You could ask the store how much they'd want for just ordering a head for you.
went in the other day and gave it a bash again with a few different cabs. didnt really get the juices flowing as much as the blackstar did, and the guy i normally see for cheaper prices is on the male equivalent to maternity leave, so i wouldnt really know what price i'd be looking at.
however, a mesa 5:25 has just appeared on ebay for a very reasonable price, and its in my city, so that may be another option...
I think it may well be actually, shame as they are sweet little amps. See Andertons website as their is a good demo by Rob Chappers on there.
that does look sweet, I like the sound like metallica and satriani stuff they've put together too.
