Members DsHr Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 This year I may be moving to the UK to study and I started wondering how to go about getting my stuff there. I have a Sovtek MIG100 head here which I really like, but sending it there seems, well, pricy, so I thought of selling it and buying a new one in the UK. I can get fot it something like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members english_bob Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Very unlikely. They basically never come up for sale over here anyway, but it's almost a dead certainty they'd sell for a fair bit more than that. Seconded. You could get a different *amp*, but I don't fancy your chances of it being a Sovtek. I don't think I've seen one since the days they were selling new over here, and those days are loooooooong gone.

Members misterstomach Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Seems you cou?d get a good deal on some other amps over there. Old Marshalls are cheaper, as are laneys and maybe hiwatts and some others. Buy a couple of those for cheap, spend the extra cash to bring them home on the plane with you and sell them back here. Win win. Get the best one of your choice for cheap and make some money off the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those old amps might be cheaper and a little more common in the UK than the US (or Russia, where the OP's from), but that doesn't mean they're cheap, or common. You'll still need some serious cash in your back pocket if you want to get yourself an older example of any of the well known UK amp brands.
