Bit weird that this is "impossible to ship". And why would you take the neck off for "safety reasons".

I've shipped countless basses and they were never "oversized", they just got the reference XL ..that's all.

You put it in a box well wrapped and if someone agrees to pay the shipping costs, what's the problem ?

Same here @wombatboter. Using TNT Express (24 hours delivery within Europe, not EEC, but Europe) will cost around 80 to 90 Euros fully insured and trackable. The shipping itself is around 50 Euros and the insurance is 5% of the value. At any price tag, I always include the shipping fee to Europe in my sales... This helps a LOT !

Sounds like the seller is only ruling out shipping to the US, which is fair enough

guys...

shipping an item at this pricetag from germany to the US now requiers customs paper work that i have to admit - i dont understand anymore and cannot provide. 

i mainly ship with DHL from germany and if the parcel is longer than 120cm (which it will be) its called "sperrgut" - which when shipped outside germany is very expensive. 

if anyone knows better alternatives to DHL i will greatly appreciate.

and BTW if someone wants me to ship the bass in one piece and pay for it, no problem!

Admired this when it was for sale on eBay Kleinszeigen last month, wish I had the money. It’s a stunner!

Just to chime in on the shipping, I would imagine there could potentially be some CITES issues  with a Wal. Wenge, Mahogany and Rosewood are all listed varieties I believe.

Brexit may also result in complications if the bass comes to the UK from Germany after 31st Dec.

I never paid more as 50 Eur sending a Bass (as a sperrgut) with German DHL to any EU country.

I don't consider that a lot...

Don't think you read this... ∆∆∆

i just checked....TNT only seems to offer their services to companys. 

[Hellzero]

Just ask Fedex as TNT Express is a partner of Fedex and certainly DHL. 

[nap]

fedex it uncommon in germany. will stick with DHL since i never had a bad experience and it the go-to parcel service here in germany.

[leroydiamond]

Better off without fedex IME. incompetent thieves.

Suggest we get this thread back on track - Damn nice bass, and I`m sure it will make its way to a new owner one way or the other! 😉
