VT Deluxe Talkbass group purchase?

[Honk'n_down-low]

what if I move before it's shipped?

The new tenant will get a nice pedal - hope they play

then you're screwed.



i have to think that the perfect bass has a way of letting them know that your address changed. i've heard that you can actually call them and get this done. i don't know for sure, but i hear address changes are pretty easy to accomplish.

If you move, I'll wait on your old doorstep and take it.

Is the delivery date a secret? I have some scratch now but hate to tie it up indefinitely.

 

[JimmyM]

yes, it is a secret for now, but mid-to-late april is the guess date judging by most of their products debuted at previous namm shows.

Is this open to UK-based people?

 

[kesslari]

Yes. If you're outside the continental US, you can still be in on the group price, but, you'll need to order by phone and pay for the shipping.

Prepurchase date update:

The window for doing the pre-purchase will be Feb 22-26 (the business week of Feb 22). So if you are thinking you're interested, be ready to pull the trigger and pre-pay that week.

Out of town update:

Folks,

I'll be off network through Feb 21. If you send me a PM (asking for info, opting in to the purchase, etc.) I won't get back to you until after Feb 21.

So if I don't reply to your PM before Feb 21, it's not because I don't love you or nothin'
And there will still be time for you to get in on this if you want.
Meanwhile, keep the groove.

 

[kesslari]

For any stragglers - this week is the week of the group pre-purchase. It will be open through Saturday Feb 27.
If you're interested and haven't done so already, send me a PM.

So, Musician's Friend finally listed the VT Deluxe for pre-order. They say it's available on 7/8/10. Ouch. Think they're being conservative, or do they know something we don't?

 

[Rickett Customs]

Mine is officially ordered............

 

[plankspanker13]

Ordered...now to twiddle the thumbs.

 

[kesslari]

Mine's ordered too.

I think they're being conservative, based on my conversations with TPB.

 

[Jehos]

Ordered. I've got to say, not a bad price, especially for something that is probably going to be in high demand and kind of hard to get hold of when it starts shipping.

 

[etoncrow]

ordered....thanks Jonathan, much obliged

 

[Andy Brown]

Thanks Kesslari... ordered!

 

[ahdunno]

Too many decisions... How much is the VT deluxe going to be? I found the bass driver programmable for $160.

How are the sounds differences? I'm not planning on doing any gigs or recordings. I'm just looking for something to add some character to my basses.

Geddy Fender ( passive)
Fender Jazz ( active )
Victor Bailey acoustic ( active )

I hope someone can help shed some light so I can either go with the pre-order or go for the bass driver programmable.

April or July seems so far away!

Thanks!

Man, I sure hope it's not July before these ship.
