Does anyone have a mesa mark IV?

OUCH$$$-got mine used/mint for 1200 USD-yep..see your point!

I just don't see why I should pay over £2000 for one when they go for around $2000 in the US.

Buy one in the US for $2,000, ship it here, pay customs and VAT, then you know why  :roll:

well not really, it'd still be much cheaper even with shipping, customs and VAT.

you should pick one up used for much cheaper than $2k

the problem of course with that is that US stores aren't allowed to ship to the UK, and a trip to the US would likely cost much more than any savings...

Of course, if you're going anyway, that's a different matter.

I thought there was a big backlog on mark IV's, though? I know someone on another forum had to wait a month or two for one.

EDIT: after reading heavier than hell's post, I just realised I totally misunderstood what you meant.  :oops:

Please tell me how $200 shipping, 17.5% VAT, and about 3% customs would more than double the price.

Right, so i've narrowed it down to (i think).......

A mesa mark iv or a ENGL Blackmore

Although i am looking for a one trick wonder, i want the best sounding overdrive money can buy, even if it means getting an uberschall

Then again, i'd love a Egnater mod50 if they only got back to me

Advice?
