Importing a neck with an Indian rosewood fingerboard & CITES
Hellzero replied to JimBobTTD's topic in General Discussion
Look the link below, everything is crystal clear : export permit and import permit are mandatory, so is re-export permit (travelling). Species in appendix I and II can't be traded withouts those permits, while there are some flexibilities for personal "items" in appendix III. Even if you trade inside the EEC, these permits are theorically mandatory, especially for apendix I species, you could be asked for them, think twice before selling your bass with a Brazilian rosewood fretboard (appendix I, under FLORA (PLANTS), Dabergia nigra)... It's not that complicated, but both parties have to provide their own permit, which can take some time on the buyer side : call your local customs and they'll explain you how it works and provide all the necessary documents. Here is the link to the official CITES documents and you better know latin : https://www.cites.org/eng/disc/text.php -
And a third one saying : I knew the good old one was better. :-))

I used to own something like ten pre CBS Jazz and Precision Fender basses and tried a lot. I also used to try some of these old Gibson's guitars (lots of ES) over the time. Please stop believing they are extraordinary instruments, most of them are real crap, only a few have a decent sound. I sold everything and bought new instruments, way far better in every aspect. It's only a matter of marketing. And don't forget that all these self called experts have been fooled quite often by magazines or even master luthiers (and myself also) testifying instruments as vintage when they were absolutely not... But you are right about the inflated price for a guitar built today with the same specs, except that todays guitar would be far better. Everything that is old is not better, look at me. :-))

And for the same price, you can get around 1300 pieces of this one : https://www.musicstore.de/en_GB/GBP/Jack-Danny-New-LS500-CS-Cherry-Sunburst/art-GIT0036734-000 Just change the logo and make a blind test, sure nobody will hear any difference as these old Gibson's are absolutely not worth the money asked even when they were new...

Made a trade with Andy : his Celinder Custom 6 for my Sei Flamboyant 6. Everything was perfect, great communication, great package very close to mine. ;-) And the Celinder is simply terrific ! Deal in confidence : Andy is a trustful person. Hope you enjoy the Sei as much as I enjoy the Celinder.

Anything soloed by Anthony Jackson or Alain Caron for the bass, especially on "Ton jardin". https://youtu.be/8rENeWhoNr0 And anything by the late Wes Montgomery on guitar and there were lots of hits...
