DAV BG 1 - impossible to get hold of?

we've had a BG 1 on order for 6months and there's still no sign of it !

is everyone having the same problem in the UK or is our supplier just hopeless?

ps - I have one for sale ... less than 25 hrs on it ... with an extra custom mod (phantom channel control) ... its a deal if you're in Canada especially ... $800 canadian bucks (vs the $1100+ it cost me).

Cheers,

js.

Why don´t you order it directly from Mr.Mick ? Just talked to him 5 minutes ago, ordered 2 BG-2 and I will have them within 3 weeks ...

seems that there's one speed for direct orders and one for retail ones?

I think Mr. Mick can enlighten you better on this than anyone here ... Why don´t you call him ? He is at home now :-)

It is a mistake to go retail anyway.

Go direct. From the man himself.

I'd say your supplier is hopeless. Mine took a little less than 3 weeks to my door in AZ USA. Go direct. These are nice amps!

Yes, once Mick ships, it is there literally overnight. He is a one man show so the only wait will be for him to make the machine, buit once it ships...VERY fast.

I've bought both a BG-1 and BG-4 directly from Mick. Once he has it built it gets here virtually overnight via FedEx (from England to Los Angeles). So send him an email or give him a call directly if you are in the UK.

just want to set the record straight after a bit of research this is no fault of DAV, it appears DAV have never received an order from my supplier! after 6 months!! and that's me asking them about it every 3 weeks or so as well... everytime I enquired they said there's a delay and recommended I get a 'mini-me' instead.

great service from my supplier eh?

So how much does it actually cost to get a BG-1 into the US, including price, customs, and shipping? What about a BG-4? Based on what I've been reading, I'm strongly thinking about picking one of these things up.

The BG-1 , with customs, shipping , etc...will be about 740-750 bucks.

the BG-2 will be about 15-1525.
