Hey guys. New to the forum. From South Africa. No Mesa Dealers out here.
Just wanting to know what a Single Rectifier goes for new. I understand the list is $1099, but I am interested to know what sorts of discounts stores offer, if any. Info greatly appreciated |

I have a Single Rec myself, fantastic amp. Wouldn't live without it.
My understanding is that they NEVER offer discounts. They even have a policy with the dealers over here in the states to never sell their new amps at anything but the list price. I remember that when I worked at Guitar Center. So, as far as I know, you'll never find a new one discounted - not from a dealer that wants to keep their Mesa contract. There are a lot of good used amps you can find though. Ebay ebay.com is a great place for that. I look on there all the time for used stuff. Does anyone else know of any change in Mesa's list price policy that I'm not aware of? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? |

Thanks for the reply. Thing is I am looking at getting the new Lone Star. $1499 is the list, which is not bad, but our exchange rate is around 6.9 to the dollar so it ends up being 10K plus in our currency, never mind shipping and duties. It adds up. Thanks again |

Hi Dan & welcome to the forum...Hope to see you here often.
Id have to agree - Mesa dealers ALMOST never discount prices. Your only chances (& this aint gonna happen on the lonestar) are to get a floor sample with some damage on it. OR ....I was able to purchase a brand new Rocket 44 at guitar center in phoenix for 500.00 out the door. Im not sure what list was two years ago, I think something like 650.00 or so. Anyway, I got the deal because mesa had discontinued that amp & had given guitar center the ok to blow it out the door. I have seen a few other people on the forum from other countries have the same problem as you. Im not sure if E-bay is an option...Is it..do you have to pay duties or other B/S charges? Even if shipping was a couple hundred or more it would still be cost effective. Or if you have a friend in the states who is willing to help you out you can save some bucks.. There has got to be some kind of option..Im just glad Im not in your shoes  .... Im sure youll see Lonestar amps popping up on ebay pretty soon... Theres lots of people here with some pretty good advise, so stick around & maybe youll get some answers...or just have fun, learn & make friends!Supersecret jim - rectified

Hey SuperSecret Jim
Cheers. thanks for the warm welcome and the info. Very useful. My concern about going the ebay route is getting caught by a scam. Not in the mood to lay out a whole lot of cash, then get a piece of junk or nothing at all. Second thing is a lot of the auctios state that they will not ship outside of the USA. This is a small problem for me!  Anyway, i will most probably deal direct with the factory or with voodoo amps, they also sound kinda interesting. Thanks again Dan |

Dan,
Have you tried a Lone Star yet? I just tested one out today. Pretty cool amp. I'm going to give it a quick write-up in this section. |

Ahoy there Dan and we are very glad your here! As you can see we have some sharp guys here to help through a lot of the tech questions. A question for you though is who is popular on your top 40 radio there?

DannyJoe!!!!
Sorry, but that is one question I cannot answer. I haven't a @#%$ clue. My listening pleasures include, Lift to Experience, Slint, John Frusciante, Fugazi, and Miles and Coltrane. I am a music snob  Certainly No Top 40! Although I will hazard a guess that it is mostly a pile of tasteless dance crap. Why the interest? |

No I was wondering if it was heading into more a rock direction or as you said dance. I have a friend in Wales and he says you hear alot of Iron Maiden and 80's style Metal- Since your the first person I've talked to from your area of the world I was curious.
So there Rocket, now you get to kiss Jim!!
