Weller 5-banger

Anyone seen this?

 

I quite like it.

Weller Bass

It's been up for ages.  I stopped looking at eBay ads last spring (furlough, having changed jobs in February... not my brightest ever move), and it had been up for a year at least by then. 

It does look nice, that was one of the reasons I stopped looking

 

Edit:  Looking at it again, it's a very similar ad to the original but not the same - the original didn't give you the option of the logo.  The photos are the same.  So I assume it's a factory outlet.

I'm tempted.  But I already have too many basses...

It's a popular opinion

 

It seems that at one point I had more money than sense. That's a self-correcting condition, for most of us...

(Obviously what I'm really waiting for is a review by someone whose opinion I trust...)

From the translated text in the ad: Unpack - vote - play - have fun!

 

See where that got us....

Can someone remind me what the import duty is, now that we're in Brexitland?  Thanks.

Just seen this. Really not helpful! 
In fact I’ve contacted them to ask about import duty costs.

Neck through, Kent Armstrong pups, Grover tuners. Very tempting

I'm sorry if I'm not being helpful.

Add 25% onto the combined sale price plus shipping charge and you shouldn't have any nasty surprises.

Thanks.  I wasn't able to justify the risk two years ago, so it's not really an option for me, but I appreciate the thought.

Yeh, the 'Taking back control' mob really fkd it for everybody. Ordered something from Thomann last week and I can't yet track it. Anything s/h in continental Europe that catches my eye I won't trust to shipping; I'd rather fly over and pick it up wherever fiscally beneficial and if the seller can agree to travel with reason.

Haha not talking about you Mike! Not helping my GAS 😂

Taking BigRedX advice, it’s looking like roughly £450 should cover things.
