Its a shame i Can't afford to have more than one amp : (

No prob bro! I know what you mean about wanting the hot-rodded Marshall sound. I went from this Mark III/IIC+, a Mark IV, and 2 Marshall 1959SLP's to rack gear and now I'm back to heads. I won't go back to rack, heads just sound much better to me; more power, more punch. I got another Marshall 1959SLP that I'm going to mod and 2 Mesa Mark IIC+ heads now.
While I dig the Boogie sound, I dig the hotrod Marshall sound as well. I want to get a Fender Dual Showman Reverb Head for cleans and then I'm set with a tri-amp setup.
Aineias, I'd say $750 to $850 is what a nice Mark III with all options is going for. Then the mod is $350, the footswitches are $50 a piece from Mesa, the cover is what, $25? I'd say it's a good deal. Note shipping is going to be expensive as the head is very heavy. Can't you buy some sort of voltage convertor that you can plug US stuff into? A new tranny is going to cost a lot of $ and I wouldn't want to screw with an amp like that. Just a thought.
