Hit&Run Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I remember before Xmas there was talk of getting a big-ish order together of sweet merchandise from ishibashi. Is the idea on the back-burner, or round the U-bend completely? Bo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might say that the CIJ's are better too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Ye Gods & Little Fishes - that's a hard web-site to get around (unless you speak Manga, that is). Is there an English-version, user-friendly one I can get to instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can expect less than 400 quid for a top spec model, such as the PBUS62-xx, with is a non export 62's reissue. The US version of the 62 reissue:- [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_62vintage_precision_bass_ow.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_62vintage_...ion_bass_ow.htm[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
