Details

I am selling two items: An Avalon U5 and a Demeter VTBP-201. I'm planning on keeping whatever one doesn't sell first.

The Avalon is your normal fantastic Avalon U5 with blue and orange LEDs. I want $400 +shipping for it.

Here is my original description of the Demeter VTBP-201:

This is the 1.5U version with the Jensen buffered DI in black.

I don't think it's possible to have a mint version of these anymore, but this one has obviously been well cared for. There is some rack rash and the usual minor wear which is difficult to see. Overall it's aesthetically in very good condition and operationally flawless. The previous owner had a new volume pot put in and I think that the tube is new.

This is the same pre listed in this thread: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=267430

I don't really want to sell this but I have an Avalon U5 that I got around the same time and for my immediate purposes the Avalon is preferable. I know I'm going to be regretting this later but I need the money to fund another purchase.

$450 + shipping.

If you don't like it for any reason, you have a week to send it back to me on your dime for a refund. I am having webserver issues right now so I haven't got any pics online, but I can email them to interested parties.

Jai decided that it wasn't his thing (and I rather felt the same about the V-Type) so we traded back. This is, sadly, back up on the block.

I have been playing it nonstop for several days now and am honestly torn between letting it and the Avalon go. I have to sell one of them though, and at this point I'm leaning toward keeping it.

So if anyone wants an Avalon U5 *or* a Demeter VTBP-201, let me know while I'm still trying to decide. :)

Thank you for getting my pre back in time for our CD release!

For others on this board, Matt is great to deal with and highly recommend doing biz with him.

These are both still available, and I've edited the original post to add the Avalon U5 + pricing.

I've gotten some decent trade offers for this but I really just need the money at this point. If you have something really cool, feel free to float it past me but remember that I already have two "hifi" preamps right now.

Non music things I'd be interested in: Bob Yak bike trailer, Ortlieb waterproof bags or panniers, other harsh weather bike touring gear.

I keep meaning to, but then I come down into the basement and end up playing instead of doing anything computer related with my time.

I know, I know, I need to get on task. :)
