Sibob Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 For anyone into their vintage fenders (no moaning about prices please ), check out these guys across the pond. They've just come back from a vintage trade show it seems......if I was rich!! [url="http://www.kebosbassworks.com"]http://www.kebosbassworks.com[/url] Si Quote
tredders Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Agh, Telecaster bass with the neck stamped with my date of birth... it's a sign, it means someone needs to give me $4695 right now... Quote

philw Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Wow! Yes some lovely basses there. A pity they don't seem able to size pictures properly though. P Quote
Roland Rock Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Lovely! I'm still obsessing over the '59 in the Gallery. Flame maple neck mmmmmmmmmm Quote
Chris Horton Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Thay seem to have some awesome looking bass guitars. . . . . . . . if I were a rich man . . . . . . . Quote
waynepunkdude Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 If I won the lottery they would have to re-stock. Quote
machinehead Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I don't think I've ever commented on threads like this because it's horses for courses but... silly money for highly modified old basses just because there are still a few old bits left. I fully understand that lots of people are into old Fenders but 10995 dollars for the remains of a stack knob jazz? It will sell without doubt, but not to me. And I think I could fake an old Fender well enough to fool lots of people. There must be thousands of people more skilled in faking than me so how the hell can we know what we are buying? And why does it matter? If we believe our old Fender is a 1965 or whatever it really doesn't matter if it's a fake. If there really was a difference in sound or playability I would see a point. But it's just wood and metal. If it's your thing then you'll never agree with me and I do understand that. I'm not looking for an argument, just pouring out my thoughts on the link. No offence intended. I love old cars. Frank. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 OMG Sibob! My dream 77' Ray Mocha and tidy. I know you said not to comment on prices but the next person that trolls a pre EB for sale thread telling us all about how they can get one for $700 from the states (because they could in 1987 the last time they went on holiday) is getting this linky Quote

stingrayPete1977 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 OK then realistically what would it cost for me to get the Mocha 77' over here all legit ? Quote
JTUK Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Don't know, but I'd be tempted to fly over there if I could lump something else into the trip Quote

supabock Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Anyone actually bought anything from these people?? Quote
gary mac Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Pete, dont know if you seen this site, but i found it useful, mostly for putting me off actually ordering [url="http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/"]http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-d...ax-calculation/[/url] Quote

Just doing the Calcs it comes in at £1621 which is very good IMO the dollar prices cloud the initial thought. Even the pre cbs P's are less than what most are asking private in our FS section when you do the conversion. Quote

I put £150 shipping and £50 insurance and the total price comes in about £2500 for a £1621 bass If I was American and fancied a drive to collect it! But does it qualify for all the same rates due to its age and if the shop were to accidentally sell it me for $1000 and me accidenatally wire them $1595 direct that might help level things out a bit Quote

But sure, if you have that sort of relationship with them. Very very envious of the prices they yanks can get... and I think there is an element of what our market will pay when the prices of product transfer over here Quote
