I could be interested, I am looking for a kickass lil harp amp at a kickass price, if I can import parts and have one of you guys build it for me we could make a plan
Fritz, I'd go with a Classic Fender 5F1 Tweed Champ, 5w's, it growls like you can't believe and thankfully the Mojo kits have an 8 inch speaker over the more common 6 inch that even Fender are using in the Chinese made reissues. It gives a little more low end and it doesn't fart as much as the 6 inch, this is what I'll be building for myself.
I love Champs, as many of the guys know here and miss my modded one I sold to Aja, plus this will be totally hand-built with USA made parts and the perfect bedroom/home amps, my AC30 and Bandmaster are GREAT for clean tones, but I go deaf playing them at break-up levels!
I know alot of Harp players use the Victoria 518, which is essentially a 5F1 Champ clone, which is what I'm going to be focusing on. I'd be happy to build your kit for you if you bought one, Mojo do offer this service for an extra $350, but I'll do it for ALOT less, PM me for details. I found this site tat has some useful info on harp amps:

Lean, start making your list and then PM me, I won't be able to give final costs till I know the combined weight and value of the package. I hope to meet with Arjun next week to sort out my importers permit and other documentation.
The easiest thing to do is or those interested PM me what you want with links/part number/quantities etc, I'll then start a spreadsheet and work out all the finer details.
Lets make the cut off a week today, so deadline for this order is 4th December, payment due the following week once i have final costs on duties/VAT and freight.
Cheers
Matt
