I'm thinkin of throwing a bid down on this one at the last minute, as long as it doesn't go over $800 (Australian) If nobody bids, I might try for cheaper off-line.

Is there anything I should be aware of?

Try to get a viper or a uk2 and you will be a LOT HAPPIER down the road.

Location: Sunshine State, Australia		Are you referring to the looks, or the sound?

I prefer the look of the Viper, to be honest.

I think I'll be better off financially 'down the road' as well. Better let this one slide for now.

Thanks for the reality check, Steve.

I was referring to the mojo of the 3 or 4 I have been (un)lucky enough to play.

Just can't hold a candle to the viper or uk2.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		I have one each (BW Ltd, Viper III, Preacher, and UKii) and agree with Stephen. The UKii is the best of the lot.
