Bass is sold, please close

EDIT: I’ve found some info from a gentleman here who looked deep into VAT and duties for an instrument imported in the UK. It will be a 3% customs duty charge + a 20% VAT charge. I want to add that since shipment and insurance (which are included in the 1400 GBP asked price) are roughly 150 GBP, the declared value of the bass (which customs and duties will be calculated on) will be 1250 GBP… but I will happily discuss this point with any interested parties via PM 😉

Yes, I am. That’s why Air Courier shipment and insurance costs are on my side.

Up for sale a very nice EBMM Stingray 4H - 3 band EQ, 2011 made in old San Luis Obispo, California. Single owner. A true beauty in the classic stingray color combo of black and maple fingerboard. Get yourself a little Flea, Tim Commerfird, Joe Lally vibe! Spectacular condition, original barcode still on, no scratch or dings to write home about, except for the tiny superficial belt scratches on rear of the body, which I did my best to catch on picture. Comes with its original hardshell case, papers, etc.l Price is 1400 GBP or 1650 EUR shipped to your door. This is a UK and UE countries only sale. Last but not least: only payment method is money transfer from your bank account to mine… money gets in bass goes out. Simple as that. This is because of a couple time wasters and scammers I’ve dealt with here recently, so don’t even think about PayPal and stuff like that. Eye candies:

Sold, please close.

Up for sale a very nice EBMM Stingray 4H - 3 band EQ, 2008 made in old San Luis Obispo, California. A true beauty in the classic stingray color combo of natural gloss body and maple fingerboard. Spectacular condition, no scratch or dings to write home about. Weight is 4.1 kgs (9 lbs). Comes with its original hardshell case. Price is 1400 GBP or 1650 EUR shipped to your door. This is a UK and UE countries only sale. Last but not least: only payment method is money transfer from your bank account to mine… money gets in bass goes out. Simple sa that. This is because of a couple time wasters and scammers I’ve dealt with here recently, so don’t even think about that word that begins with “P” and ends with “aypal”. Eye candy…

Looks like my long gone 1983… best Fender color ever. GLWTS

Once again … the bass sold locally. For the peace of mind of jerks and scammers. Please close.

Thanks man… to be honest I was just wondering what crossed my mind about this Paypal nonsense… I have +20 years recorded history here , on Talkbass and MercatinoMusicale. I’ve had people wiring to my account “Fodera money” so to speak, I have a golden reputation and, nonetheless, suddenly some jerk pops up claiming he’s “more comfortable” with Paypal. You are right my friend. To the potential buyer: 1600 eur into my bank account… that’s the only way. It’s a hell of a BASS for that amount of money… it’s a brand new German Thumb almost 50% off it’s price. I’m not in a hurry to sale.

After two transactions gone bad because the stupid funds block, I was notified by PayPal that from now on the system won’t block money flow into my account anymore. So from now on I will accept PayPal payments. Mind however that in this case 1) I will not include the insurance because it’s already included in PayPal Goods and Services, and 2) I will ship the bass only after the transfer from my PayPal account to my Bank account is completed.

Same bass (except mine has gold hardware from factory) demoed by the great player/funny guy Kade Tuner. At the beginning he goes through the specs for both the 4 and the 5 strings. Demo of the 4 strings starts at minute 6:00. This baby has a nice percussive quality to the tone which is very even from the lowest to the highest note. Exquisite piano clarity voice.

Bass is back for sale. I’ve been contacted by some guy … the kind of guy I usually don’t waste my time even talking to. As a result I missed locally a bass I lusted for a long time. My bad… So, some word to the wise: 1) I won’t even talk with someone who isn’t a regular here. Not to mention lurkers and clowns.. 2) price is 1600 euros including shipping and insurance. 3) only method of payment is money transfer to my bank account. As money come in the bass goes out. Simple as that.

On hold, pending payment
