Prices were a bit over the line, I'll correct them if the bass don't sell as a whole (potential buyer took day or two to sort the money).[/quote] No worries mate and good luck with the sale. I certainly didn't want to detract from your sale, that's an awesome bass. Warmoth quality is simply amazing and your bass parts are no exception.

[quote name='Gyp The Blood' post='1119072' date='Feb 7 2011, 04:39 PM']It was your figure not mine and I was just pointing out that you hadn't accounted for shipping and duty costs which rightly or wrongly tend to be factored in to the second hand sales of stuff like this.[/quote] Fine, I see your point, although the £200 asked for doesn't take into consideration delivery from the Czech republic either does it? Also, I thought the use of "[b][/b]Even if[b][/b] it's worth $340" would clearly show that this ISN'T my figure. My figure is $250 as my post, if understood properly, clearly states. Anyway, moving on...

My local guitar shop has pretty much wall to wall crap in, except they have a deal with Sandberg. I've played one of these and they f**king rule. The quality is amazing. I don't know why they aren't a bigger name. Good luck with sale, I'm tempted but car insurance month!

Won't lie, I'm tempted but I really think this is a bit beyond me! Good luck mate, an interesting build thread awaits I hope. Also, here's a really good guide to fretboard removal: [url="http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/removal.htm"]Fretboard removal[/url]

[quote name='Gyp The Blood' post='1118543' date='Feb 7 2011, 03:28 AM']$340 + shipping to the UK at around $60-$70 and then add VAT at 20%, so the total cost new would be in the region of £300-£320 landed.[/quote] Again, as I said in my post, this neck is the posters spec and as such should be comparably to the stock showcase necks at around 250 bucks so your $ 340 figure is wrong. It's more like $250, so your landed price becomes £240ish or possibly less for a new neck delivered to your door. He's charging £200 for a second hand neck before getting into delivery from the Czech Republic. The poster asked a reasonable question and I'm giving a reasonable answer. Regardless of what things go for on eBay, if someone is selling something you can get new for a similar deal then it clearly is over priced. Anyway, Im glad it looks like you've sold the bass as a whole mate, it will mean less hassle for you and it looks great as it is. Hope no offence has been caused, I was merely trying to give advice as it was requested. Good luck with the pending sale.

[quote name='kurcatovium' post='1118447' date='Feb 6 2011, 11:47 PM']Is it really $250? They must have changed their prices recently... This one was definitely quite some $$ over $300 + postage + tax + new nut (that corian was poor and broke at one point). Hmm, I tried their online calculator and it shows $340. Where's the problem?[/quote] Yeah but that's if Warmoth BUILD me a neck to my specifications, if I'm buying yours already, it's basically showcase stock built to your specifications. They have loads at a cheaper price already: [url="http://www.warmoth.com/Pages/ClassicShowcase.aspx?Body=1&Bass=1&Shape=38&Path=Neck,JBass&nWood=31"]Wenge necks, some with a nut already installed.[/url] Even if I did get one built to my specs and it's $340.00 USD, that still equates to £211.213 GBP. Warmoth stuff doesn't hold it's value very well, but you are selling a product second hand for £11 less than a new one before we get into delivery issues (you live in the CR I take it, that ain't cheap delivery either). I'm not looking for an argument mate. You clearly want to sell the bass as you said on your other thread, and it is a lovely bass made of beautiful parts but you asked the question, is it overpriced, I'm telling you it is and it won't sell at that price.

[quote name='kurcatovium' post='1116208' date='Feb 5 2011, 08:49 AM']Should I get it it's overpriced?[/quote] Personally I think your neck is overpriced. I can get an all Wenge neck off Warmoth new for $250 which is about £155. Even with all the duty, a new one to the UK probably would be under £200.

Sandbergs are absolutely awesome. Tempted but skint. This is gorgeous and I can't believe how well priced their basses are.
