Members NetStar Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 My Student loan comes through soon and I haven't spent all my last, want me to help you out once I've paid my rent. You can get it back to me before I need to pay April's installment. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jo_to_2 Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 Whenever I gig there's always about 10 guitar amps in the venue between the bands. One kit, one bass amp, a {censored}load of guitar amps. It's generally a safe bet that you'll be able to borrow from one of other bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members theboywho Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 You can use Take it away to finance the purchase of any kind of musical instrument, whether new or reconditioned, from a tabla to a tenor horn, a bass guitar to a berimbau. You can also include music stands, stools, sheet music, amplifiers, equipment and sometimes tuition as part of your loan. Seems like you can get most stuff, except pa and recording equipment.

Members NetStar Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 {censored}, not good, just checked and they are on that same scheme. Looks like they are the only one on denmark street that are. Maybe they didn't want to do it on amps or something.How recently was it actually, I remember my mate bought a new kit a couple of years ago and it was the end of one scheme, just before the current one, it could have been different. It was maybe July... I'm pissed because not only did the Vox Affair inconvenience me, but also Fellow Forumites who out of their own goodness, helped me out. Andy (HFD) sent me a new speaker to try in it, which never arrived! Not cool. He got it insured, luckily, but that's not the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeremy Skrenes Posted January 7, 2009 Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 NONONONONONONONO! Don't do it!! I don't know if there are companies like Musician's Friend or Music123 that ship to the UK, they offer financing. And if you can't afford to finance it, than you also can't afford to save for it, though saving would be a better idea. Borrow amps, get a mini POD or other multifx and run direct. Trust me, the audience won't know much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phishmarisol Posted January 7, 2009 Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 Some of those places in the states have interest rates as high as 700%. I've never bought anything on credit so far and only will if I absolutely have to. Definitely not gear. But it's your money and your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jamiegaskin Posted January 7, 2009 Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 dude, almost all music websites i've been on have some sort of financing plan, many of which are no interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted January 7, 2009 Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 dude, almost all music websites i've been on have some sort of financing plan, many of which are no interest. This isn't a bad idea as well, and if you're after new gear quick Loobs.. I can't say anything bad about it. I bought my Tele Deluxe this way, and Scott (duncan) bought pretty much everything he has the same way, financing at a music store. I'd do it again... and probably will soon with a good set of studio monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members greenweenie Posted January 7, 2009 Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 You'll end up not keeping up with the payments, which will hinder your credit rating. In the event of a real emergency like a medical condition, no one will want to lend it to you. Just go with some of the suggestions here, don't loan for gear and just buy a cheap nice sounding SS amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
