SansAmp VT Bass Character Series

[shinobi]

i've been recently thinking about getting a bass OD. i've been considering the sobbat db bass for a long time. plus i'm a sucker for boutique japanese shit.

but there has been alot of hype over the VT bass on TB and it has been getting to me. this pedal will give you "p bass through ampeg SVT" and more. the price point is alright with me as well.

you buggers should to do yourselves a favour and start shipping in the gear that you want. singapore is small, and so are our guitar shops. they can't possibly bring in large quantities as well as varieties of gear.

it's impossible for them to reap the benefits of large scale, with the exception of maybe citymusic and sweelee. you can't expect them to take orders on the whim and fancy of musicians as they will lose the advantage of ordering in bulk. i'd rather have gear that is scare yet affordable, than to have a wide selection of overpriced stuff.

for everything else i'd go online. some sites you guys will find useful:
http://www.tonefactor.com
http://www.proguitarshop.com

it's not about supporting the local stores, it's only about getting the gear that you want.

all the demo clips for the VT Bass make me feel like getting rid of my Tone Hammer for it...

oh and Blackwood brings it in now. i was at there sometime ago when i first saw it. wanted to try it for myself, but someone was hogging the Zon.


i seem to have this particular GAS for preamps.

i thought my GAS for preamps died after i started GASing for real amps. but hey, my amp doesn't have a drive section

Thinking of getting one from ebay.Anyone have any experience buying pedal from ebay ?

[EnEn]

I've not bought from ebay before, but I've gotten my VT bass, demeter comp-1 as well as other pedals through online merchants or 2nd off hand the buy n sell forum in talkbass.

Price wise, unless there's an authorised dealer in Singapore, I doubt it will be more expensive shipping in yourself.

Shipping wise, vpost should be able to settle it..

Cheers.

tonefactor and proguitarshop will ship to singapore. their shipping rates are pretty reasonable too, especially if you order in bulk. i have experience with tonefactor but not yet with PGS.

i bought stuff of ebay, but from ebay stores rather than individuals. i dont mind buying from people but often they are not willing to ship overseas or will quote high costs of shipping. it's also hard to come across a good deal and win a bid.

i've only done 1 deal over talkbass, which was to trade my markbass for a genz benz with some guy from australia. i got a supporting membership just for it.

i think possibly the reason why stuff here is sometimes more ex is because the stores are not authorised dealers for some of the brands they bring in. usually, the only time it will be comparable to US prices is when there's a sale or discount.
