Carvin in the UK

chavhunter · 08-16-2007, 06:18 PM

Does ANYWHERE over here sell carvin amps? Want to try out a legacy but cant find a single UK stockist.

I'm fairly certain that Carvin only sells factory direct and out of the handful (less than 5 i believe) stores that they have in California. Other than that, i think the only way you'll get your hands on one is if somebody shipped one over and you find it used somewhere which doesn't seem likely. I'm sure they're good amps, but they don't seem to have enough of a reputation for somebody to bother buying overseas when they have a wide variety of European made amps of the same caliber.

Nevada Music for guitars, amps, keyboards, accessories and much more, the largest music shop in the South of England

They are Carvin stockists. Their site isn't all that great, but if you give them a call or go and check them out, I'm sure they'd be willing to help.

Otherwise I would buy from overseas and get it shipped over.

Carvin do sell their things in europe but it's usualy twice the price or more. while a Carvin Legacy combo is 1039$ direct, over here it's 2000€ (2689$). Carvin is cheap only for US and Canada, that's all. At least that's the situation in France.
I never understood why Carvin was limiting their market like that, if they'll open their 50% off policy and shipping to worldwide they'd make millions.

I was interested after seeing the US price... turns out the UK price is way over my budget... sigh.
