Sarlscharisma Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'm thinking of purchasing a Mesa WD800 from the USA. Does anyone know if the warranty would be valid here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 No it probably will not. Warranties are usually handled by the dealer/distributor. So you'll have to send it back to the dealer you bought it from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlscharisma Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 That's what I thought, but Mesa is very reliable so may be worth the risk and save £200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 As chris_b says, probably not, but some manufacturers have International warranties, so maybe a check on Mesa's website, or an email. I would imagine musicians working on cruise ships encounter this sort of thing all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Don't forget that if you are importing it into the UK you will have to pay duty on it plus VAT @ 20% on (cost + shipping + duty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Not all Mesa gear has been reliable for me. Ive had an intermittent horn problem in a cab, and a Titan V12 that kept overheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno1981 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Does it work with UK mains supply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Westside Distribution deal with Mesa over here. They are massively unhelpful with grey imports. Not a surprise as it cuts into their sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
