Thanks all
Must be a good sign that everyone is out of stock
I know I love mine, but I only started in February so know nowt.
Yes, I have ordered from Thomann for delivery here to Portugal for my V3 but after waiting the 12 weeks (IIRC) it went back up to 4-5 Weeks at last minute, then again, so I cancelled and got it from Musiker who had it in stock.
I have to say, I cant fault Thomann, they were great for my P7, which they had in stock, and loads of other stuff and even a returned P7 from UK (its a long story, nothing wrong with bass)
But for the P5 it's out of stock on Thomman and Andertons (for very similar prices)
This P5 is for keeping at mum's in UK when I come over to visit (she is on her own now, so its quite often), hence my query about UK dealers
My dad was a mechanic, that's why I call them (main) dealers (colloquially known as 'main stealers'), not sure what they are called for music .
Actually, my problem has been solved as I found a really nice white P5(R) second hand here in PT last night at a good price, worth the €60 on Ryanair to get it back to mum's house.
Actually, I will do a search, but I was thinking, why cant I take the neck off and put it in a well padded suitcase? That is cheaper than a 'musical instrument' on flights and I bet there is no extra care taken
Cheers
