Hi, I'm going to travel near Bristol-UK and I'll use this opportunity to buy a used Marshall TSL 100 head.
Could you show me some places where I can find good used amps to buy?
Most guitar shops in the UK don't take trade anymore, especially amps, so finding used is a problem. So you might want to consider ebay, but maybe try an ebay store ...I found this as an idea you might consider... give these guys a ring tell them your situation and where you'll be in Bristol, offer them £500 to do a deal outside ebay direct with their shop (ebay fees are about 10%, so 500 quid isn't bad for them). Get them to quote for shipping with insurance on a next day courier to where you'll be, then you should hopefully get your amp?
There are some great private deals going down. Also, shipping to the US from the UK isn't bad. I'm just about to ship a 1970 JMP head to Dallas from the UK and got a quote (20 kilos and 80cmx40cmx40cm) for shipping on a 3-day service - £63.00. That's pretty damn good. So it's a good way to get things home if you buy over here.
Just shipped a '71 14 kilo Marshall head, also to Dallas, via Fedex on a next day - £93!!
If you let me know what you're looking for and when you're coming I'll check around for you. AVOID SHOPS!!!!!
