Agreed, add in sales or goods act/warrantee in the UK the I think the BD price is about right.
I imported some basses back when it was over two dollars to the pound. That was was some GAS fulfilled 😂
I played 3 of these at NAMM. Brilliant instruments. Carey has made a great homage to the original bass. And as @Sibob said, they were really popular at NAMM.

What about these String Swing ones on Amazon? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JDP3J10/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_N5IaFbNK4G6SA
Or this company Wallrax https://wallrax.co.uk/
And it looks like they won't supply them. Just noticed a refund on my card. No email explaining what's going on.
I've heard bad reports about Bax before, won't bother with them again.
Good condition, brought from a friend for a project that never happened. They came out of his Sadowsky NYC. Seems a shame to have them sat in a draw not being used.
Think it's a better instrument at the price point. It's obviously a different beast, but full of classic style tones. That one is at the old price, I think the new custom order ones are more now.
