Avalon Bassline...worth it?/ Opinion

Thx. I’ve had one for 4 years, until Brian advertised the very last batch: I figured I could swap a white/blue for a black/red one. Very wrong decision!
Except for the happy buyer :sweat_smile:
Seems you’re still rocking it @adUb!

At least y’all got in. There’s no universe in which I’ll pay the absolutely absurd used prices people ask for one of these.

I’m going to assume you’re joking, because the level of cynicism required to believe in this being possible is beyond imagination.

“Just Asking Questions” is a common antipattern and inciteful shit-stirring for people already a bit emotionally frustrated. The joke is usually on the people affected by whatever they’re poking around at.

Yes, of course it is just a joke. Didn’t realize people would take it at face value.

Had a wee jam last night

Well folks, I never thought this day would come. After almost 4 years of waiting, I have finally received my Avalon Bassline. Were my country not a fractious wormball of a shit-show I would be able to enjoy this day more. Cats are a consolation. I hope everyone who is still waiting gets theirs soon.

Did he ask for updated shipping before he sent it to you? I’ve been trying to update my address with him on and off for months now with no response

He didn’t need to because i managed to catch him on the phone. But he WILL send an email to you before shipping the Avalon to confirm your address. As long as you have the same email address you will be fine, because that will give you a chance to be certain he has your correct address. He told me he’s down to the last 70 units, and they’re ready to go and he’s slowly (too slowly) shipping. You will get that email eventually. I know your frustration.

|Shipping:|$54.50 via USPS Priority Mail|

Yeah, more than a few persons decided to buy theirs to flip or became more opportunistic when they saw others do the same.

Mine was the standard black with red LED’s, so it was $1095. Other combos, like @thermionic were a bit more expensive presumably because fewer were made.

Right now there are 5 on Reverb and 4 of them are $3000 or more. That is ridiculous. No one should pay that much. There will be more used ones in the pipeline because of this latest batch.

IIRC there was a 100 USD price increase due to labor needed to physically desolder/resolder leds on the units with different leds colour from the one that come as standard on the main board from the supplier.

Also another 100 for the silver faceplate too I think.

Happy to see Brian finally sending the last units out, I love my white on white leds, it’s one of those things that I’m happy to just have sitting on the desk, despite being also a wonderful sounding piece if gear.
