Hey you guys

[ghazey06]

Hi I'm a newbie. Love playing. Searching for a new bass perferably a ibanez sr5000e. Love the bubinga.

What's your views on the ibanez sr5000

Seen one in Germany worth the money, do I have to pay import vat and tax? Anyway round this?

[discreet]

Know nothing about Ibanez basses or importing from Germany, but welcome to the forum.

Hi Ghazey06 - welcome to the BC forum.

Not sure, but I was under the impression that Tobacco and Alcohol are the only goods from the EU to UK which are subject to C&E Duties. Rest of stuff, including internet purchases from the EU, just like normal shopping. But please do check it out.

Googled this: [url="http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/post/buying.htm#2"]http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/post/buying.htm#2[/url] - hope it will help.

Welcome, Ghazey.

What counts re your question is whether you live in the EU.
For better answers, I advise you use the General Discussion forum, which is more often visited by people in the know. Here we're just the people who have nothing worthwhile to say about things bass, and who welcome new members instead.

Should you decide to stay, then you'll find BC is a well of information for newbies.
