NMPD ...my Sebatron Axis200VU has arrived.
About a year ago I was in the market for a new mic pre. It took awhile but I eventually narrowed my choices down to the Hendy Rembrandt and the Sebatron Axis 200VU. I wound up going with the Hendy and that turned out to be fortuitous because I ended up getting upgraded to the DaVinci model for no additional cost because Chris Hendy didn't have a chassis on hand for the Rembrandt ...so sweet deal.
I saw someone selling the Sebatron on Reverb yesterday. They were asking $1650 for it which I thought was much too high considering the unit costs $1950 brand new. I made an offer of $1150. I knew it was low but that was about what I was willing to pay for a used one. The seller came back with an offer of $1550 which I declined. Then I checked to see if there was one on eBay. I've looked before from time to time but never saw one. This time it was there and for $10 less than my offer to the guy on Reverb. At less than 60% of the price for brand new, I feel like I got a very good deal. Looking forward to getting that baby in the rack. |
For anyone interested...

Congrats, it looks like you have a acquired couple of world class preamps! The demos sound awesome, and you got a steal with the Sebatron IMO.

Is it the Sebatron 4000? I've been watching that guy drop his price for weeks now. He rejected my offer of $1100.

You might be thinking of the VMPQuadPlus that's on Reverb for $1800. That's a nice unit if you need four channels. It sells for $2k from Sebatron but Soundpure is listing it as brand new and the Sebatron site says they're a US distributor so I'm assuming that it comes with the 3-year Sebatron warranty. |
It's the Seb 4000-e that I've been watching. Rockabilly69 here has been RAVING about it for a while and I'm looking for a 4-channel pre.
Looks like he pulled it. |

I don’t know if he’s written about it. We live in the same town and he’s been pushing me to dive in and get one. |

And now I find myself with Ebay and Reverb alerts for TLM 102s, Sebatron pres, various Neve clones.... But I did not hesitate last week to nab a KM184 for $450 when it popped up on Reverb! |
