Happy Birthday TVS, 10 Yrs & Still Going Strong. TVS Specialty Products was formed late in 2006, with nearly 200 TVS1, TVS2 and TVS3’s sold since then. The TVS3 is now the main seller with units exported to 25 countries around the world, though the largest sales have been to Australia, UK and France. Hank Marvin started using a TVS3 on some tracks of his Guitar Man album in 2007 and then purchased two units for the 2009 - 2010 Reunited World Tour with Cliff Richard. He also used them on a guest spot when Cliff brought his Reelin’ and a-Rockin’ concert to Perth in 2013. He again used his TVS3 on the Hank CD and is now starting on a new “red guitar” CD, again with the TVS3. The whole venture had its beginnings in 2005 when Spiro challenged Paul to come up with something that was closer to the original Shadows sound than the Zooms and Quads available at that time. Paul took up the challenge while Gary provided the expert guitar work and critical listening. Spiro took delivery of his unit in 2006, then some friends wanted one too and the rest is history! Cheers Spike

Hi Matthew, Steve and Pete
Thank you for your nice words...its very much appreciated.
Mike: To make such a unit doesnt leave much room for the icing on the cake and candles cost a fortune these days but if you were here in Perth, we would invite you over for a few drinks. Be good if your government waived the VAT as people are mainly playing it for enjoyment and not profit. Its these people that spoil the party! Thanks for your comments!!

Spike I think if it was just VAT it wouldn't be so bad, but what with carriers costs and duty & VAT it adds up to a fair amount. I had some Kinmans shipped over from "down-under" a few years ago and the total price was eye watering. Mike.

You Brits Mike? I live in Oz and it's too pricey for me haha I was lucky, I didn't have to pay import tax to Australia for the Hall & Collins cause it was under a certain amount Matthew

Hi Mike
Yep...lots of other cost involved...but thats the way it is I'm afraid.
Matthew: I'm usually free on some Saturdays but not sure what I'm doing next Saturday as we have ongoing family commitments.
The Perth Shadows Club meet on the last Tuesday of each month at the Mt Henry Tavern on Manning Road, Manning. Thats the 25th October but it seems its on a few days before you get here.
I dont run the club any longer as I dont get the time due to work and family. It would have been nice to meet you there.
Send me an email when you arrive and I'll see if we can catch up on a day I'm free.
Spike
