That's what put my lad off getting one. It nearly doubles the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fil1ip Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I have just had a look and postage seems to have gone up and it's now £553! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don’t get on with mine when it arrives (in November), I’ll bring it back to the UK with me and your son can have it at cost if he’s still interested then. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I wonder if replacing the bridge with a Badass or Kickass might be a worthy upgrade. Those stock bridges are quite poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 For those interested, Sterling seems to have strengthened a little against the dollar, so it currently £319.00 for the bass and £507.11 including shipping, U.S. taxes and UK customs duties. Looks a bit ordinary to me but I do like the look of the 2 new colours for the short scale Sterling Stingrays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago And there's one for sale. Slight bit of profiteering but not really much you can do since you can't buy them new (as it stands) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago That actually took longer than I expected, but expected it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't going to be for everyone since Dart's tone is normally super compressed so the bass will sound very different in your hands vs his. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It makes perfect sense if you can order to an American address. I spend half my year in Dallas with work, so mine is waiting for me when I arrive next week. $425 (£339) makes this a decent buy. I could think of a lot of other basses I’d sooner spend £750 on though. Edited 18 hours ago by tredders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bam Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Something weird about these.... You see them, you immediately want one, you think they're a great deal......
