John-E-Retro Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) [quote name='finnbass' post='37965' date='Jul 27 2007, 08:25 PM']Buying from the States is always a bit dodgy..import duties, VAT, warranty issues etc. However, I have just bought one from Thomann, £450, full warranty and free delivery so that should be a good benchmark. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/line6_variax_700_bass_bk.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/line6_variax_700_bass_bk.htm[/url] Steve[/quote] So that's for a 4 string Steve, good deal. So happens Colin got his 705 (5 string) from Thomann too, cost him £675 inc. delivery, tax etc. He did try to buy one from the USA for around 500 dollars, need to add shipping, duty & VAT etc, but was unable to buy as there was no stock, hence going to Thomann. All being well, he'll be on line shortly and be able to answer any enquiries directly. John Edited July 28, 2007 by John-E-Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
