Humm... thanks for the thoughts guys.
Nathan, now I look, thats a good point. $1000 = £624 + 17.5%VAT = £733 + Import duty.
Id just been looking at UK prices - eg Royer 121s are £880. Which thinking about it now Im a little more awake this morning is maybe do-able. Time to see if the inland revenue owe me any tax back.
Jules, I do a lot of singing guitarists, and small accoustic groups where the guitaris is the lead singer. As Jay said, Ive only ever been able to avoid things turning into a muffy phasy mess when Ive had a fig-8 on the guitar, aiming the dead axis at their mouth.
oops, better go to work.
thanks for all the replies!
