    Yeah I know, it's a big favor either way though. Might just be worth it though, since you describe all music products in Australia being seemingly thousands more.


    Basically, anything from the is cheaper. US made stuff is substantially so. The more expensive and exotic, teh worse it gets. Historic Les Paul reissues sell for $5K for a top example, there, $12-15K here. So, yeah, it's much cheaper to fly over and shop for that stuff. For cheaper gear, it can still be a bargain. I bought a Digitech Whammy recently, and even after postage and buying a transformer, I stlll saved a few hundred bucks. There is less difference for Euro stuff and Asian stuff is probably the same as you guys, maybe a littel more, cos there is less competition, but not that bad. Mostly again, the high end stuff gets pricey pretty quick. Amps are the worst, cos basically it all comes from the US, except for MArshall.

    But hey, it's sunny and we don't have gun crime. I swim at a beach covered in pretty girls during my lunch break, so I'm not really complaining, just smart enough to save money when it suits.

    I do have a friend in LA who on-ships at times. He is a cool guy, it will be nice to catch up in Feb when we are shopping.

    Just had another thought about this, at the risk of flogging a dead horse, just for future reference for non-US folk. It is only authorised dealers who are bound by distribution agreementts that won't ship outside the US, there are plenty of reputable dealers who will.

    Ebay sometimes works too if people are willing to ship wherever. Shipping to Australia is no walk in the park.
    If idle hands are the devil's workshop, he must not be very productive.

    I know, I didn't have the cash at the point. I'm going to try the V neck out as well, see how I like that.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
