    It’s sad that people are making fun of the post.

     

    Yep, gone are the days of easy trade from the UK to the EU, and vice versa.

    I agreed , clearly the brexiter still believe they haven’t been conned , but we all have been…best is to ignore by laughing

    I buy from Thomann all the time (I'm probably single handedly responsible for their various stock shortages!). Im pretty sure theyre still in the EU and have haven't declared their premises UDI, and they still often undercut sellers in the next town.

     

    That being the case I think your grievance is as much with the seller than any general situation regarding being in the EU or otherwise. The likes of Thomann show what can be done. Whether its an enormous administrative ball ache for them is a discussion for another thread, but they demonstrate that there is nothing inherently wrong with the prices they can supply to external EU customers.

     

    Private sellers are a different kettle of aquatic life entirely, and wherever they are on the globe can often have ridicuous ideas about the worth of their wares. Again, that's down to sellers being greedy/chumps/taking valuation advice from Dave down the pub and little to do with their chosen country of residence.

     

    If you found it cheaper in Japan and can get it delivered, then why the moan in the first place?  Just buy it and enjoy it. Life is too short to spend it whittling about inconsequential rubbish.

     

    Correct , cheers to that 😂

    Not really because the person selling it in spain (for instance) is not responsible for the costs of VAT and import duty of every non EU country in the world, which are all different. Unfortunately now we have removed ourself from the customs union that includes us, so our choices are reduced (in many things). THey just have to list where they are (the EU) and how much they are selling it for. It is the responsibilty for someone outside the EU to work out what their local customs and VAT charges are, because they are not fees they are getting.

     

    And if you find something from somewhere else is too expensive, the best option is to not get it. Sadly (or maybe luckily) there were a few basses I have seen that I would have bought a few years ago before we left but now with charges they are too much.

     

     

    you’re right, I and probably la majority of Uk residents and British in Britain will have to shop in UK Only , very sad for everyone ,thanks for your feedback 

  4. I agree And yes sorry I’m in uk , French but living in uk for 34 years, the example I’m saying was from Spain in British pounds, what I’m trying to explain is a greater majority of buyer in this group are in uk , so when ever  EU Seller selling to Uk market or the other way round should reflect the price that vat is charged, in custom and shipping ,I recently bought a bass in eu I ask to be post to my parents in France and paid fair price, for it …

  5. Hello Fellow basschat menber, should Bass chat highly recommended fellow  EU seller to Britain buyer a price accordingly to VAT Pay duties, the market is clearly dead is you like to buy a bass from the EU , I contacted recently a seller from Spain and indicated the problem. He didn’t care , the trouble is his bass is already well over price compared to a same Uk sale and the top we have to pay VAT , same as Eu custom buyer from us , I give you a example Uk market average price from let say a SB1000 aria from 900 /1100 pounds , in Europe I bought recently a Tatty Sb 900 for 600 euro , I saw one here from Spain for extra extra  MONEY IN pounds  NO VAT INCL I…went to eBay it turn up it’s actually cheaper with vat to buy one from JAPAN  , it DOES NOT MAKE SENSE ??? What are you thoughts, Thanks JM

  6. Hi Kusku , what is the year please ? It’s all original and garantie original, is any electronic part has been change ? Could you please post pictures of the inside cavities of the electronic ? Is the pick up

     original? Could take pictures of the back body and neck , and bottom of the bass ? Thank you very much 

  7. The story is ; I bought the bass the day before Fender Squier limited 60.s in sonic blue was available to order , so I ordered it and now received it so this Squier is now for sale , available to collect in south west London or Central London,,a real bargain at 260  pounds ,I also provided a rather old but perfect rockbass  bass bag too  the bass is as brand new ,postage now available.Thanks
