The same situation applies if you try buy Yamaha from Thomann.

Also Line 6, but not, strangely, Ampeg.

An interesting little article on the uneven rhythms in Bulgarian folk music

Import charges should be a whopping £4.77.  Commodity code 92 07 90 10 00, rate 3.7%

 

 

Plus the carrier’s handling charge. So probably add another eight quid onto that.

A few more contenders.

This. Primarily for the wonderful bass line from Dee Murray

Surprised the late Pete Zorn's mandolin survived this.

Currently working my way through my Lindisfarne and Alan Hull collection.

RIP Alan, 25 years today and still missed.

Got my daughter one when she was 9 and she's not looked back.

Good luck trying to find a decent strap that goes small enough. 🙂

Following the 'Standing in the shadows....' suggestion I thought, I wonder if there's a Stax book, as I've always been more Stax than Motown, dare I say they had more funk than The Funk Brothers. I found 'Soulsville USA. The story of Stax records', which gets very good reviews, in case anyone else is looking for similar.

And probably on the strength of that Höfner commissioned him to paint the artwork for a few limited edition violin basses. Nice, but very, very expensive.

Plus the artwork for this

If you're looking at Bass Bags, maybe try hiring one from them.

OK, I'll bite. What's the story behind that one?

Edit:

Ha! Just saw @pete.young beat me to it.
