Hi,
I'll be in Singapore from 19Sept to 29Dec, in NUS for training.
I don't fancy lugging my VOX AD30 there, so are the amps there any nice? Like the Roland Cube 15, how much will it cost there (RM)?
Thanks.

Most of the musical stuff there are cheap...... I'm sure the Roland cube would cost much less then here in KL.

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Jul 15 2006, 10:24 AM) Most of the musical stuff there are cheap...... I'm sure the Roland cube would cost much less then here in KL. Yea, most stuff there are cheap compared to Malaysia coz Singapore has very little taxes on items, regardless guitar or Ferrari F50 or OralB toothpaste. Most companies would prefer cargo ships to dock at Singapore rather then Port Klang coz they pay less tax, unlike Malayisa import tax la, this tax la, that tax la ..... according to my auntie who works there. But not all the items there are cheap, that's why singaporens come to JB to buy stuffs. You have know the pricing on both sides if you want to get a good bargin.

amp prices there is at least 20-30% cheaper than here. but NUS is quite some distance to the main shopping areas.
