BigRedX Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) *Grin* Unfortunately it's of little use to me at the moment because I need 5-string basses for both the bands I'm playing in. It would look very nice on a stand in my living room, but right now I'm concentrating on owning basses that will actually get used as well as looking fantastic. To that end expect to see some of my 4-string basses up for sale later this year when I have found 5-string replacements for them.

BigRedX Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Weird... However it's still available (normally the link changing means that it's been sold) so I've fixed the link in my OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hmmm ... less than £1000. I wonder if it's actually a 1965, in which case that's a bloody good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that it is a custom version of [url="http://www.mosrite.co.jp/products/reissue/1965-reissue-bass-model.html"]one of these[/url] which given that they are ¥ 346,500 new in the standard colours is still pretty good VFM.

Happy Jack Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I rather wish you hadn't posted that. In Wunjo's a few years ago, I picked up a battered 1964 Mosrite The Ventures thinking it looked like a piece of poo. 30 minutes later, it was all Brian could do to prise it out of my hands. What he wanted at the time (I think it was about £1200) seemed like a truly outrageous amount. Now I wonder ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 [quote name='munkonthehill' post='1270561' date='Jun 15 2011, 07:52 PM']So how much is this in sterling?[/quote] At the moment there's 10% off which makes the pre-Japanese sales tax price (which is what we pay outside of Japan) ¥109,714. Shipping (based on my previous Ishibashi purchases) will be approximately ¥15,000 which gives a total of ¥124,714. That is £967.45 according to my currency exchange widget. Remember that there's also VAT, import duty and Parcel Force clearance fees to pay which will add roughly 25% to the shipping inclusive price. Allow £1250 all in if you want to buy before midnight (Japanese time) on the 27th June - after which the price goes back up to ¥121,600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
