bh2 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Guitar Village has the Sonic at £2379 I'd have to add a white pick guard and covers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'd buy from the States - plenty of dealers will 'quietly' ship CS basses to the UK for way less than this, at least £1,000 cheaper (even after taxes & duties!). Officially they are all banned by Fender from selling new basses outside of the USA but quite a few of them have 'ex-demo' or 'used' stock they will sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I think they'd look nicer with dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc2009 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) In fairness, I reckon Mansons will take some talking down on price, though how much is probably dependent on how good/regular a customer you are, and the US would definitely be cheaper. IMO at that kind of value, I'd take a holiday to the states, take an empty, beaten up flight case with me, come back with one of these (or any bass of equivalent value) inside it. You'd probably come back with the bass and having had a good holiday, for less than you'd have spent on one here... EDIT: that yellow one is effing badass Edited July 20, 2011 by dc2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my new CS Stacker Relic from a guy in the 'States for £1900 by the time I'd paid duty. etc. He had bought a few straight off a dealer as investments and shipped one to me when he saw he'd over streched himslef financially.

Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Ahhh... Graffiti Yellow. It'd have to have black hardware and a b/w/b scratchplate, though. Edit- did I mention the matching headstock? Edited July 21, 2011 by Lfalex v1.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
