direct etc) are out of stock. 🤔 Anyone know whats happening?

I don’t have inside knowledge, except for a comment from an official dealer when asked what was happening with Vanderkley……..”he’s selling all his stock and inventory”.

 

Doesn’t sound great and it would be a sad loss if it folds. I have both amp and cabs and they are top notch gear.

 

(Weet een van onze Nederlandse collega’s er meer over?)

They've stopped trading. The website and Facebook pages are down and Marc has went off Facebook too. 

 

I was in the market for another cab and Bass Direct told me the cabs weren't being made anymore.

Shame.. They were top notch kit weren't they...?

[BlueMoon]

Same questions being asked and assumptions being made on the Dutch site (basgitaarforum.nl) and that other forum where they talk a lot about bass.

 

Not sounding good overall.

Hi, I’ve blown tweeter in my Vanderkley 112 neo cab, do you guys know where I can get a new one or a repair. Thanks

See if you can take some photo's of the tweeter and someone here might be able to recognise it. Probably better to do it in a new thread so people know what you are asking

Try seeing if Marc will reply via Instagram. That's the only place that the bass product page still exists.

 

It's interesting this debacle actually. What does one do when a small, boutique builder just suddenly stops? If the parts are bespoke say drivers or crossover parts what then?
