Also I bought a nice off white 77 RI P bass (very Ramones) from him and was a bit surprised when it arrived to find I had to assemble it (he had taken neck etc off for packing). Probably wouldn't worry most people on this site but I am scared sh*tless when it comes to anything practical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the neck off is a pretty sensible move for shipping actually, not only does it lessen the chance of neck breakage, it can mean postage savings by being able to be shipped in a (relatively) smaller box.

warwickhunt Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) So after adding on taxes and shipping of £55, how would that cost compare if you were to buy a 'similar' spec product in a UK store (I assume the matching headstock is specific to the home Japan market)? I assume this is effectively the same bass?

neepheid Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 OK, using the BIN prices: price £460 shipping £55 cost for tax purposes: £515 customs duty @ 3.7% (worst case scenario): £19.06 VAT @ 17.5%: £90.13 TOTAL: £624.19 Once you factor in potential brokerage fees from courier (ParcelFarce charge you £8 to pay the tax on your behalf), you're not looking at a huge saving. Do you pay tax on stuff from Switzerland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3V17C Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 that is a nice bass - theres an ebay shop in switzerland i think with one too, and he also has a CAR one and a white one both with matching headstock. the white one is serisously sweet!!! peace c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
