Your problem is if you buy it unseen and it needs repair, it'd be tough to find a good repair shop in Spain. Better you plan another trip out here and buy it in person. Or find someone who will check the amp out for you first and bring it to a tech for you before he/she ships it to you. —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

I've heard some good reports about Mike's Music but...that Showman has been for sale for a LONG time which means to me the price is too high. I would keep looking. — |

Yes your true.. And in Spain i have the best ingenier..he is very good and only work with old amplifiers and guitars... The second problem is that i,ll go to finish the second album in a few days (arround 2 weeks)and i haven,t a Showman here...and nobody with Showman... y have to play with a Selmer amplifier and i like will finish with a original 60-65 Showman. And sure will be a great album if I,ll record with this... http://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-LONGBOARDS-Surf-Band-Official-site/194481570589133 |

Wouldn't availability of maintenance and parts be a big issue with any amp? Maybe a deciding one? |

parts and Fedner tube amp specified mechanics are ALL over europe. no problem. Longboard, consider that if you are buying form the US, you pay much shipping, + up to 1/3th over the entire amount (including shipping) in VAT and import taxes. and after that you need to sub the power transformer or buy a step-up tranny. blackface showmans, bassmans and bandmasters are on ebay germany on a regular basis for reasonable prices, blondes too. if all else fails check www.purpleguitars.com - and see if they ship.... I can go check something out there if you want, it's in the hague. but there must be plenty more stores like that, in spain too. —Rules to live by #314: |

blackface circuit, blonde cosmetics: ah, I remembered seeying this one - '63 blonde head+cab it's from a dutch auction site (the biggest one here, ebay means nothing in the netherlands - ebay actually bought this site because ebay itself never got of he ground here.) Rules to live by #314: |

That's fine man, if you want american stuff. there's really no difference, but if it gives you the vibe you want go for it. Im a believer in vibe!!!!! dont miscalculate on the import taxes and VAT though, just so you know what you'll end up paying. —Rules to live by #314: |
