JeremyE wroteYeah I do know the whole story about the 4ohms bit... Haven t opened the head up yet... Tested it on an original bassman cab before I bought it and it sounded phenominal!!! so I made the purchase. In terms of work on the head, I'd prob do any mods myself (having a masters in electonic eng kinda helps with that...also build all my own pedals...). It would just be the sourcing of the parts...
Ah, another techy! Welcome (said as I pull my psuedo Vulkan hand gesture).
RE parts, there are a bunch of places to source on-line, favorites of mine are www.tubedepot.com and www.tubesandmore.com.
RE your amp, do it justice and recap with Sprague Atom's. They are the BEST lytics in my experience and will last another 10-20 years, don't skimp on buying any old 'cheapy' from one of the usual suspects, the amp deserves some love.
Obviously you will need to pay import duties/VAT on your goodies, just the cost of doing business I'm afraid and in many cases with larger items like speakers you will need a clearing agent and you may be required to have an importers license as well.
Smaller parts will typically come through the mail if shipped by USPS and you will pay your duties at the Post Office.
JeremyE wroteWhat kind of prices are we talking when importing the speakers? And what are the import options? I have looked at a few websites, but thats as far as I got...
Well I'm not at liberty to discuss prices here, we are not permitted to discuss posts of a commercial nature as per request, and I FULLY respect that, if you want to get a price, just shoot me a PM or e-mail.
Cheers
