mrn1989 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 @Rumple I saw that but can't figure out why they're charging £30 more than GAK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 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!

mrn1989 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 @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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrn1989 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I usually get my hard to find pickups from Best Bass Gear in the USA http://www.bestbassgear.com/seymour-duncan-3band-musicman-onboard.htm Fast cheap shipping and even with VAT and import it's usually a little cheaper.
