Nice bass, shame about the location...

Like the look of this but once you start loading in the £200 delivery and whatever Customs come up with for import/tax it takes the shine off it...

Yes, long time to go too.

Isn't $300 for shipping a wee bit excessive? IIRC the last bass I had shipped to me from the US&A was $150 by USPS and was here in 6 days.

Some USA sellers are a bit of a pain in the rectum when it comes to shipping but I suppose 'each to his own' when it comes to using a particular courier. However I have had basses shipped from the States (bolt-on necks removed) and shipping has cost £50-$70! I tend to think that shipping UK to The States is more expensive but I've shipped a couple of expensive (NT) Warwicks over the pond with full insurance and it cost about £100, shipping was 3/5 days door-to-door... not bad when one was delivered Boxing Day!

I didn't recall correctly - I've just looked it up and it was $115 fully insured. Even the cheapo SX bass I bought was only $63, and that arrived in 8 days

Hey chaps. Don't forget this is in Canada and not the US. Significant difference there!
Though saying that.. Quebec.. means you're adding in the "French" factor.. so triple the ass pain potential.
