Yikes! Worth it though. I bought 3 in one go 9 years ago and i'm pretty it cost me about $1200. I ordered all of them in the SRV fat C profile but they all showed up with a huge soft V profile. Turns out I love the V!

Yikes indeed, 'tis a bit of a luxury item! I ordered roasted maple with pau ferro board. How did you know you didn't get the profile you asked for? Just through the feel, or was it wrong on paper too?

The SRV profile was supposed to be a fat C but I got fat V's. Fat C's, V's or D's, they're all good in my bedroom.

My Trinity TC15 (Vox/Matchless) kit arrived yesterday. It took 10 weeks to get here from Canada at a cost of $US45.00 for surface freight. Total cost was $US685.00 & I didn't get charged GST! Yeeha, go figure. Here's the progress report - most hardware mounted on chassis & heaters wired.

Roller volume pedal on its way. This is the active version with the selectable volume ramping.
I’ve been after one of these since forever.
