gjones Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) That's £620 at today's rates. Duty on goods from the States (if your friend declares it or gets caught taking it through customs) is about 25% which would take it up to £775. I'm sure you could get a secondhand USA deluxe Jazz on Basschat or Ebay for less than that that. Tell him you'll buy it for $500.

Lowender Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Check out the Squier J Deluxe. It's essentially the same bass at half the price but with a graphite fingerboard. Great bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsgbass Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 If we're talking about the same graphite, the neck adjustment rods in the Fender MIA basses are graphite. I don't know of any Fender, or Squier boards made with graphite. They do use [color=#333333][font=open_sansregular, sans-serif]Ebonol on the board of the Squier [/font][/color][color=#333333][font=open_sansregular, sans-serif]Deluxe Jazz Bass.
