Blackwoods don't offer ship in services?

i thought they sell second hand stuff only? hm i shall call in tmr.

but i can only imagine how much it will cost...

^Second hand stuff?. I thought they sell only first hand stuff. I can only imagine it too.

 

[Stickman]

Nah. I think their 4x12 is 2nd hand..

 

[Henzy]

They do take orders I think. You can try talking to David about it, perhaps he can help.

All their Mesas are pre-owned at Blackwood, but I think they are good value.

There is no official new Mesa dealer in Singapore.

Nearest dealer is Bentley music in K.L., if you want to pay double the U.S. price.

i've searched, i've failed. yes those at blackwood have been owned before. they don't ship in new ones. bentley's prices is crazy, i've contacted them just a few weeks ago. so yea.....i've searched, i've failed.

LOL dont despair la bro! perharps we can talk to blackwood or something, to request for ship-in. but first things first, there has to be demand, cos they are running a business. hmmm. good luck on getting your Mesa amps guys!

hm i don't think i've seen a roadster combo before at blackwood.

i've seen somewhere on this forum that mesa requires dealers to hold 50k worth of stock :O

well i shall call in later to check...

you can make a trip to bangkok! i saw many mesa at the siam discovery guitar shop when i went there earlier this year.

 

[teokiatuan]

:O

are they much cheaper there?

 

[jskadiang]

probably not. the cheapest way is to get someone in the US to buy and ship, or do it yourself. the prices in the US are controlled by mesa, so they're constant throughout, but outside, especially in asia, the dealers are free to mark up their prices because they're few and far between. case in point, bentley music. have you tried ebay or online classifieds?

 

[teokiatuan]

then the shipping would be killer i think... not to mention they don't handle it with care...


approx shipping for a 40kg head?

 

[jskadiang]

depends lor. mesa packs their amps like a brick shithouse, you should be fine on the shipping, use UPS priority or something, 10 day wait is fine. unless you absolutely must have it NOW and use expedited. the shipping on my roadster head came up to be around 200SGD.

any luck yet bro? hehehe.. Mesa amps suddenly sounds sooo appealing to me.

 

[jskadiang]

i think blackwood does sourcing so they should be able to bring in anything you want for you
