fatback Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 [quote name='misrule' post='779935' date='Mar 19 2010, 04:01 PM']Just rang the customs helpline (0845 010 9000), to be certain. They said a bass taken to New York would be classed as a personal possession "so you shouldn't have a problem" bringing it back into the country. To avoid any doubt, they said you could get a receipt from customs at the airport before boarding your flight. Cheers Mark[/quote] Then the 'take a cheapie out and bring a good one back' scheme would depend on whether the outgoing receipt has a serial on?

Tee Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 So what happens if you buy a bass in the US and play it straight? I take it you declare you purchase when arriving back in the UK airport and then what? Do you have to pay there and then, or do you get a bill? Just wondering, because i'll be in NY next month ^_^ A bass/guitar might be a bit cumbersome/of a hassle, but an FX pedal or two could be a good idea.
