So as you may have seen, I just scored a MESA / Boogie 4x12. I got it for 1750 NZD used - that's a little over 1000 USD. Pretty good considering that same cab is probably 3300 NZD new. So yeah, things are bad here, but here's an even better example: the guy who claims to be the Bogner distributor in New Zealand is some unhinged fella who will offer to sell you Laney cabs because he doesn't have any Bogner stuff (he never has Bogner stuff). Whereas if I lived in the US, I could have a brand new Bogner 4x12 delivered to me for 1299 USD from the Sweetwater website - that's only 2100 NZD (the same cost as a MESA 2x12). I realise Bogner isn't the best example considering how bad Bogner are with marketing, communications, and distribution, but it's a fair point.
Being a music gearhead in New Zealand absolutely blows bigtime.
