DV247 Deals & Discounts

Received mine , pleased enough with it , but it's difficult to balance as the body is light!

Up to £125 now

Would like to know why the cold votes , i thought this was a great deal . It isn't if you only buy one pack but it is never cost effective to buy a single pack of strings anyway .
I bought 20 packs , works out at £1.23 a pack . I know it's an unknown brand but i often want to put a new set on a guitar i don't use very often and this is a cost effective way of doing that rather than using branded ones when i know i won't use it much .

go solder your own ball ends buster !!

cant believe you have never heard of Fame

Fame...I want to learn how to fly

Not sure about the value of the deal but customer service can be poor. Had ordered an item showing as in stock only to be told it was no longer available. A sales rep then offered an "alternative" and asked if i wanted to change my order, on further inspection the "alternative" was 3 times the price and poor substitute for what I actually ordered! Funnily enough I said thanks but no thanks....I did find it odd that the price of the "alternative" wasn't alluded to when I was offered it as a replacement, seems like a tricky way to get more cash out of you.....

Have you any suggestions?

Mixtrack Pro II is around £70 second hand now and is a great controller, works with all the major software and is easy to use. Personally having used Traktor and Virtual DJ I love VDJ. Didn't like serato but only tried it on friends' setups. VDJ is £70 extra for a legit copy and worth every penny if you're going to enjoy mixing.

Nice. You got a good deal there.

Went and picked it up this afternoon. Lovely. Not a mark on it, no smudges, no finger marks from handling, looks brand new. Smells brand new - you know that urethane(?)&glue smell? The tremolo has never been fitted (they asked me if I wanted it on, I said not now) and they put a new set of strings on, replacing the 9's with 10's, and their luthier gave it a full tune up, which is why I came back to pick it up today rather than take it home yesterday.

Deal? I reckon it was. And, thank you for making me think again and look around.. I would never have found it had you not said what you did. Kudos.

Nice. You got a good deal there.

The only thing I don't like imho about this strat is the humbucker at the bridge. Even with coil tap you can never get that unique out of phase sound between the bridge and middle pickup as you do with a single coil at bridge. I've tried over the years with Seymour Duncan e.c.t but have gone back to stock Fender single coils. The Texas specials are good for a thicker sound though, shame not put at bridge as well then that would be good strat. Still voted hot as seems a good orice if made in USA.

Don't know where to start with this yonifinke, but I'll have a go anyway:

1. This is not a deal for any old 'beginner's' guitar, it is specifically for a Yamaha C40 + bundle.

2. The Yamaha F310 can actually be had for £87 (cheaper than the shop you mentioned) + bundle at https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/acoustic-guitar-set/yamaha-f310p2-starter-pack-steel-string-guitar?gclid=CP31x9Kg_skCFYWfGwodG3YLZA.

Perhaps most importantly however is the fact that the C40 is a classical guitar and the F310 is an acoustic. Two entirely different beasts meant for different styles of music. To advise someone to get an acoustic if they're looking for a classical (or vice-versa) is simply wrong and ill-informed.

What do you mean by 'phones are better tuners these days anyway'? Better in what way if they both get the correct pitch from any given string?

What do you mean by 'all in all the F310 is a far superior instrument'? Given that you've compared a classical instrument with an acoustic, what makes you think this?

that is a really good deal, well spotted!

Its a terrible company because they regularly advertise stuff for sale that they dont hold.
And then when you ring to chase after 3 days of your order still showing as confirmed they inform you it could be up to ten days.
And then possibly because you missed this microscopic asterisked condition stated somewhere on their site, they try to imply that it's your fault that you still ordered it.
Im not aware of any other online music retailer who is so happy to muck people about like this.
They have a reputation for this. They take your money and then order in from a wholesaler. No thanks.
All the free warranties etc are entirely notional. I won't use them again for this reason.
They did refund within 3 days to be fair. And that's all i can say about them.

I would recommend Music Matter for most studio gear. Very good straightforward experiences with them.

Didn't like the previous model with the pop up lights.

Like thomasrykala said, most DJ's don't use all the features. But its nice to have them in case you do. Also the latency in he Top end machines are usually a lot lower meaning when you press the button on the controller their is no time delay..

Also high end controller would have built in soundcards, so the output comes from the controller and not the PC.

This deal does have built in sound but no external power supply. So its only powered by the USB cable.

Start off with something and work your way up, if you upgrade and don't see any difference, stick to what you have.

​club standard high end controllers have extra features that 90% of djs never use so irts never a bad idea to buy a cheaper one from a good manufacturer like Pioneer after some research. I never bought any kit yet I've been playing around London for over ten years. I don't know this particular model, but if it's Pioneer and it works with traktor, you can't go wrong.

What exactly are you sacrificing by buying a low end model? Is it the kind of thing where in 3 months I'll be wishing I got a pricier one?

Good price for a decent quality controller. That said I prefer the official traktor controllers with Traktor myself

Pioneer make amazing Controllers, this is somewhat of a low end one though. But for the price it can get anyone started. All you need is a PC/laptop amp and speakers.

If i had posted a top or mid end one, it would of gone cold within minutes

And as stated above Traktor or Serato work with this. VDJ is also available to download (free versions) which someone is mapping for this controller. Might already have been done now.

Well mine just arrived at work. One of the knobs is loose and it's more green than blue but I like it and should match the curtains :). Just waiting for the wife to pick me up from the pub and then I can go home and have a play :). Hopefully I can fix the knob issue

Just put my order through no photo ahead of postage but at least I can return it if I am not happy

Just negotiating with them at present and trying to get a photo of the top - hoping to order in the morning!

That's why I bought one......... at £899 you can move it on and probably make money when this sale is over. This is a quality instrument and whilst the neck is the thicker type it's still plays perfectly and is super smooth. I have never had a guitar that has been this well setup straight out of the box.

I keep hovering over the order button but I really need to try one. I think this has the 50's neck. I am in no way a good player but love guitars and the attraction at this price is that it will hold its value. I mostly play a Mexican fender strat which is a similar colour and my worry is how I will get on moving to the thicker neck as I have a dean acoustic and I struggle a bit with the neck. I have 5 cheaper guitars and have promised myself that if I get another it must be decent. I really like the desert studio 2015 but they are mostly sold out now or at full price. I am glad you are pleased with it. I need to have a few beers one night and then just hit the button

I do think it's a shame that people seem to lose sight of reality a little bit!

This is a fantastic deal for someone who would love a guitar and amp but unless found at a low price would otherwise not have one!! You don't need to compare every item to the best on the market!! I doubt anyone buying this would expect to be getting a top of the range item, but for value for money, and the knowledge that without a deal like this a fair few people wouldn't be getting a guitar at all, it's a fantastic find! HEAT ADDED!!

Bolt-on neck!?!?!?! Yuck!!

hey what do you expect for the money? good price for a beginner.

nothing wrong with bolt on necks anyway - I have an Ibanez Prestige which cosy well over a grand and it has a bolt on neck which I love more than my ESP thru neck.

happy shredding!

dbilsborough

yeah, just like all them rubbish Fenders.......

I think there's a difference between a bolt-on Fender-style guitar where the bolt-on design contributes to its sound and a bolt-on Gibson-style guitar where the bolt-on design is used in place of a glued neck as a cost-saving measure. The neck joint is a massive contributing factor to the sound of a Les Paul and a bolt-on version will sound less like the guitar it is clearly trying to be. It's a budget model so you pays your money and makes your choice. :-)
