Vanderkley? Where did they go?

[Acoustic356]

It looks like Vanderkley's website it down. So is there Facebook page. Their Instagram is up, but it hasn't been updated in a few months.
My Spartan is still one of my all time favorite amps... I would hate to see them go. Last time I talked with Mark, he was working on a new amp design.

I reached out to Morten Ehlers at Bass Buddha inn Feb of last year. He's an authorized dealer. He said there were no more Spartans coming unless Mark Vanderkley released a new model. Didn't sound promising.

I'll reach out to Morton again and see if he has any news & let you know what I find.

With the wayback machine I found this:

You can write him an email or give him a call.

Eee, I only played through a VanderKley rig once, at BassFreaks in Brussels, sounded fantastic - very detailed but still plump, juicy and FUN!

Any word?

Any word?

Nothing specific. According to Morten, he's selling off the remainder of his inventory. The assumption is that he's going out of business. Nothing concrete. Just speculation.

I was going to hit the "like" button to acknowledge, but there is nothing to like about this.

In a world where amps are being used less, it may make sense. I definitely am going to keep my Spartan!

The Aurora was one of the best sounding amps I've ever heard!

He produced really good speaker cabs as well!

I can ask around at Basgitaarforum.nl if anyone wants. Apparently he still supplies the preamps for the De Gier bass guitars.

He told me the same when I sent my two Spartan amps to him because they clipped when I used them in Spain. They got to hot.and now I wanted to buy another 210 LNT, and did not found his web page or his Facebook profile. Yes we was fb friends since I have bought a lot from him, and want more. Where can I find a new 210 LNT?

Looks very nice!

Good luck on finding any new Vanderkley stock!

I doubt you'll find any NOS, as most places have liquidated their existing stock.

There is a 210 LNT on Reverb now...

The bass is a Custom made bass with Alembic Pick ups and electronics made by Prat basses in Elche in Spain.

I did try to order another Vanderkley 2x10 LNT cabinet, but the Vanderkley page was not there anymore. I have one allready a 210 LNT and a 212 LNT, two 210MNT and two Vanderkley Spartan amps. So now I am looking for a new, or mint second hand 210LNT.
