Re: Echoplex v. Electrix
Travis,
> unless you mean "new in box"
Yes, I do mean "new in box". Call me a cissy, but if I'm going to spend
that kind of money on a piece of kit (especially electronics designed
ten years ago) I want a box and 2 years service guarantee.
> There's rarely more than a few days when one isn't on eBay
The example you give is typical: Firstly if you look closely it says
'Ships to: United States, Canada'. That ain't Europe last time I
looked. Even if I could convince the seller to send it to Europe I
still have to pay shipping plus toll duty plus 25% VAT (purchase tax).
That's well over $1000 for a second hand beige-face EDP of unknown
heritage with loop-3 software, no footpedal and no guarantee that it
even will work for more than a week. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm
motivated, but not that motivated!
And after all, why should I have to go through all this? The EDP is NOT
officially discontinued or out of production. I should be able to walk
into any Gibson dealer in the world and buy one off the shelf, or at
least order one and have it within a week!
