The two dots are called umlaut in German  :?

Some people just use the ü to look cool  :evil:

Just like the band Hüsker Dü, without the umlaut it's danish for "do you remember"

if it's german it's pronounced "boombox". not bymbox...

bumbox is funnier though.

they look quite nice- though unfortunately being in the states, shipping and customs will doubtless make that price (for the lead 1) a lot less attractive... :(

It it was from Belfast it would be fartbox.

They look real nice (but expensive on this side of the ditch)

Rob...

So without the umlaut what would Hüsker Dü mean  (if anything)

Hmm the BOC are also guilty of such things (along with songs with fire, sword or blade in the title)

If the 'ü' is pronounced 'y' would it be fair to assume that the 'x' is silent?

That would make it a bymbo amp (pronounced Bimbo ?)

Therefore the following slogan could be used : Bümbox the Paris Hilton of amps (tis a pity about what it would do to the sales though)

Rob...

could be £270 or £280, import duty isn't just vat, normally. it's normally vat + a few %.

and shipping will be the killer. it could be $50, easily, if not $100.

We pronounce 'y' like the 'y' ind Yngwies name :P

^ that doesn't help, as we pronounce "yngwie" in an anglicised way, :lol:.

I think you probably do pronounce y like a u umlaut, though, remembering back to german they pronounced y a similar way...

sorry for any confusion, I think my brain wasn't working last night... I just assumed english was your first language...
