@Rumple I saw that but can't figure out why they're charging £30 more than GAK?

[Rumple]

Me neither, I'm after a SD Antiquity 2 pickup for my Precision and it's more than double the price of buying one from the US on Ebay, even after paying VAT and import duty it would be a darn sight cheaper from America, it doesn't make sense!

Distributor costs.

Same reason why Mesa amps are mentally price over here.

Surely Rosetti are the distributers so they send to GAK? Am I wrong?

@Rumple. I called Rosetti and they will not sell direct and the prices on their site are the RRP, I was told to go to a Seymour dealer and get them to order it for me

Fair enough I guess but if it were me and you don't mind the wait I'd order from the US, it's less then £90 including delivery on Ebay, i[u]f[/u] you do get stung for VAT, import duty and the Parcelforce handling fee it's still going to cheaper if it sneaks through you have yourself a bargain I understand though that some people don't like doing that as it does make returns a bit of a 'mare should there be a fault with the item.

I have a friend who owns a music shop, I'm getting a price for my bit, if you want I can ask him to give me a price if you get me the model no. I can't promise anything but he usually gives me trade prices

[Rumple]

Very kind of you, not a problem if it doesn't come to anything.

Here's what I'm after.

I usually get my hard to find pickups from Best Bass Gear in the USA

Fast cheap shipping and even with VAT and import it's usually a little cheaper.
