    Good luck finding one... but is it really necessary to repeat this across a total of 8 different threads?

    Haha. I just did a search for where Skylark had been mentioned. Effective strategy, non?

    Another effective strategy is to phone Doug at Coda and see if there are any specials going :-)

    Thanks, Freddie. Yeh, I was there on Saturday. Fantastic shop and staff. Not sure if my wallet can stretch to a new one!

    I think you're mistaking me for someone else! If I was after a Tone King, it would be an Imperial MK 2. Great amp. Skylark for me though.

    Weird, my mate Dave was also on about getting a Skylark! And he has a thing for sunburst Strats... Sorry, wrong dude.

    I can only afford to shop in the second hand market at the moment, @Lodious. I've bought stuff from Coda in the past and no doubt will again in the future. Great shop. By the time a used Skylark comes up on here, I'll probably have saved up for a new one anyway!

    0% at Coda.... ;)

    I briefly played the Lincoln last week, and it was very very impressive.

    You mean I can't try an amp in a shop without buying it if I like it? :-?

    To be fair, I don't think he can buy them from anyone but Coda !

    @Wazmeister Not content with feeding your own sordid amp addiction, I see that you've now turned into a back street Carr pusher! 0% you say... :))

    I think the idea is that you don't buy it if you don't like it, if you do like it, you buy it? Why else would you waste the shops time? There is a single demo room at Coda.  Last time I was there, a guy had installed himself in the demo room strumming open G/D chords on a 3.5K 335 + boutique amp for two and a half hours and walked out without buying a thing. I ended up buying an amp without a demo as I had to get back home and couldn't wait any longer, so a total waste of a Saturday.....because someone wants to play test pilots and thinks the shop is there as cheap entertainment (I'm not saying Lebarque did this)

    Each to their own, but it's not like guitar shops are shitting cash at the moment. It's totally fine to not buy stuff after a demo, but IMHO it's less good to use the shop for a demo long enough to decide that it's definitely the amp you really want, then hit the classifieds with a wanted ad.

    It is difficult...

    I must say every single time I've been to Coda, and it's a right trek for me, the service has been exceptional... that little room at the back is full of some great memories !

    I bought a Collings acoustic last week, sold my Matchless Lightning and Taylor 614ce this weekend, and I'm very close to ordering that Lincoln :)

    Ok so you and your better half are in the supermarket and on the shelves you suddenly see something a bit expensive that you both like. You go to put it in the trolley but your better half says "No, it might be cheaper at the supermarket over the road, lets go there and see." So you would tell her "No, Tesco put it on their shelves and we wouldn't have thought about it they hadn't done that, so we should spend the extra and buy it from here."

    Really? No, of course not. Walking into a shop, looking at the goods, or taking up their offer to sample their wares - none of this affects your right to spend your money how you choose. Retail legislation is based on this principle.
