Doctor J Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I also had to order a one-off pearloid tuner button specislly made by Gotoh to replace the broken one as there wasn’t a single spare one on this planet 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like nice instruments. Any advice about built quality/sound ?

In the past I have a feeling Japan Direct have undervalued items in order to avoid taxes which is risky at best. I've had two Bacchus basses that I imported myself from Japan. With wonderful. The Jazz had no forearm cutaway so was a bit uncomfortable to play seated but the TwentyFour I had next was just sublime in every way. It had the 'Smith' sound in spades and was just great to play. I sold both when I rationalised my collection down to four strings, then one four string. I have some recordings made with both basses I'll dig out. Cheers ped About the duty: in your case it was a Japan-UK delivery so yes, duty around 20%. Those guys are in France so no duty (until december i guess...)
