JayGarrett Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hey all! I've been trying to track down a good deal on a TC Electronics rig - reckon I'm going RH450, RS210 and the floor controller. Now, having some Yorkshire heritage, I'm a bit scared of laying down over a grand in one go - Christmas is coming up and a girlfriend who has been made redundant from her job doesn't really help matters. I know sense says to wait but the amount of gigs I have lined up and having no transport makes it difficult to lug around my 'full-size' gear. Anyhoooooooo - back to my question. Has anyone bought from Bonners? Their prices seem decent and, more importantly, they offer a buy now pay in 6 months at 0%, also 24 and 36 months finance. Please let me know good or bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Bassman Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Got my RH450 and foot controller, RS210 and RS212 from Bonners Eastbourne. No problems, good service and what's more the TC gear is fab! Go for it I say! Hope this helps [quote name='JayGarrett' post='655719' date='Nov 16 2009, 10:08 AM']Hey all!

Hope this helps[/quote] Cheers UB That's added to my 'I need this TC gear' thoughts and also given me some reassurance about dealing with Bonners. Was going to get the 210 and RH450 and if I need a little more bottom (ooooer!) might sling that cute 112 underneath which would also bring the height of the rig up a little more. But that's for another spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenLetters Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 My uni campus was in Eastbourne (not what I had hoped for up for when applying to Brighton uni!) and i had a few dealings with Bonners but obvisouly in store and not mail order. Like most music shops some of the staff are a bit suspect but on the whole they were decent people and the managers and such were helpful. Customer service was good and they were quick to sort out any troubles I ever had. I think you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had an email discussion and replies have been quick, friendly and helpful thus far. When I have my deposit from selling my rack stuff I may be tempted into asking about the 112 as well.........

iamapirate Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Bonners are.. good. I live in Eastbourne, and wherever I see a price, I know that I can get it cheaper (mostly from gak.co.uk or in store). eg. I got my fender american 2008 standard jazz bass from gak.co.uk for £769 and they're doing them online for £959.00. Now I;m not sure what year that is, but they can't have got £200 better in the last year. I mean, I'd say shop around, and you'll be sure to (usually) find a better price. But for service they're excellent. And yes, why the hell is there a Brighton Uni campus here?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eude[/quote] Glad and happy to help fella I'm putting my deposit (that's a monetary deposit!) down tomorrow for the RH450, RS210 and the pedal board I've decided, if/when I start playing larger venues or more open-air festivals I'll sling a 112 underneath or perhaps a 212 if I'm suddenly rich Oh yeah!!! I like the classic but I decided that for the extra money having those presets and having the lights is worth it - especially the lights......

I checked GAK and load of others but Bonners is the cheapest with the added bonus that they'd do finance. As it turns out my 5 nomadic years down here in London has made my credit rating a bit pants - chances are one of the flats I lived in had a bad credit attached to it and so I'm being spanked for it and can't get finance So - tomorrow I slap down 500 notes and then pay the balance when the rig touches down I've decided to get the amp and pedal carry bag and the cover for the cab.... well.... might as well.

I was based mainly in Meads Village which it seemed was 100% populated by over 60's. Most of the courses were full of people I had nothing in common with though which was a little annoying........until i discovered how distracting student nurses can be.
