Members Japetus Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'd probably go for a Diezel VH4, at those prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members inferno79 Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 Originally posted by bob the dentist 2500 europe is like $4500 US. Not yet! It's best to assume a rate of 1:1. Sometimes the dollar is ahead, for last years it was the euro. It goes up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phyrexia Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 That's not true, the dollar has been behind the pound and the euro for like two years. It's like 1$US:1.3 Euro and 1:2.25 for the pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bumble Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 Those prices are Euros right? I've been scouring ebay with no luck these last two months to see if any used 5150's pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inferno79 Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 Isn't that what I just wrote? Well, I guess it's safe to blame the current weakness on the iraq war. Once that is over the dollar might rise ahead of the euro again, who knows... Btw. the Euro buys exactly 1.2105 US Dollars right know.

Members danbronson Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'd probably go for a VH-4, or on more of a budget an Engl Powerball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bob the dentist Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 I just put that from what I saw on ebay...I saw a Road King that was starting at 2600 or so GBP, and it said that equaled about $4800 or so. I don't really know what GBP is though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dave_Mc_2 Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 Originally posted by Aineias We get thouroughly screwed on US amps (MESA etc) here in the UK, which also means that most shops don't stock them, or that they're treated like the "boutique" amps are in the USA. Soundcontrol in London won't let you play anything by MESA unless you are set on buying the amp - which is bollocks are far as I'm concerned. I won't buy the amp unless i've tried it, which i can't do until I buy it, continue ad infinitum. i went in there in the summer, and got to try out both a dual recto and a stiletto, with a gibson les paul classic- i didn't buy a sausage (nor did i say i was interested in buying). anyway, I am in europe and i bought an engl savage se, although for more out and out metal, i'd take a powerball/se. If i wanted a darker sound, i'd probably take a diezel vh4. I haven't tried framus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dave_Mc_2 Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 ^yeah, maybe the fact you went in with others worked against you ( i was on my own) although some other guitar shops in and around denmark street got pissy when they thought i wasn't buying... anyway, i only buy from places that let me try stuff to my heart's content, if no, i don't buy from them, it hurts them in the end.

Members ss454 Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 If I was going to euorpe I would buy a couple of Mesa's and take them with me to sell over there. Then with the profit I could probably buy something over there without spending any of the rest of the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
