    To bring it all back to Thomann: Maybe one positive outcome will be that Thomann will have to lower their prices to undercut local competitors (Andertons, PMT, GG, Gear4music etc.). Ordering from the EU is obviously becoming a hassle and only by having much better prices (after adding VAT, customs and handling fee), customers may still decide to order from them. Well, that's my hope at least 😉

    No idea, I was only referring to your quote and saying that private sales are not non-commercial transactions as money is involved. Non-commercial transactions between private individuals (as in your quote) are referring to gift-giving.

    Private sales are commercial activities (goods and money change hands). Non-commercial transactions do not involve financial transactions (e.g., gifts). So, if you want to give your bass away for free, then please let me know 😉

    Sorry if this has already been answered here or somewhere else: I am interested in a bass that Thomann is selling and that is not available here in the UK. I can see that they have reduced their prices (taken out VAT, I guess the German one) as we now have to pay our 20% VAT here. I know that I also have to pay custom duty. How much is that? Is there a table that shows the exact amount? Is the handling fee the same for all couriers? Would be nice to know before I order how much I actually end up paying. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

    I was interested in the black one and did some digging. Most feedback I found is positive. For example: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LSURVEYOR87B--esp-ltd-surveyor-87-black I also found this detailed review on a German website. There are some sound files on the second page (2/3). ESP LTD Surveyor ’87 Test :: Bonedo Main issue that got mentioned: heavy weight. My main issue is the name: "surveyor". I know it is silly but I cannot see myself buying a bass with such a name. Sad but true 😞

    Not sure about the name though. Dimension? Really? Sounds rather familiar 😉

    Guess they must have just taken it down. I was able to see the new basses just a few min ago. I had already read about them some time ago (they already got featured in the Spector's owner's manual: p. 3: https://www.spectorbass.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Spector-2020-Manual.pdf).

    Cheers. Good to see that Korg is trying out new stuff. The looks are not for me but I like the new Spector logo inlay (12th fret)

    1. Spector Custom Forte 4 in black with EMG PJx and Haz 9V 2. EBMM Stingray Classic in natural with maple fingerboard (if I ever find one) 3. EBMM Stingray Special 4 HH in Ghost Pepper or Burnt Amber or another colour (depends on whether or not some new finishes get showcased at the virtual Winter NAMM in 3 weeks) or in natural with black hardware (kind of a Timmy C sig bass, I hope for it every year, let's see, maybe 2021 is finally the year ; -) 4. Maybe a Fender 70th Anniversary P Bass (in case there is one and it is any good) 5. Tech 21 YYZ pedal

    A black Spector. Cool stuff. I have one on order too. Had to get one after I saw Mike Starr playing one in this video. Let's see if you will also jump around like him on stage (see e.g. 1:21 in the video) 😎
  11. Eldon Tyrell
    Me too. Black and red, my fav colours!

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone 🙂

    That's why I love BC. You always learn something new. I always thought the cookie monster was male, now I find out "he" is actually a "her", a granny and working for Thomann. Guess the pension (s)he is receiving from the Sesame Street show is not enough and that's why (s)he has to work for a music retailer. Sad world 😞
  15. Eldon Tyrell
    Wow, great looking bass for a great price. Love the look of that top 😍 GLWTS 👍
  16. Eldon Tyrell
    Nice one, I guess they have never heard the proverb "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar". 😒
  17. Eldon Tyrell
    No, it is one of the official 7 finishes for the new P and one of the 8 colours for the new J. So, it will be offered at least until the next series in 2/3 years, maybe called "Pro III" (Fender could it then call the Pro Trilogy) or, after Pro, Performer, and Player, a new series called "Prestige" or "Progress" or "Perfection" or "Punch" or "Pure" or "Payday"..... 😁

    Suzi rocks. I met her once at a LBGS. She was super nice. Still have the LBGS mug with her signature. Have to watch her documentary during the Xmas break.

    Fake news 😁

    The one on the right reminded me more of my Lakland Skyline 4401. Never liked the look of the lower horn. Not as bad as the one on the Bongo though 😎

    Nice one

    This week I lost out on a stunning looking Stingray Special in natural. Well, it means that I am on the market again for another one or a Classic in natural. Let me know if you want to part with one. I have already put an ad in the "Items Wanted" section but no response so far 🥴
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    Agree. However, even though I have never met Peter Hook, judging from his interviews and performances, he does not come across as someone how would care too much about marketing. Anyway, to please the marketing men and show some love for Salford (well, indirectly), he could have gone for "Greater Manchester, England" 😁

    It's an award winning bass now!
