Avalon Bassline...worth it?/ Opinion

Hah, me too. I just bought a cart, oh dear :E

Hmmm I don’t have any filter carts currently….

Yeah, I went ahead and got the 2044 and a spare SEM (that’s how much I like it). If I never use the spare, then I’ll eventually sell it off. They’ve already sold for $200-300 in the past, so no doubt they will again in a few years. Not that the idea is to make a bunch of money off it, but just that I don’t think I’d ever have a problem selling it and certainly won’t lose any money.

Ah… no worries. Hopefully the Avalons go up for sale at the end of the month. I’ll post here as soon as I know anything… and have already reserved mine. :laughing: :rofl:

Do you know if you have to pay in full up front or is it a deposit?

Sorry, I don’t know that bit. I got my first one from a private seller (Ebay). I’m hoping it’s only a deposit, because it’s going to be a long wait.

Did you try buying on the website ?

I.e you may have to look 2nd hand .

Not buying second hand the prices are ridiculous, apparently there is one last batch available for order soon, but who knows ?

Good luck

Looks like full up front. And for up to 6mos ;(

Yeah I’m pretty torn on the prospect of getting one, I dont think I would ever buy one at the used prices so when those preorders go live it seems like a now or never type thing. I suppose if you have the cash it is not like you would ever sell it at a loss

It would sell within minutes at $1250-1500 (they do all the time). $1800-2000 is pretty much the norm and $2000-2500 w/ all of the filter carts is doable. There have been some sold much higher, but I think that’s not too typical. Maybe in a few years when it’s widely known and now confirmed there’s never another batch, but who knows for sure. I could never see losing money on one for sure though (at this point).

I felt absolutely lucky to get mine a couple years ago 2nd hand, but still brand new unopened box for $1200. That was pretty much unheard of at the time.

EDIT: I went back, checked a few posts and history. Someone is trying to sell one on Reverb right now w/ one cart for $3700 (good luck).

I’m torn as well. Guess I’ll wait and see how I feel when they go live. I’m prepared to expect the wait to be closer to a year.

Edit: I sold mine a few years ago with all the carts for slightly less than $1000. One of my biggest gear selling regrets😢

I’m looking for 303, avalon sounds nice. I don’t know why but my favorite 303 clone is mam mb33, it’s cheap and simple but it makes me very emotional… :sweat_smile:

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:I watched this video a while back, but watching back, I can see how the sequencer works.

SEM seems to be a good filter, but I don’t know until I use all of them.

Will the filters be produced even after the final production of Avalon is sold out? :thinking:

No one knows for sure, but I highly doubt it. Probably whatever stock of boards/parts he has now is it. Pure speculation on my part though.

I offered this guy 2000 EURO and he rejected it out even offering a counter offer. lol.

These things are hard to come by and outrageously expensive. I really dislike Behringer but I might just save my cash and jump on the TD3-MO. (I feel dirty typing that.)

I have a tb-03 but always wanted one of these for years. What’s the process to pre order?

wait… I guess.

It’s going to be a scramble to order.
