Yeah thats so ridiculous. As much as I'd hate to do it, I will probably try to ship it from oversea's and just replace the broken tubes or whatever.
yeah local prices are rediculous. I'm thinking Thomann might be the best bet to get a 240v version. Unless the American retailers can get the 240v version too?

I think it was Rigtalk, but read it on some other forum as well, can't really remember...
Carvin has a V3 mini that kicks some serious ass. Same pre, 50,22,7W output, fx loop, 3 channels, reverb. Pretty sweet....On my to-buy list for sure.
I didn't see the 5150 mini, and I even swung by the Peavey booth... ugh.

Clockwork
Bass playing guy.
Yeah im waiting to see the price on that V3 Mini, but chances are I'll be getting one, looks sick.

Holy shit the 5153 mini might actually be a reasonable price over here!
5153 US = $2000
5153 UK = £1300
Converting $ to £ directly gets you about £1250, so basically we're getting it almost at the same price as you guys. If this works out for the mini and it's at the price quoted then:
5153 mini US = $1000
5153 mini UK = £700?
A Peavey 6505 is £1000 here so a 5153 mini for less would be SICK!

this is the new Spector Alex Webster Signature Bass afaik.
Liking the color sheme, the splatter isn't my style, but it's ok, not that extreme.

And you have also to think a little more with a "marketing" mind.
I mean, why they would sell a little amp that sounds like his big brother, at half the price? Are they stupid or something? If it sounds the same they will not sell a big 5153 anymore...so I'm a little skeptical.

Well do remember that it's a shared eq between the two distortion channels and there's only one presence control compared to the 3 on the original.
You're right that it probably wont come out as cheap as I'm hoping, but even if it can just come in under the £1000 price of a 6505 I reckon they're onto a winner.

Channels 1 and 2 (clean & crunch) are the ones with the shared EQ, channel 3 has its own. Same idea as the original 5150.
this looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good
EDIT: oops posted already! C'mon, I like it!
I don't mind it. I was surprised at the love for the Yngwie signature Marshall, I thought it looked boring.
Honestly, it's like every other Marshall amp.
