    Importing into the EU involves, obviously shipping costs ( high from the US to Europe) and also import duties and VAT around 20% coming into the UK, not sure how much it would have been into Spain. No taxes would apply on this bass coming from Spain to UK and courier costs are much less. Really think you should facter these costs into your calculation before accusing the seller of 'taking you for a mug' [quote name='J3ster' post='696783' date='Dec 30 2009, 09:51 PM'][url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=566116&highlight=skjold+custom+series"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...d+custom+series[/url] $1800 is about £1,100 - Which you paid for it 4 months back 1500 Euro (let lone the starting price of 1800 Euro) is about £1,340 It's a lovely Bass and Skjolds are superb I agree, I may be out of order but I like to think we fellow Bassists at least treat each other fair and square!!.... I love the Bass but do not particularly like being taken for mug without knowing it!! and I wouldn't like anyone else on here to be either!!![/quote]

    [quote name='molan' post='696303' date='Dec 30 2009, 01:28 PM']That's what I thought - just seemed a bit odd to have a selector rather than a blend knob?[/quote] Yes, its a three way pickup selector: 'Neck - Both - Bridge'

    [quote name='JonnyB' post='693087' date='Dec 24 2009, 05:39 PM']It's a bass concerto whenever he's on - I love it ! Every note is 'right' though (like Bernard Edwards from Chic) Chaka Khan was touring the UK recently with Lulu and someone else, can't remember, I wanted to go to the Liverpool showing but it was sold out. I wonder if Mr Gooch was on for that? If he was then, damn and blast - missed it! I hope us Basschatters can keep an eye on his touring schedule and give a 'heads up' if he sets foot on this isle! I'd love to see him live.[/quote] Yes, Mr Gouche was on the UK tour back in February. I was at the London Shepard's Bush gig - it was in the middle of the last big freeze up and it was touch and go whether it would go ahead, due to the travel restrictions. Great gig and great bass from Andrew. Molan was there too: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39078&hl=gouche"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...8&hl=gouche[/url]

    [quote name='molan' post='692651' date='Dec 23 2009, 10:51 PM']Hey Paul, I'm always bidding on stuff - I'm pretty good at setting my max price these days & not getting carried away with last minute bidding, lol. You must let us know how you get on with it [/quote] I was thinking of the AC on Talkbass as the other one that got away, shame it couldn't be shipped - they don't come around very often. Will post again once I've had a bit of time with the p bass. Perfect timing really, everybody in the house will toys to play with on Christmas day!

    I make that two basses you missed out on in 24 hours, Barrie [quote name='molan' post='692053' date='Dec 23 2009, 08:29 AM']Nice one I got a batch of additional pics from the seller and it looked nice. I was only ever looking at it as an investment though (I generally find late '70's P's too heavy and/or chunky in neck profile). I actually thought £800 was a 'safe' investment price as I was budgeting maybe £200 to be sure of getting it up and running properly. However it may literally be a case of fitting some strings and you're away [/quote]

    [quote name='Marky L' post='692109' date='Dec 23 2009, 09:45 AM']Oh yeah, please let us know how it turns out, very interested. Hope you have got yourself a good bass there [/quote] Thanks for the heads up on that p bass. I just arrived home with it - paid cash on collection as the seller was only about 5 miles from me. Looks good the Olympic White looks just that in reality, in the eBay photo its kinda looks more brillant white. Generally in good condition with a few dings, as you youw expect on a soon to be 32 year old. Don't really know much about old p basses and will no doupt be seeking advice from the Fender heads of Basschat. OK, time to stick a few strings on that mofo....

    [quote name='molan' post='691948' date='Dec 22 2009, 11:21 PM']I chucked £750 at it but didn't win, lol. I reckoned it would kick around just over £1,000 after some work (depending on whether the pickup is original or not - owner said half of it was new & half original?).[/quote] I won it at £771 will be interesting to see how it turns out.....

    [quote name='mildmanofrock' post='685611' date='Dec 15 2009, 07:42 PM']That's true. Although some things seem to escape criticism on here - Aguilar, Epifani and Bergantino spring to mind. Are they as perfect as the reviews suggest or has anyone tried and not liked?[/quote] Maybe no criticism, though the Aguilar DB12's and GS112's are moved on all the time - one of the most often seen cabs in the For Sale forum.

    Looks ok to me, just be sure that the 2nd chance offer has come from eBay! I mean from an eBay message not an email from another source. That sort of thing used to happen when the bidders' id was available to all. Of course the winner could have been a shill bid - a 'friend' trying to push up the final sale price and hence the 2nd chance offer coming in stright away when he 'won'

    <<<Now Sold>>> Italia bass strap for sale. Its the Black/Crema one on here (the long version - adjusts 42 to 54 inches) 4" wide [url="http://www.italiastraps.com/black-leather-guitar-strap.html"]http://www.italiastraps.com/black-leather-guitar-strap.html[/url] The strap is brand new and has never been fitted to a bass. It woud be best used with strap locks or left fitted to a bass - its not the sort of thing you would twist on and off the bass pins as the ends are much more solid than say a comfort strapp. It cost me £75 to get mine sent from California, however as they had a 'buy one get one free' thingy going on I'm selling the second one I'm selling the strap for £32 inc P&P
