yes siberia is close to alaska, but alas, these amps were probably built closer to the industrial areas (moscow) and not the farm/ice fields. So i'll try to stand firm that they're closer to you. =P
Bassmans and bigmuffs arent my thing, im more for gritty distortion than creamy fuzz. Though, there is a guy who lives 30 minutes from me seling a mig 100 for 400$ canadian. thats what... 175 quid? I might have to jump on it.
EDIT: ADDED
The guy sold it off the day before i called him and just didnt take down the listing. Damn it would have been a good catch.
