Questions - Pre Purchase

2003-06-16 by KLX Racer

OK people, I am just about to take the plunge and buy a DTXpress 
II...  However, as I am in Australia where prices are crazy, I plan 
to buy from someone like Musicians Friend in the US and have it 
shipped here by my family in the US.  Ideally, in order to escape 
customs charges, I would love to have it removed from the box (i.e 
looks second hand) and packaged in a suitcase.  Does anybody have 
any real world experience with trying to fit this whole kit into a 
suitcase?  Also, I need to know weight of the kit to work out the 
most economical shipping method.  Any help you can offer?

Cheers,


KLX

Well, you may be able to fit the kit in a suitcase.  But beware: do NOT 
try to fit it into a condom and and smuggle it in hidden in a body 
cavity.  I had a musician friend who tried to sneak a saxophone into 
Canada that way.  The condom broke, and now every time he eats beans he 
makes Cannonball Adderley noises ;-)
