    Customs Form. Does the hard case the bass is travelling in need added as separate item with HS code and value entered ?

      I wouldn’t think so. I’ve never shown them separately.

      Just to be safe I stuck down "old guitar case" value £20.

    Is there anyone near Ross-On-Wye ?  There's a "Collection Only" bass I'm interested in , hoping some kind soul could do the middle man job.  700 mile round trip rules this one out 🙂

      Not likely but maybe I should, as a cautionary tale :-)

    My BC message alerts have been sent to "junk mail" today. Folks it might be an idea checking your "junk mail" folder and marking any BC messages "not spam".

      Unfortunately it's a known Microsoft issue that all "new" sites go through.

      Because we're on a new IP address it needs to learn that we're not spam. Guilty until proven innocent basically!

      Please whitelist to help teach it otherwise! :)

    Anybody near Padworth prepared to collect and post Billy Apples Wishbass to me up in Scotland. I'd imagine a box and bubblewrap would be required too. Cheers

      @discreet Steve W has a refreshing "F*** You" attitude to bass building. Don't know why that appeals to me but it does :biggrin:

      I've been tempted many times, but just can't bring myself to press the 'buy' button... Wishbasses are very much what you make them. I just want to make something else, I suppose. -_-

      @kodiakblair Looks more like 'F***k this' most of the time lol

      You do know I didn't actually have to pay the £16.

      No.  Should I put on some soothing whale song and light a joss stick maybe?  Owt to do with Royal Mail stresses me out I'm afraid.

      But go on...

      English Fred and The Baubles would be a great band name. Though I'm not sure whether I'd rather be English Fred or merely a Bauble. Whaddya mean, 'I AM a Bauble'..?? YOU'RE a bloody Bauble!

    Saw and heard the Billion Dollar Bass tonight and it was great :-)
