I do remember that in Msia there is a pretty high Tax issued on amplifiers. If I can recall correctly it is something like 50% or something like that but this info is like since 1992 so I'm not sure if it is still current.

It's 25%...
 
Does anyone have price points in Hong Kong? I saw some Mesas at Tom Lee, but didn't have time to ask prices. Nice range there.
 
Makes no diff if its brand new or secondhand. Import tax 25(?)% of declared value + 10% sales tax. OKlah, say 15% of sales value is for fixed overheads. Dunno how much discount you get for being the official distributor, say 20%? So, based on their list prices even after discount, thats a hefty profit margin. Oh well, one doesnt buy a Mesa every other week, does one? Sorry ya Bentley, just shooting the breeze. BTW they are opening a new outlet at a place called The Curve, seems its a mighty big place.
 
It's near The Curve, they have their own building... :)

Edder: No prob! I don't think it makes a difference whether new or old...
 
The latest episode in this saga.

Come with me if you want to live (Part 2) Gitbuddy’s Guitar Blog

"An incensed Bentley (and it amazes me that they even know about this) has decided to try to intervene by complaining to Mesa HQ that nobody is buying from them and wants them to stop all shipments to this part of the world that don’t go via them. Wow. How about that."

Ah??? You bought the S that I wanted to buy!!! whahahahaha... Nice finish hor??? Good tone?:mrgreen:
 
oh my god... damn bentley cock-blocked a few nice singaporean chaps last week... with their little whiny complaint letter to mesa... haizz..
 
"To this part of the world".... whats the diff with THIS part of the world and THAT part of the world? Geez, with an attitude like that its no surprise nobody gets anything from them.
 
mwahahahah, Bentley got spies among some of us here..

Its even hard to Get Mesa's in this region, can understand y the jacked up the price. i hv one. Very very good amp. but the problem always lies in the maintenance. it will amount up to a price where u can buy another Marshall amps or so.
Thats Y, my advice, if u looking for really good amps, not worrying to much on who can fixed it if its spoilt or so, Buy the ones that have Dealers here. e.g Peavey, Fenders - u can always send em to SWEE LEE,
Marshall amps, VHT's - u can send em to DAVIS GUITARS,
the reason are this dealers have the parts directly, and u dont have to worry about paying a hefty sum for repairs alone.

Maybe one day if i have a Guitar shop or so, i can try getting sole Dealership from MESA Engineering...
