    Importing a bass from the US

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    As an example of buying from the US, I just bought some machine heads from Hipshot in the US.

     

    The parts cost $174.24;

    Shipping (USPS with $200 insurance) cost $61.71;

    Customs Duty - £3.32;

    Import Vat -  £33.87;

    Clearance Fee (zero Vat rated) - £12.00.

     

    Total Cost - £244.59

    Original Cost of parts - £144.30

     

    :o

    The package also took 2 months to arrive, due to various cöckups on the way.

    The lead 'drives' the band and sometimes I think that if I stopped playing he'd carry on regardless.

     

    He says he plays by 'feel'. What that sometimes means is that he'll add a few bars into the structure of the song here and remove a few there.

     

    When I raise this the lead can get very angry. To the extent that the drummer had to take him outside to calm him down on one occasion.

    I think that he may have issues with perceived criticism and that's causing his simmering rage.

     

    Kill him.

    It is the only way.
