Members the.nameless Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 its very cheap for pretty much everything...there are a few things that you can get cheaper elsewhere though, and amps are expensive. great service and delivery times though, to be reccomended.

Yep, everything seems cheaper there than here but the least noticeable difference is amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the.nameless Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 i'll tell ye a story: a guy i know ordered a bass off them, it was kinda in the middle of the range...it took 3 weeks to come, and when it did, it was broken. He sent it back, and they sent him the absolute top of the range model with a free hardcase as compensation. nice germans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted January 5, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thomann's are the only people in Europe to get a bargain from, although not for US made stuff in general, well OK, just pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soeru Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I sorta wish I had found out about Thomann and bought my Fireball off of them than Musik Produktiv. They're such a better store. I'm buying a presonus firebox off em and perhaps a recording pre off em too sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gammy Posted January 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 So pretty much 100% positive experiences then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gigant0r Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Originally posted by TheGammy So pretty much 100% positive experiences then? hmm, not really.I've decided to order something from them and i did. I've got automated e-mail from them and thought it is all alright.So i waited...and waited....and after 2 weeks of waiting i wrote 'em email just to ask what's going on with my order. Then i waited again for about a week, got no reply so i mailed them again. Finally some guy replies that they have lost my order and that i should order it again. I was kinda pissed off but i did it anyway.So, automated email again, waiting again, email again and after 2 months i've got my order without any explanations in e-mail or whatever.I'll never do any kind of business with them.and btw i don't know where you guys buy your gear but they really ain't that cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dave_Mc_2 Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 i haven't bought from them, but I've heard of them.Don't know about ireland, but some of the things are cheaper than here (normally american brands, and obviously german brands), while some are more expensive (british brands, ibanez for some reason).I guess you want to compare the prices before you buy.

I buy a guitar from US shipping is $130-150 + 3% duty + 17.5% VAT....I buy a guitar from Thomann its $15.....ever heard of a no brainer?Most stuff in US is cheaper, I buy all smaller stuff from US suppliers, but for a EU based retailer Thomann are nigh on unbeatable.

Members gigant0r Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 my example was with almost exact shipping costs and my point is that they aren't SO cheap like some guys think. EOD about that .. buy your gear where the h*ll you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
