[quote name='molan' timestamp='1469395435' post='3098014'] Official govt line is: " You can bring in your personal belongings or private vehicle free of duty and tax so long as you: are moving your normal place of residence to the UK only have had your normal place of residence outside the EU for a continuous period of at least 12 months have possessed and used the belongings for at least 6 months outside the EU before they are imported did not get them under a duty/tax free scheme (but see paragraph 5.3) declare them to us as explained in paragraph 3.2 will keep them for your personal use do not sell, lend, hire out or otherwise dispose of them in the UK or anywhere else in the EU within 12 months of the date of importation, unless you notify us first and pay duty and VAT on disposal" [/quote] I'm surprised there are that many rules for taking things with you!! But yes, none of this applies to using the postal service to send items home, which I think is the OPs main query.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1469387725' post='3097937'] I'm not sure where it came from. Also I hear that Bartolinis have low output. Not true. These pickups are huge.imo the best pickups in the world. Everyone has different ears of course. I have the full Delano preamp and pickups package for sale by the way. He he. [/quote] That 'brittleness' you talked about the Barts not having? That is probably where it came from. Most modern high end pickups are full range and if not eq'd correctly can sound very hifi in the high end. The Barts sound darker as they don't have the glistening high end naturally. This was my experience with the two Roscoe's and a Warwick I have owned, certainly darker sounding than the likes of Nordstrand.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1469383052' post='3097877'] So if you move to another country, you have to pay import charges on all your belongings that you can't squeeze into your luggage? [/quote] If you use a postal service, yes. But surely you would use a moving company or something?

[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1469376419' post='3097809'] But surely, if you send them to yourself, then you shouldn't be liable for tax, as they are your property. [/quote] It doesn't matter. You legally have to declare a value on the goods you are posting, and that value will attract duty when it arrives in customs. I don't understand why the system works in this way. Well, I do; Revenue generating.

[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1469351778' post='3097524'] It Looks like Tim C isn't using the Barefaced cabs at this gig , any idea what these no name cabs are ?? [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzyPw2lpWqo"]https://www.youtube....h?v=TzyPw2lpWqo[/url] [/quote] Love affair didn't last long then? Yeah, it could be a supplied backline, but I would have thought someone of Tim's calibre would not accept any old backline?

Ship them and you have to declare their full value. Do that and you will be liable for duty. I have never understood why duty is payable on second hand products, given the tax has at some point already been paid, but there you go.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1469353354' post='3097543'] Just curious. If my band decided that we would only perform the B sides to popular record releases (pre-digital of course) and never played outside of that set... would we still be a covers band? [/quote] Yes.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1469314628' post='3097404'] PM'd [/quote] And replied I almost regret saying this, but back on topic please

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1469312656' post='3097383'] Why? Maybe we should restrict all Blue's posts to one thread? Or perhaps he should have his own sub forum. I don't get you guys. Just I gnore the threads you're not interested in. [/quote] Why? To prevent unnecessary clutter in the Forum. The same member wishes to post two threads that could very easily and sensibly be condensed into one. Please pm me directly if you have any other comments regarding moderator guidance

Can I request that there please not be a follow up thread, and relevant conversation be contained to this thread?

I don't understand how this thread has reached 5 pages, nor do I have any desire to read and find out! A cover band is one that interprets another's music and does not claim it as their own. The end.

Totally personal preference. Bear in mind the fret positions all over the neck vary slightly (if same scale length) depending on the number of frets. I don't play anything with less than 24, for the only reason that it is most comfortable for me. I find it odd playing on the 12th fret so far down the neck on 20 fret types etc.

[quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1469019219' post='3095113'] I love them, il be honest i got my first one with a Wenge neck purely because i thought it looked cool. But having had a few now, some with Wenge and some Maple i'm definitely a big fan of the feel and tone. [/quote] Absolutely, I have had Maple, Walnut and Wenge necked Dingwalls and the Wenge necks are superior in feel and tone for me. The walnut wasn't too far off, the maple sounds too clinical.

I guess technically they will allow spacing as close as the saddles touch each other, which at a guess would be around 16.5mm. I'd check for you but I am Warwickless again, but this time with no plans to return

Thinking about it, on the rare occasion I have owned a bass with a pick guard covering controls, I tended to hold the guard down with my thumb as i pulled the cable out with my fingers. Never actually thought this would happen though. It certainly can't be normal!

There's a GAS kill if I ever saw one! Sorry dude! What kind of wood strips like that, must be super soft?

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1468949301' post='3094603'] Man, you might regret it! Andertons have announced USA products are rising in price. [/quote] This is Mexican made, isn't it?
