After days of intense calculations, I realised that to get engl preamp I was going for to Iceland would equal the list price of triaxis ordered via local dealer. And of that price you get 5% discount by law. After that, since I kinda know the dude and have bought from him before, I could possibly beg to knock the price down more. So yeah, I ordered a triaxis today. Should be here by the end of July... About the same time I get my paycheck

isnt it kinda ironic that a 1435 euro and a 2400 euro preamps cost the same here...
So i thought... Maybe it would be better for me to get a higher end preamp. And all of my favourite sounds come out of the triaxis, so if they cost the same here why the hell not.

Ordered VHT 2:50:2 today
Vader's delivery costs a shiiiitload, 260 euros for a muthefoking 4x12???!!?. I am thinking of going with a Mesa STD 4x12 instead, believe it or not it will cost less than a VC 4x12, after I pay for delivery and tax. Besides if I buy a triaxis, power conditioner and a cab at one place I am looking to get a huge discount.
BTW anyone has any comments on that dual recto cab?

You cannot go wrong with a mesa std 4x12. I have 2. THEY ARE INVINCIBLE + those vintage 30s dominate!!!!

I have an Avatar G412 Special cab that i'm VERY happy with - it has 2 Vintage 30s and 2 T-75s in it, and it slays my friend's Marshall cab. and it's not with amp stuff, but i pulled the trigger as well and ordered a Schecter Damien 7 string

Niiiiice! Pics when it lands is obligatory The thing with Iceland is that something that is on list price of 400$ in USA or Europe will be way over 800$ when I finally get my hands on it. It is so much more cheaper to get the stuff through the mesa/esp/jackson/orange dealer here. However, fender/ibanez and peavey/vox dealers are shameless motherfuckers when it comes to their stuff. They usually put gear on 125%-150% list price

Yes, but fender/ibanez and peavey/vox are not as true as Jackson/Dean/ESP and Mesa/Randall.

the ibanez's I and you have played in general play better than the dean's. Same with ESP's for me. And the jackson's that aren't at New Music.

But any Jackson at New Music, even the cheapass ones, play awesomely. Jim rules.
