Has anyone ever ordered from blackfield.de?

I came across a german company while looking for good prices on Mesa gear (of course) and I found www.blackfield.de which seems to have some absolutely excellent prices, like this Ibanez RG1570!

It's all in german though, which shouldn't be too much of a problem, and I shall probably fire them an email, just to see if they do ship to Ireland. But I was wondering, has anyone ordered from them, or for that matter even heard anything about them? Possitive/Negative feedback?

I'd love to know, because it seems a pretty damned kickass site.

If this site turns out to be legit, I AM going to buy that RG1570.

Then sell it for twice the cost and go to Ishibashi

I hope it's a good site, because that Mark IV head looks like an excellent future purchase!

You get the Mark IV and I'll put that Ibanez through it

Karl Hungus · 10-01-2005 4:21am

I'd imagine that would be absolutely killer!

feylya · 10-01-2005 4:31am

I believe it might be alright.

Karl Hungus · 10-01-2005 4:36am

Well, I'd say I'll be getting my hands on the nomad first, so will that do ye for yer Ibanez?

feylya · 10-01-2005 4:43am

I'll be getting the Ibanez when I sell my computer...

The site looks decent enough, and thats a great price for the 1570, i have one and i sleep with it

Looks good. Looks very good. let us hope they have a better credit card system than Thomann.

the mexican fender jazz bass is 13 euro cheaper than thomann.

i dont mean to hi-jack this thread but i have a similar question...

Has anyone used www.academyofsound.com ? its an english chain of stores as far as i can see, i had my eye on this:

http://www.academyofsound.com/aosdevshop/pages/shop_description.asp?productID=492

after shipping i can see it costing me about 480euro (ive mailed to confirm)

two questions:
1. can i get it cheaper?
2. has anyone used academyofsound.com before?

Bear in mind that they give show their prices with German VAT at 16%, whereas Thomann give them with 21% Irish VAT.

hmmm

Doctor J · 10-01-2005 2:17pm

Ferdi, I think the price in Musicmaker wouldn't be too far off €480, though I could be wrong, it's been a while since I was looking for heads.

ferdi · 10-01-2005 3:25pm

yeah, i'll check

yer man from academy of sound emailed me back very quick, he said he'd charge me 10 pounds Stg for p&p to the Republic so that Ashsown head would end up costing me 450euro from there....

Anyone hear back from Blackfield?

Karl Hungus · 11-01-2005 2:59am

Nope, not as of yet.

feylya · 11-01-2005 3:04am

hmmm, the same Ibanez is €50 cheaper on Thomann

Has anyone ever ordered from blackfield.de?
